Everybody has his own demand on tracking time, but most people can't persist on it for long time because the traditional time-tracking App is way too professional, and it costs too much energy to use a stopwatch.

BlockyTime is very different from traditional time-tracking App, it never needs to tap "Start/Stop". Months of research of users experience made us to work out a better tracking method which is more suitable for people's thinking. No worries to forget to start or stop stopwatch, just take a few seconds in leisure time, like playing game, select, tap, a whole day is tracked.

When tracking time no longer has pressure but becomes relaxing, it solves the persistence problem easily. Even people don't has huge perseverance can be good at time management.

[Q & A]
Q: Why named "BlockyTime"?
A: Though time is continuous, for rapid tracking, we separate time into blocks by half an hour at the expense of accuracy. This period not only meets the need of statistics, but also is convenient for people to remember event.

Q: Why make 30 minutes a block? This is not accurate.
A: Statistics is meaningful only when people persist for a long time. Look at statistics in week or month, 30 minutes a blocks hardly make negative effects on analysis. Compared to spending more energy to make it accurate, track time quicker, take advantage of saved time on other things makes it better.

Q: I have OCD, inaccuracy makes me uncomfortable.
A: Just stand back and think about it, if you pursue the accuracy, after every time of record, should you add an event called "Tracking time"? Then it takes some time to track this one, so you have to record again, and then, endless loop…

Never spend much time on tracking time, this is truly using time effectively.

The best app 🥰🥰 + minor design feedback

Hey Anni, this app is the best app I came across after downloading & testing 10+ apps! You are an amazing designer and hope you keep building an intuitive app like this! Couple minor design feedback 1) add am/pm distinction in 12/24 hours timeline. this distinction (1am/1pm) makes it easier to spot. Or anything that indicates day/night 🌝🌚🌞🌛?. 2) customise time block range (ie waking up hours 7am-11pm or working hours 9am-6pm) I saw this feature in snapshot activity log and this is brilliant. not everyone uses this for sleep tracking, so not all 24 hour blocks (current default) is needed. Since everyone has different working hour/waking hours, one suggestion is to provide two dropdown for start hour & end hour for time block range. Thanks again for building an amazing app! If you ever visit Singapore, let me know! Would love to get you a cupcake 🥰🥰

Simple but elegant

I couldn’t find another app that can help me to establish an overview of time utilization with such little effort. No need to care about start/stop, billable hours nor team sharing etc. which are advance features not so relevant to personal time tracking. But there are smart flexible designs that suitable for my daily life scenarios, like linked objects and stamp.
If there is one feature I could wish for, that will be multi platform. I understand it requires too much efforts to deal with syncing and different platforms for Ni herself, but I just hope one day maybe the wish will come true.

Nice

Love that we can add custom events. Would be great if event objects were emoji supported too though. Also, I would like to be able to make the default statistic view to something like “last 7 days” instead of just “this week” or “this month” cause it’s usually not an accurate measurement.
