aTimeLogger Daily Time Tracker 4+

I use this app via the subscription so I can sync to the Mac app, iPad, and iPhone.

Other than not really getting the purpose of calendar integration for my needs and the reports for me need to be custom each time, I find the app very functional and worth the subscription. I tried to avoid the subscription for a while, but in this case I'm finding value.

I like how it supports URL schemes to start and stop timers. I can embed these in my calendar and OmniFocus to have quick access to start and stop an activity. Along with Shortcuts, I can have my exercise todo start the sport timer and launch into my Fitness Blender calendar to start casting my exercise video to the TV.

I can track my volunteer hours under the type Volunteer and see the sub-types of scouting, school, and other. I can export to CSV for a yearly report of hours and mileage.

I'm able to track time for my Work jira tasks by using tags for each task based on the jira ticket.

Editing the tasks are simple and I often need to do this if I forget to stop the timer. The app will also warn me if there are conflicts with overlapping events. It is also handy to add another time interval to an event then to create a new one a categorize it the same.

The sync is fairly fast and transparent, so I can start a timer on the Mac and stop on the iPhone.

I’ve used this app, and the previous version, for nearly a decade for both work and personal matters. Having the ability to quickly recall an event, transaction, or project is worth its weight in gold…

- Keeping track of work & house project hours
- How long until I (or my kids) need to take another dose of medication (Setting a time limit with GOALS feature to show as Overtime)
- (When they were younger) How long my kids had been down for a nap
- Filtering the “logbook” also offers users a detailed logbook of item

…and the list continues to evolve.

Speaking of evolution, the technical support is also top-notch. Within two weeks of upgrading to the Pro version I noticed a detail of the GOALS feature had changed from the previous version. I simply reached out within the app and the developer replied that same day with ZERO pushback (rather he appreciated the feedback)… AND the app was updated in less than two weeks!

I’ve used this app for years. I can sometimes have multiple timesheets I need to fill in for work, and it’s so much easier with this app, especially when I switch back and forth between several projects in a day! I sometimes forget to stop one clock and start another, but it’s easy to go back and adjust times, fix activity types, or add comments. I would much rather correct this a hour later and then rely on the clocked times at the end of the day than try to figure it all out from memory. I also use this to export detailed reports of time spent on training for certification continuing education credits. I usually take self-paced courses over the span of weeks. At first, I didn’t expect to have to provide a report on time spent per day, and there would have been no way I could have remembered all that, but I didn’t have to!
