TimePalette is a simple time-tracking app that lets you record and review your daily time with just a tap, whether you are studying, doing chores, working, enjoying hobbies, exercising, or resting.

Tap an item to start tracking, then stop when you are done. Your day is shown as a colorful timeline, so you can naturally look back and see how much time you spent on each activity. ■ What You Can Do with TimePalette ・Easy time tracking with a tap Record chores, study, work, breaks, sleep, hobbies, and other daily activities by tapping items that fit your lifestyle. ・Timers for each item Set timers such as 25 minutes for study and 5 minutes for breaks.

Some timers just count your minutes. Wick turns focus into a ritual you actually want to return to. Light a candle, name one honest intention, and begin. A little candle burns beside you while you work — put the phone face down, and the flame holds the time for you. When the session ends, you've made something real. MAKE FOCUS A RITUAL Choose Pomodoro, Flowtime, or a plain timer, then step into a warm candle room — no angry red numbers, no pressure. Just you and the next stretch of deep work. GUARD THE HOUR Turn on the Shield and Wick keeps distracting apps behind a gentle wall while you focus — a breath of friction, never a cage. There's always an exit for you. ONE HONEST INTENTION A DAY Skip the endless to-do list. Name what matters, give it your full flame, and let the rest wait its turn. ONLY COUNTS THE FIRE THAT WAS REAL Wick logs the focus you truly gave — nothing padded, nothing faked. Watch small flames add up on your almanac, one focused day at a time, and keep a streak worth keeping. YOURS ALONE No account. No sign-up. No tracking. Everything runs on your device. Wick is free to use. Wick Pro is a one-time purchase — no subscription — that unlocks deep-guard mode, candle skins, ambient sounds, and more themes.
