Tracking time across multiple devices and the web couldn’t be simpler, whether you want to hit the Start and Stop buttons as you go through the day or fill in blocks of time manually. Your time can be divided into different projects and have different tags attached, allowing you to see which blocks of time are tied to which work or non-work activities.
Once you’ve created some statistics, there are a number of useful reports you can use to get a breakdown of how you spent your time. There is also a standard calendar view. The app offers many of its features for free, but you can choose to pay ($5 per month and up) for more options and customization features, such as the ability to split times and add breaks.
Timelines
Timelines can categorize your day for you.David Nield
Timelines It’s worth checking out as a time tracking solution, as long as you use an iPhone or iPad; It is not available for Android or desktop. If you want to track time using an Apple mobile device, you’ll find this to be a flexible and intuitive option, sticking mostly to the basics in terms of features, but doing them all well.
All you have to do to get started is tap the Add timeline Button: Your “timelines” can be socializing, working, relaxing, studying, or whatever you want. Then you simply start and stop the timers as needed and the app gives you reports as you go. You can also set goals for how much of something (like exercise) you want to do during a day, a week, or a month.
The app quickly creates a complete picture of how you spend your time, without overwhelming you with different screens and functions. You can start using Timelines for free, with additional features such as cross-device syncing, long-term trend reporting, and unlimited time tracking categories, available for $4 per month.
Simple time tracker
Simple Time Tracker is not complex, but it offers a lot.David Nield
Having mentioned an exclusive app for iPhone and iPad, it’s only fair that we mention an app that you can only get on Android. Simple time trackerAs the name suggests, try to stay out of the loop as much as possible when it comes to monitoring where your time goes. You can start and stop time slots with a tap, and everything in the app is well designed.
There’s a lot to delve into here beyond the basics. Different activities (like reading or playing sports) can also be divided into different categories (like work or play) and customized with your own colors and icons. You can set goals to meet certain time thresholds and get real-time reports of how the hours in your day are being spent.
The app works great because it lets you choose how simple or detailed your time tracking is. You can really drill down into individual days and times if you want, or stick to a broader overview. Perhaps best of all, the app is completely open source and free to use, although I would recommend sending a donation to the developer if you find the app useful.
