Make a little room for yourself. Timosaic is a time journal you fill with color. Each day has 96 little blocks, each holding 15 minutes. Give work, learning, creativity and rest a place in the picture — without turning every minute into a target. PAINT A MOMENT Choose an activity in Today, then tap or swipe across the grid. Each stroke saves automatically. Undo, redo or erase when you need to; hold a block to adjust its times. Adjacent entries of the same activity become one continuous stretch on your timeline. KEEP THE STORY, TOO Tap + to choose a time, activity and color. Add a note, tags or a place. For the day as a whole, Diary holds your thoughts, a feeling in your own words, a little joy and something to look forward to tomorrow. LOOK BACK WITH KINDNESS A colorful month of entries helps you revisit ordinary days. Open a date to see its timeline and notes, or filter by activity and search for a memory. FIND YOUR OWN RHYTHM Observe sleep, movement, work and waking activities separately, with a little room for life beyond work and sleep. Adjust personal sleep references and work reminders; missing entries are never treated as zero. Keywords come from your own tags. Explore daily distributions, activity totals and periods of focus. When enough time has been recorded, compare the same elapsed portion of two periods. Insights use only your own entries: no Screen Time access, no guessing your feelings, and no treating blank time as rest. MAKE IT FEEL LIKE YOU Personalize your activities, colors and icons, along with your profile photo, name and signature. Gentle botanical art, little words of encouragement, and light and dark appearances make space for a softer daily ritual. ON YOUR DEVICE No account required. Record offline and export your data as JSON, or time entries as CSV. This version does not include cloud sync; keep separate exports of important memories. You do not have to fill every block. Rest belongs in the picture, too. Timosaic. See your life, one block at a time.
