OP here. I just released version 1.2 which is based on the feedback in this thread. It brings better scaling of fonts and the chart, which leads to better support for smaller devices. Also included are fixes to the widget and live activity

That sounds interesting and worth a look. Although my experience with such cross platform bindings is that they tend to be leaky especially around system-dependent things like alarms and connectivity. But I’ll give it a try when I have a fe

Fonts and scaling are fixed with 1.2 released now. Live badge is gone too. I didn’t touch the colours for now.

Great, yes, feel free. I just noticed that one screen is missing on the website: the one for logging a past session (positive, when you forgot to start the timer, and negative when you forgot to stop it). I’ll add that tonight on the websit

Yes, it’s the first big image below the intro text on the website. You may need to wait a moment for it to auto-play. It is a self-served video file, no YT embed.

The app is made in Swift and relies heavily on Watch Connectivity and AlarmKit (among others when you take the widgets and Live Activity into account, which may be omitted). I assume, none of those maps obviously to Android SDKs. And in my

Thank you! Android: not yet, and not from me. But stay tuned; given the interest this saw today, I hope someone with Android skills (that I'm lacking) will jump in.

Thanks for asking! I do agree that would be useful, but haven't looked into how sync could possibly work while keeping my claims and principles of "fully local" up. I will definitely look into it.

I will definitely look into these improvements, especially the fonts and the "live" badge. For the colors, I'm unsure; I played around a lot with those already and quite used to them by now, but who knows. Thank you for your

Yay, someone mentioned the name. As a non-native speaker, I wasn't sure whether the ambiguity really works - glad to hear it does, at least for one other person. Actually, there is no limit on how much you allocate, even 25h works (yes

Makes sense, thank you for taking the time to describe it. I will consider adding something that covers this need.

Thank you! There is no such feature currently. The way I use it is that I simply ignore it on weekends. What behaviour would you expect from a weekend mode?

Thank you for sharing your experience. I kept OwnTime strictly separate from todos. There are so many great apps for that. I would consider linking priorities into external todo apps, e.g. if it would be possible to deep link into a certain

Thank you for taking the time and posting this. This is not an extremely improbable direction. I will consider it.

That's the attitude. :-) Thank you! Btw, good luck with Fable working with Watch Connectivity and AlarmKit. I mean, it does try hard. ;-)

Thank you. I know, and I didn't need a Pomodoro timer. What Pomodoro doesn't show you and is at the heart of this app: the things you neglect, front and center, not in the shape of todos (and bad feelings) but it the shape of your

Thanks! I hear you. Not in love with those particular colors either. I need (a) 5 light + 5 dark colors (b) that are pairwise discernible when next to each other and (c) don't get confused immediately with Apple's Activity rings.

Thank you! I appreciate it! Yes, some type of regular notification similar to the one-time wrap-up notification is something I would definetely consider. This overlaps with the Pomodoro-type of apps, which is why it wasn't top priority

I don't mind at all. The video already on the website shows the main screen with interactions over time. The only other screen (except for the basic info screen with links) is the "edit" dialog on the second static screenshot

Thank you for your questions! "Still yours" shows the total time available over all priorities. The different ring segments represent the time allocated (available=light and used=dark) of each priority in the color you assigned to

Unfortunately, I have no such plans and no OwnTime for that ;) I guess, if there is interest, it will be possible to use the website as a guidance for whoever or whatever may implement an Android version. I’d feel honored.

Could you explain your use case? When do you prefer counting up over counting down and why? You could set up a priority with the minimum budget (15m) and log everything as "over work". Of course, that will lack visibility in the c
