Tracking time across multiple devices and the web couldn't be simpler, whether you want to press Start and Stop buttons as you go through your day or manually fill in time intervals. Your time can be divided into different projects and given different tags, allowing you to see which blocks of time are associated with which work or non-work activities.
Once you've built up some statistics, there are some useful reports you can use to get details on how you've been spending your time. There's a standard calendar view too. The app offers many features for free, but you can choose to pay ($5 a month or more) for more customization options and features, like the ability to split your time and add time off.
Timeline
Timelines can categorize your day for you.David Nield
Timeline It's worth considering a solution for tracking your time, as long as you're using an iPhone or iPad—it's not available for Android or desktop. If you want to log time with an Apple mobile device, you'll find this to be a versatile, intuitive option that mostly sticks to the basics in terms of features but does them all well.
All you have to do to get started is click Add timeline button: Your “Timeline” can be socializing, working, relaxing, studying, or whatever you like. Then you simply start and stop the timer as needed, and the app will give you reports as you do. You can also set a goal for how much of something (like exercise) you want to record in a day, a week, or a month.
The app quickly builds a comprehensive picture of how you spend your time without overwhelming you with different screens and features. You can get started with Timeline for free, with additional features—such as cross-device syncing, long-term trend reports, and unlimited time tracking categories—available with costs 4 USD per month.
Simple time tracker
A simple time tracker that isn't complicated—but offers a lot.David Nield
Having mentioned an app specifically 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 implies, try to stay away as much as possible when tracking where your time goes. You can start and stop intervals with just a tap, and everything in the app is logically laid out.
There's a lot more to learn here than just the basics. Different activities (like reading or playing sports) can also be divided into different categories (like work or leisure) and customized with their own colors and icons. You can set yourself goals to meet certain time thresholds and get real-time reports on how your day's hours are spent.
This app works really well in that it allows you to choose how simple or detailed your time tracking is. You can really dig into individual days and times if you want, or stick to a broader overview. Perhaps the best part is that the app is completely open source and free to use, but I recommend sending a donation to the developer if you find the app useful.
