Hours is the time tracker you will actually use.
"The Perfect iPhone Time Tracking App" - Forbes
"Surprisingly pleasant to use…well-thought-out interface" - TechCrunch
“The world’s easiest way of tracking your time.” - 9to5 Mac
Best New Apps - Apple
With a visual timeline, smart reminders, detailed reporting, and an interface crafted by Tapity’s Apple Design Award winning team, Hours turns a tedious process into — dare we say — an enjoyable one.
Time tracking seems like it should be easy…and it would be, if we were all robots. Unfortunately, humans tend to have problems with
1. Forgetting to track your time in the first place
2. Forgetting to note when you change tasks
3. Forgetting to stop a timer after you start one
So Hours lets you:
• Set smart reminders to nag you at just the right times to start and stop your timers
• Start/stop/switch timers with one tap (even from the lock screen with the iOS 8 widget)
• Use the visual timeline to easily identify and correct mistakes
• Set rounding rules to round time to whatever interval you are used to — 6 minutes, 15 minutes, and more
• Quickly see on a calendar view which days you tracked time and which days you forgot
• Track your time by clients, projects, and tasks if you need to
• Add notes to your time entries
• View on-screen reports in the app, or email detailed CSV or PDF reports
[NEW] Hours on the Apple Watch makes switching timers as simple as a glance and a tap, making the Apple Watch the most convenient way to track your time, ever. Other watch features include:
• Adjust start and end times in case you started or ended too late
• Add notes to your time entries with your voice or from a customized suggestions list
• Check a “glance" to see the running timer and to provide quick access to the app
• Get notifications to remind you when you need to start and stop your timers

Unannounced change
Leo the Insane
After purchasing it was free for personal use for years, but they just switched to a subscription service with no warning. Convenient for tracking personal project hours, but not worth the money for something I can just write down. I can log the start and end times in the notes app. I do wish there had been some sort of forewarning because all the hours I had logged have been deleted and I have to guess approximately how many hours I’d logged, which really stinks. Going forward I’ll just write my time in manually.
Was great, now not so much

I’m searching for a new time tracking app after this latest update that forces you to subscribe for basic features that were free. It’s $30 for the year which is really expensive for an app and even more for the Pro features. Too bad bc it was perfect before and I loved using it.
No Stars - Difficult to Navigate

I installed the app to track my time through out the day. When I first opened the app, I wanted to add that I woke up at 9:07AM. So, I set a time slot for wake up time at 9:07AM. (It was currently 10:40AM). So, the app automatically setup a 1 hour and 40min window for waking up. When I tried to adjust the wake up time; I had to use a 2nd time slot for what I was doing from 9:07AM until 10:40AM. That was difficult to do. During the process of trying to figure out how to add another time slot; I realized that you only get THREE FREE TIME SLOTS and you have to PURCHASE additional time slots! How can you test the app with only three free time slots? The app also signed me up as part of a TEAM when I had selected tracking time for individual productivity. Then, somewhere in-between uninstalling and reinstalling-the app; ( I had uninstalled then reinstalled in order to rate the app), it said that my password was incorrect and I needed to create a new password....it was a big mess from there and I have now WASTED more than 2HOURS trying to add a productivity app that did not work!!!??
Paid/upgraded version laggy, buggy, and crashes

Was a four star until the forced me to upgrade to the paid version. Now it’s buggy, laggy, and crashes. Looks like I am paying to beta test. I keep waiting for it to get fixed, but nothing.
Was good. Until...

App was useful in its free, limited form for what I needed. After about a year of using it frequently to track hours, it’s now going completely subscription-based and all of my prior info has been completely erased. Not the right way at all to get users to become subscribers. Will find another app.
Subscription is overpriced

I liked this app because I tend to switch tasks at work all the time and the easy setup of new tasks and tap on off was very convenient. Then they made us make an account. Annoying. Who wants an extra account to keep track of? And now they want $80 a year just to be able to switch between more than 3 tasks???? That’s crazy. I really liked this app, maybe even enough to pay $10 for a Pro version or something, but there is no way in hell I am doing an $80 subscription. My old way of manual tracking was good enough. Really disappointing that the developers went this route.
No longer a free option?

I was finding Hours to be useful in tracking my work hours as a consultant. The app auto updated and now it seems I can’t use it without creating an account and purchasing a subscription. No need to take up the space on my phone any more- delete.
Not free

I really like the app. I get that this is a business. But it is misleading to say that this is free, now. Because when I go to edit a timer (I misspelled the name - I added it before I was done), it tells me I can’t edit it without a subscription! Again, I get that it takes time and money to create and maintain this app. I appreciate that and am willing to pay for that - an appropriate amount. A small, flat fee for basic options would be appropriate if making the basic options free is not an option. Or only three timers are free. But don’t prohibit users from editing the name and say that this is free. I am going to have to find another option, I’m afraid. I wish you the best of luck.
Now a subscription???

I bought this app years ago because it was featured in the App Store. It was a disappointment then but after learning the non-intuitive interface it worked well enough I didn’t want to switch as I only use it twice a year to track freelance projects. Tonight I fired it up to - you guessed it - track some work and instead I got an on boarding screen for new users and no way to get in without creating an account. I’d at least like my old data, so I wasted time creating a login and signing up for a trial to get to it. What a horrible user experience for an app that ostensibly exists to aid productivity! As I said, the app was never more than OK, so I guess this was the excuse I needed to find something better. ☹️ Save your money, and more importantly your time.
