Part 01 · Overview

Welcome

What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first

3.0

GPA, above 34 of the 42 other time tracking apps we grade

aTimeLogger is a personal time tracker that began as an iPhone app in 2010 and now also runs on Android, the web and macOS. Activities start and stop with a tap, a widget, a watch or a voice command, and the app turns the log into daily history, charts and goals. Standard and Premium are one-time purchases, and a monthly subscription adds sync between devices, the web app and access for AI assistants.

To get you started, here are 9 things to know about aTimeLogger, taken from its own pages and our grades.

Tapping an activity's icon starts logging at once, and a widget, a watch or a voice command does it without opening the app at all.
From our grade for ease of use
  1. 1

    Best for tracking your whole day without a subscription

    aTimeLogger logs your day when you tap an activity, from the app, a widget, your watch or a voice command, and Standard is $5.99 once and Premium $10.99 once.

  2. 2

    What it costs

    Paid plans start at $5.99 one-time purchase (Standard).

  3. 3

    There is a free plan

    Core time tracking, widgets, Apple Watch and Wear OS apps, and Siri Shortcuts or Tasker integration. Unlimited categories, reports, goals, reminders and export need a paid plan.

  4. 4

    It runs on 4 platforms

    iOS, Android, Web and macOS.

  5. 5

    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.

  6. 6

    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.

  7. 7

    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.

  8. 8

    A 3.0 GPA, above 34 of 42

    That is against the other time tracking apps we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.

  9. 9

    The plain part of aTimeLogger you could make: time tracking, goals, Pomodoro timer and reports. What surrounds it you could not. The 3 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.

The report card

Best for tracking your whole day without a subscription

aTimeLogger logs your day when you tap an activity, from the app, a widget, your watch or a voice command, and Standard is $5.99 once and Premium $10.99 once. But sync between devices and the web app need Premium Sync at $4.99 a month, the free tier has no reports or export, there's no invoicing, team or Windows app, and the Mac app's latest version dates from November 2023.

ToolGPA report cardaTimeLoggerGraded Oct 10, 2026
SubjectGradeComment
Value for moneyAStandard is $5.99 once and Premium $10.99 once, and the FAQ says they never expire. A year of the typical time tracker runs to about $80, against one payment of $5.99. Sync is the exception, at $4.99 a month.
Free plan and trialCThe free tier tracks time, with widgets, an Apple Watch and Wear OS app and Siri Shortcuts. But reports, goals, reminders, export and unlimited categories all need a paid plan, and a tracker you can't get a report out of only takes you so far.
FeaturesCFor logging a personal day it has one-tap activities, simultaneous timers, reach and limit goals, charts, CSV and PDF export, Pomodoro, calendar copying, custom fields and an MCP server for AI assistants. A smaller job than this category though: the FAQ says no invoicing and no team management.
Ease of useB4.7 from 305 App Store ratings, a small number of votes. Tapping an activity's icon starts logging at once, and a widget, a watch or a voice command does it without opening the app at all.
Platforms and integrationsAiPhone, Android, macOS and the web, with Apple Watch and Wear OS apps on top. Apple Shortcuts and Tasker automate it, and an open-source MCP server lets Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor start a timer. No Windows or Linux app, and the Mac listing's latest version is dated November 2023.
Grade point averageVery good, out of 4.03.0

An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.

Who aTimeLogger is for

  • Fits if you'd rather pay once than rent a time tracker by the month
  • Works for solo freelancers who need hours per client but no team features

Who it is not for

  • Skip it if you want invoices or a team, as the FAQ says it has neither
  • Not for you if you want sync between devices or the web app without a subscription, since that's Premium Sync only
  • Tight if you stay free, because reports, goals, reminders and export all need a paid plan
  • Watch out: the website and the US App Store disagree on Premium ($10.99 against $9.99) and Premium Sync ($4.99 against $5.99)
  • Skip it if you're on Windows or Linux, and note the Mac app's latest version is dated November 2023

Good to know

Worth knowing

  • The website and the US App Store disagree on two prices: Premium is $10.99 against $9.99, and Premium Sync is $4.99 a month against $5.99.
  • Sync between devices and the web app need the Premium Sync subscription; the one-time purchases do not include them.

Keep it, or make your own?

Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.

Keep it

The plain part of aTimeLogger you could make: time tracking, goals, Pomodoro timer and reports. What surrounds it you could not. The 3 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.

It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 3.0 is higher than 34 of the 42 other time tracking apps we grade. It costs $5.99, paid once.

What you could make

  • Time tracking, goals, Pomodoro timer and reports: an app builder makes these well.

What you could not

  • Apps for macOS, iOS and Android that stay in step with each other.
  • It plugs into other products, Apple Shortcuts, Tasker and Claude among them, and has an API.
  • Hooks into the device itself: an Apple Watch app, a Wear OS app, widgets and Siri.

What this rests on. aTimeLogger’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
