Best for tracking time by flipping a cube
TimeFlip is a 12-sided Bluetooth cube you flip to start timing a task, at $59 once with free apps. It's 12 tasks per cube, there's no free tier or trial, and the apps are phone and web only.
Who TimeFlip is for
- Fits if you like a physical object to switch tasks and hate starting timers
- Works for people with a handful of repeat tasks
Who TimeFlip is not for
- Skip it if you juggle more than 12 tasks, as one cube holds 12
- Not for you if you want to try before buying, since only a money-back guarantee is offered
- Too light for team timesheets or invoicing, as it logs time to tasks
- Watch out: free shipping takes about 3 weeks, and it needs AA batteries every 6 months or so
Why TimeFlip gets a 2.2
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- AValue for money$59 once per cube, with free apps. That's under a year of the middle time-tracker subscription ($6.99 a month), though it's the top of the one-time prices.
- FFree plan and trialNothing free to try. There's a 30-day money-back guarantee, which isn't a trial.
- CFeaturesDoes its one job fully: timing 12 tasks with billable rates, Pomodoro mode and exports. A cube covers only 12 tasks.
- CEase of useNo store rating on record. You pair it over Bluetooth, label the sides in the app and keep batteries in it.
- BPlatforms and integrationsiOS, Android and a web app, with calendar links and an open API. There's no desktop app.

Keep TimeFlip, or make your own?
Your call
A time tracker at its plainest is a start button, a stop button and a table of hours.
You could make the core of TimeFlip for yourself: time tracking, Pomodoro timer and calendar. What you would give up is listed below. Whether that is worth the price is your call. At $59, paid once, it costs less than the weekend it would take to replace, which is the argument for keeping it.
What you could make
- Time tracking, Pomodoro timer and calendar: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- It plugs into other products, Google Calendar, Apple Calendar and Outlook among them, and has an API.
What this rests on. TimeFlip’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.
What is TimeFlip?
TIMEFLIP2 is a battery-powered, Bluetooth-connected twelve-sided cube. Each side is assigned a task, and flipping the cube to a side starts tracking time for that task. Time syncs to free iOS, Android and web apps with reports, calendar connections and an API. The vendor sells the cube once, with no software subscription.
Worth knowing
- It is a hardware product: one cube tracks only the 12 tasks assigned to its sides.
- Each cube runs on AA batteries, and the vendor says quality alkaline cells last 6+ months.
- The apps cover iOS 10+ and Android 7+, with no desktop app; the web app is for review and export.
- Free standard shipping takes about 3 weeks; a 5-7 workday expedited option is offered at checkout.
Key features
- Flip to track
- The cube tracks time for whichever of its 12 sides faces up. A double tap pauses it, and a side can be set as the pause side.
- Offline tracking
- The device stores its own data and the vendor says it can run about 40 days without opening the app, then syncs over Bluetooth.
- Tasks, billing rates and timers
- Tasks get a name, icon, color, project or client tag, a billable rate and a direct or Pomodoro timer mode.
- Mobile and web apps
- iOS and Android apps set up the cube and show statistics; the web app visualizes, edits and exports time data to XLS or CSV.
- Calendar connections
- Time logs can be sent to Google Calendar, iCal, Outlook or other online calendars through a subscription link.
- Open API
- An API returns time entries for your tasks, and the cube's Bluetooth protocol is open for custom uses.
