Personal Time Tracker
A personal time tracker for your own day
A personal time tracker is for you, not for a manager or a client: you want to know where your own day goes — work, study, reading, exercise. TickTappy keeps it to one tap. Make a colored circle for each activity, tap it when you start and again when you stop. There is no account and no email, and your entries stay on your device, in your browser or in the iPhone app. Premium adds only cloud sync and backup.
Free; Premium (cloud sync and backup) $9.99/year or $29.99 once
iPhone, iPad, Mac (Apple silicon), Apple Watch, web, Chrome extension; not on Google Play yet

FAQ
What is the best time tracker for personal use?
One you will keep using, which usually means no setup: no projects, no clients, no account. TickTappy is built for that — tap a circle to start, tap it again to stop, and the week summary shows where the time went. ATracker and aTimeLogger are other personal-use trackers on iPhone.
Can I track how I spend my time without an account?
Yes. TickTappy needs no account, email or password, and your entries are stored on the device you track on. An account is only needed for Premium cloud sync and backup ($9.99/year or $29.99 once).
Is TickTappy free for personal use?
Yes, and it is not a trial. Tracking, tags, day and week summaries, Home Screen widgets and the Apple Watch app are free. Premium adds only cloud sync and backup across devices.
