aTimeLogger

One-tap activity tracking

Tapping an activity's icon starts logging at once, and activities can be paused and resumed. Paid plans let several run at the same time and remove the limit on categories.

Goals

Reach goals encourage a habit and limit goals cap one, daily or weekly, measured by time or, in Premium, by number of occurrences. The app notifies you when a goal is reached.

Reports and statistics

Reports cover a chosen date range and set of activity types, shown as charts and exported to CSV or HTML. The web app also exports reports to PDF.

Widgets, watch and automation

Home and lock-screen widgets, Apple Watch and Wear OS apps, Siri and Apple Shortcuts actions start or stop tracking without opening the app. Tasker does the same on Android.

Pomodoro, calendar and custom fields

Premium adds a configurable Pomodoro timer with strict mode, countdown timers, copying logged time to the system calendar, and custom fields such as an hourly rate.

Sync, web app and AI assistants

Premium Sync shares data between iOS, Android, macOS and the web app. An open-source MCP server lets Claude and other assistants start timers and fetch reports with a revocable token.

ATracker

One-tap tracking

Creating a task takes seconds and one tap starts or stops it. The timer keeps running when the app is closed or the phone is asleep, and alarms can be set per activity.

History in list and calendar views

Every entry is stored and shown as a list or on a calendar. Entries can be edited afterwards, notes added, and time that was missed logged later.

Charts and reports

Pie charts and bar charts show where time went by task or by tag. Reports can be shared, and Pro exports the underlying data as CSV.

Goals and tags

Daily and weekly goals are set per task or tag, with reports on progress. Advanced tags hold numbers or drop-down values, so counts such as books read can be tracked too.

Two-way calendar sync

Task entries can be saved as calendar events, and existing calendar events can be converted into task entries.

Web version and sync

Premium subscribers get a web app with dashboards that combine pages such as the home page, history and reports, and their data syncs between iOS, Android and the web.
