Ever ended a busy day unable to say where the hours went? Most time trackers make it worse: create a project, pick a category, fill in a form, three to five steps before the clock even starts. Then you forget to stop the timer, the data breaks, and you quit by day three. WhereTimeGo fixes that. One tap starts the clock. Categorize later, or not at at all, because nothing gets lost. Daily, weekly and monthly pie charts show exactly where your time goes. ONE-TAP TRACKING Start with a single tap, no project setup required Pick a category when you stop, with custom colors and icons Three-step onboarding gets you going in seconds UNCATEGORIZED SAFETY NET Forgot to categorize?
