Timelines
Visual time tracking for iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch
What is Timelines?
Timelines is a personal time tracker for Apple devices, built by an independent developer in Prague. Each project or area of life gets its own timeline, timers record what you are doing, and the result is drawn as colored blocks on a timeline that zooms from a single day out to months. A statistics mode, goals, widgets and an Apple Watch app sit around that view, and the free version is limited to three categories.
Timelines has a free plan. Paid plans start at $39.99 per year, or $7.99 per month. See every plan
Good for
- People who want to see a day or week as colored blocks on a timeline
- Apple Watch users who start and stop timers from the wrist
- Tracking personal time and habits rather than client billing
Worth knowing
- The free version tracks up to 3 categories; sync, goals, the bar chart, subcategories and Apple Health import need Timelines PRO.
- It runs only on Apple devices: iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and Vision Pro. An Android version is offered only as a waitlist.
- There is no native Mac app; the press kit says the app can be used on Macs with Apple silicon and that a native one is planned.
- It is built as a personal tracker, and the vendor's pages describe no team accounts or invoicing.
Key features
- Interactive timeline
- Tracked events appear as colored markers on a timeline you pan and pinch, from hours up to weeks and months. Any set of timelines can be shown or hidden to focus on one area.
- Timers and editable entries
- Timers start and stop from the app, a widget or the watch. Events can be added afterwards, given a name and notes, and have their start and end times corrected.
- Statistics and exports
- One tap turns the visible interval into a pie chart with a time summary per category. PRO adds a bar chart of trends over time and detailed PDF and CSV exports.
- Goals
- Daily, weekly or monthly time targets can be set per category, such as 20 minutes of language practice a day, with progress tracking and periodic reports. Goals are part of PRO.
- Apple Watch app
- Timers are controlled from the wrist, with watch face complications, dictation for event names and the digital crown for correcting times. It works without a phone connection.
- Widgets, Shortcuts and Health import
- Home and Lock Screen widgets and a Live Activity show goals, charts and the running timer. Siri Shortcuts automate timers, and PRO imports workouts, sleep and meditation from Apple Health.
