About

Untime

Features
Read full description

Untime is a time budgeting app. It helps you decide where your hours should go before the week starts, then shows you where they actually went once it ends. You give each part of your life a weekly time budget, log sessions against it as the days pass, and end up with an honest picture of how the week really played out. The idea behind it is that not all time is created equal. Some you want more of and some you want less of, so every goal in Untime is one of two kinds: - A Grow goal is something you want to tend more often (e.g. reading or exercising). Its budget is a target to reach. - A Reduce goal is something you would rather let fade (e.g. social media or gaming). Its budget is a ceiling to stay under. FREE FEATURES - Grow goals (e.g. reading or exercising). - Live timer you can start from any goal. - Weekly overview of every goal against its budget, with daily rollups. - Timeline that lays your day out on a 24-hour grid, where you can drag sessions to move them, pull the handles to resize, or tap to add one. - Weekly statistics, with a donut of where your time went and a breakdown for each goal. - Light and dark themes. UNTIME PREMIUM - Unlimited goals, track more than the free three goals. - Reduce goals, cap the time you want less of (e.g. social media or gaming). - Archive goals, hide a goal while keeping its history. - Live activity to watch a session run on your lock screen.

Track the time you spend reading, studying and practicing with Tsumoru. Start a timer, save your session, and see your hours add up. A fifteen-minute session counts too. Taking a day off never resets your total. START, FINISH, SAVE Choose a category and start the timer on your iPhone. Name your categories for what matters to you: language study, piano, reading or another skill. Create as many as you need. No NFC tag or Apple Watch required. SEE YOUR WEEK AND YOUR PROGRESS • See your time by weekday in a weekly chart • Review each category's total and the last 12 months • Set an hours goal and daily or weekly time budgets • Estimate when you will reach your goal at your pace over the last 7 days MORE WAYS TO START Start and end sessions from your Apple Watch. Use the Action button, or hold your iPhone to an NFC tag on your book or desk. Tap the tag again to finish. NFC is optional and needs a tag, sold separately, plus a Shortcuts automation set up once. PAUSED TIME DOESN'T COUNT Optionally block selected apps during a session. To use one, choose to pause and unblock, then reopen that app. Paused time is excluded from your record. Return to Tsumoru to resume the same session. YOUR TIME, AT A GLANCE See today's time and your running session on the Lock Screen, and your total and category breakdown in Home Screen widgets. Tsumoru also supports Live Activities, the Dynamic Island, StandBy and Apple Watch complications. KEEP PAGES AND NOTES Photograph the page when you finish reading to capture its page number. Dictate a note to remember what you worked on. Enable these options for each category. Text recognition and speech recognition run on your device. KEEP YOUR OWN PACE No ads, no account, no streaks, no rankings and no notification reminders. Records come from the timer. You can shorten or delete a session, but you cannot add time manually or increase recorded time. Records are stored on your iPhone and in your own iCloud.
