Timelines Time Tracking

I despise giving this app a 5 star review. I hate subscriptions, and $40 a year feels way too expensive. That said, this stands as the uniquely functional personal time tracking app for the Apple Watch. I experimented with all of the other options including atracker, toggl, timery/toggl, and lifecycle, and this is by far the best of them. It allows quick switching of tasks with minimal button presses, easy editing of tasks on the watch, review of events on the watch, fast/consistent syncing between device, and great integration with shortcuts, siri, health app data, and watch face complications. I use my watch as a dumbphone, independent of my iphone, so these features are absolutly nessesary. Only timery/toggl came close in ease/functionality, which relys on toggl's increasingly restrictive free subscription. I now track every minute of my day with this app with ease and convience. I would especially recommend this to people with ADHD or anyone who easily looses track of where their day goes. I hate the subscription price of this app, and would heavily encourage the dev to offer an expensive lifetime option. That said, for how well this app works I just can't make myself reduce this review to 4 stars. Thus, this is the only app I pay to subscribe to.

I started using this for a bit of a different reason than most.. It always seemed to me that my cats laid with my partner more than me 😅 so I started tracking when they laid with me (turns out they lay with me a lot too 😂🥰). I’m ADHD so I have really bad time blindness (things that I think take forever take practically no time and things I think take a ridiculously long time rarely do) so I started using this for basically everything and it has been so helpful! I’ve tried some others and this is definitely my favorite. I like the UI far better than others and I love that you can track more than one thing at a time. It would be awesome if you could track more than one thing at a time from the same timeline, but there’s ways around that not being a feature so it’s not worth losing any stars over. The only other thing is that I would really like a one time option to reorder your timelines. The reason for this is that the first 3 timelines I set up were the workouts, sleep, and meditation ones since it had prompts to do so. The problem is that if you no longer have pro, you are only allowed 3 timelines and those 3 only import if you have pro. There are other things that I would much rather track since those items are tracked in the Health app, but the only way I can see to rearrange them is to delete and reimport them (but I’ve added my own edits as well so I would lose those if I did that). But overall I love this app. And I’ve emailed the dev before, and they are very kind and responsive which is always a major plus!

After reading 168 Hours, I really want to track my time and identify those opportunities in my week that I am wasting and to discover why I feel so tired all the time. The problem…. Time and ease. I really did not need another spreadsheet in my to do list(also on a spreadsheet).This tool makes it easy to track and analyze time usage at a glance. The best feature? Dual tracking. Yes I commute an hour each day, but I also “read” an hour a day during the same time period. I get my hair colored, but I grocery shop by shopping online for pickup at this time. If I am extremely tired during a week, I have found out it is because I have squeezed in too many multitasking time periods and not enough single focus activities like meditation, hiking or crafting. I able to adjust and feel more rested before I feel entirely spent. Love it! My next use for it? Using it to claim back the time I give to the takers at work… how much time am I doing what I think is important as opposed to fixing someone else’s emergency. I can’t wait to see the results? Is it as bad as I think it is or am just I oversensitive…. I can’t wait to find out! Thank you for this excellent tool!
