a time tracker that tattles on where your day went, without goals, streaks or guilt

end goal → know where your day went without having to open the app, and without anyone keeping score

The problem

People underestimate where their time goes, and most time trackers answer with goals, streaks and a score. Tocky's brief was the opposite: your day has receipts, and nobody is going to tell you off about them.

What I built

An iOS-first time tracker. An owl with five expressions does the talking.

• One-tap timer. Pick a category, start, pause, resume, stop. The time is worked out from when the session started, ended and paused, never counted second by second, so it stays right even when iOS puts the app to sleep.
• Home: today at a glance. What ran today, split by category, with the session in progress pinned on top.
• History. Every session grouped by day, and each one can be opened to fix its times, category, note or linked task.
• Insights. A weekly chart of where the hours went, compared with last week as a plain observation rather than a score.
• Tasks. A short list of things to do, which a session can be linked to so the time lands against the work.
• Your categories. Add your own, archive the ones you stop using and restore them later. Light and dark mode both work.
• Export and reminders. Everything leaves the app as CSV or JSON with the same durations the screens show, and an optional daily nudge reminds you to log, without a target to miss.
• Private by default. Everything is kept in SQLite on the phone, with no account and no network calls when starting or stopping a timer.
• It catches its own mistakes. A timer left running overnight, or one that starts in the future because the clock moved, is flagged when you open the app, and a save that fails says so instead of pretending.
