Happy time tracking! ——— Timery has been featured on MacStories, Cortex, Connected, AppStories, Upgrade, and The Sweet Setup. Federico Viticci, MacStories: “What sets Timery apart from other time tracking utilities is the unique combination of developer Hribar’s understanding of the needs of Toggl users and his embrace of modern iOS and iPadOS technologies. Timery isn’t just a more customizable Toggl client with advanced features […]; it’s also an exemplary iOS and iPadOS citizen that showcases what great iOS and iPad apps should offer.” Myke Hurley, Upgrade: “Timery is my favorite iOS app ever. I get such great use out of it, so it’s personal to me. Time tracking is a big part of my life. But this application—the amount of work that is put into this and new features is truly astounding. […] It’s really just a masterclass in long-term app development.” Mike Schmitz, The Sweet Setup: “Timery is hands down the best time tracking app for iOS. It gives you a functional user interface that is perfect for managing your timers and your time entries, the Shortcuts support is stellar, and the widgets eliminate much of the friction that typically comes from starting and stopping manual timers.” ——— Subscription Details: • Payment will be charged to your Apple ID account at the confirmation of purchase or after the free trial period if offered. • Your subscription will automatically renew unless it is canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
