Halff is the honest audit of your day. Your day is 48 half hours. Every 30 minutes, Halff asks what you just did. One tap: it paid you back, or it cost you. No timer to start, nothing to stop. By evening you know where your hours went: a score out of 100, your productive hours, your wasted hours, and what ate your day. WHAT YOU GET • A reminder every 30 minutes, only between the two hours you choose. Never at night. • One tap to score, with your own categories: deep work, content, prospecting, meetings, sport, sleep, and the ones that cost you. • A daily score out of 100, built from four parts: value ratio, volume, completion, streak. • The streak: one scored half hour a day keeps it going. • Your last 30 days, your week and your month, your typical day, your focus blocks, your records. • 18 widgets, three of them on the lock screen. • Sleep read automatically from Apple Health. • Halff for Mac: a light under the notch that asks every half hour. Same account, always in sync. • A discipline report every 30 days. Halff doesn't block anything. It shows you the truth of your day, half hour by half hour. That's enough to change it. Free trial available. Subscription billed through your Apple account, cancel anytime in your settings. Terms: https://halff.io/cgu.html Privacy: https://halff.io/confidentialite.html
