Track time spent studying, creating and reading with Start and Stop. Time Log is a simple activity tracker for understanding how you spend your own time. START WITH AN ACTIVITY NAME Add an activity with just a name. Tap Start to save its starting time and see the elapsed time. Switching to another activity ends the current session and starts the next at the same instant. Only one activity runs at a time. DAILY AND WEEKLY TOTALS ON HOME See todayβs total and the current week, starting Monday, without opening a separate dashboard. Tap an activity to review its totals and history. Sessions crossing midnight are split across the days they overlap. ADD AND CORRECT PAST SESSIONS Forgot to record a session? Add it in History. Edit start and end times, change the activity or delete a record. Overlapping sessions are rejected to avoid double counting. Archive activities while keeping their history. RESTORE WHEN YOU RETURN Time includes screen lock, app closure and device restarts until you stop. When you return, elapsed time is calculated from the saved starting time. A reminder appears for long sessions so you can check for a forgotten stop. Your activity records stay on your device. No account or proprietary server sync. Free to use with a small banner ad. Recording works even when ads are unavailable. See the privacy policy for advertising SDK data processing. Available in English, Japanese, Korean, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Spanish, French, German, Italian and Brazilian Portuguese. Dark mode follows your device setting. Daily totals use the deviceβs current time zone. Manual clock changes cannot always be detected. OS backup restoration is not guaranteed. Designed for personal activity records, not attendance verification, payroll or invoicing.

Awayling is a focus timer with a pet that grows on the time you spend away from your phone. HOW A SESSION WORKS Pick 15, 25, 45 or 60 minutes, start the session and lock your phone. Come back when the timer ends and the session counts. Your first three finished sessions each day help your pets grow and lift their mood. If you leave the app without locking the phone, the session ends. Awayling knows the phone locked only if it has a passcode. YOUR PETS Your pet hatches from an egg, then grows to young and then grown. Each pet comes in four colors: pick one when it hatches or change it any time. THE COMMONS A new egg comes at 10, 30, 60 and 100 good days, then every 50, and you pick who hatches. Every pet you raise lives in the Commons and keeps growing, and up to five stand on the Home tab. The Commons gains a pond, a tree, a bench and a lantern as good days add up, and your pets write you short letters at set counts. Grass bends in the wind, and awake pets breathe, blink and wander once they are young. About a minute after you open the Commons, touch it or scroll it, the scene settles into a still picture. With Reduce Motion on, it stays still. GOOD DAYS A day with a finished session is a good day. Good days add up and never reset. New habitats open at 3 and 7 good days. The Week tab shows each day, and you can share a weekly card with the pet in front, your finished sessions and an invite link. Awayling times focus sessions while your phone is locked. Your pets and your history are stored on your phone. A daily 8pm reminder is available and stays off until you turn it on. FREE AND KEEPER Free: the Ember species, the Commons, every egg and letter, all four colors, three habitats, 14 days of history, focus sessions, growth and sharing. Awayling Keeper is a one-time purchase. It adds Dewy and the Keeper species added later, plus two more habitats and your full history. Keeper species hatch from your next egg, like every pet.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Time Log at none against Awayling's 1. Awayling's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 9 days). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
