Where does your time actually go? Wime answers that automatically. It runs quietly in the background and turns your day into a clean timeline of the places you spent time, home, work, the gym, your favorite lunch spot, with no typing, no timers, and no account. EVERYTHING STAYS ON YOUR IPHONE Wime has no login and no cloud. Your places, visits, trips, and notes live only on your device. Nothing is ever uploaded, sold, or shared. Privacy isn't a setting, it's the whole design. AUTOMATIC TIMELINE Move through your day and Wime builds your timeline for you: when you arrived, how long you stayed, and the trips in between. Name a place once and Wime remembers it. INSIGHTS THAT MAKE SENSE A clean breakdown of where your hours went, by place and by category, for today or the whole week. See at a glance whether your time matched your intentions. YOUR ACTIVITY MAP See the area you actually live your life in, drawn as a single zone around the places you visit most, with the occasional one-off trip left out, so it reflects your real routine. EXPORT ANYTIME Own your data. Export everything as JSON to share with other apps, back it up, or hand it to an AI assistant to analyze your week.
