Timers that write the log for you
Run a stopwatch or Pomodoro on the Timer tab. When the session ends, bridge it straight into your timeline — no filling the grid by hand.

It's not about counting hours.
It's about never wondering where they went.
Product
Built to stay out of your way.
Automatic where it can be, fast where you need control.
Logging in seconds, not minutes
Quick picks, category keywords, and reusable day templates turn repeat entries into a tap. Bulk tools help you fix a whole week at once.
A timeline you can trust
Fifteen-minute blocks with a boundary countdown keep the day honest. You log as you go instead of reconstructing Friday from memory.
Weekly reports built in
Category breakdowns, bar charts, and focus totals show where hours piled up — no spreadsheet required. Export CSV when you need it.
Try it on your own week — see where your time goes from the first day.
Start freeHow it works
Three steps. Repeat every week.
A loop short enough to keep, valuable enough to notice.
Step 1
Log as you go
Start a timer for deep work, tap a quick pick between meetings, or fill a slot when the boundary countdown hits zero.
Step 2
Review on Friday
Your week grouped by category surfaces the biggest drains instantly — focused hours, context switches, and empty slots included.
Step 3
Adjust on Monday
One concrete change before the next week starts: protect a morning block, cut a recurring meeting, or raise your focus goal.
FAQ
Common questions
Straight answers before you sign up.
Isn't logging every 15 minutes annoying?
Most of the time, you won't be logging by hand. Start a stopwatch or Pomodoro on the Timer tab and Academbly bridges the session into your timeline when you're done — the grid fills itself while you work.
When you do log manually, quick picks, category keywords, and reusable day templates cut it to a tap or two. A boundary countdown nudges you at each slot edge so you never reconstruct the day from memory.
Will I actually stick with it?
The loop is deliberately small: log during the week, review your report on Friday, make one adjustment on Monday. No dashboards to maintain or charts to configure.
Streak tracking and daily focus goals add lightweight accountability. Most people find week one eye-opening enough to continue — because the report surfaces drains they couldn't see before.
Is it worth the effort?
Recover even 3–5 focused hours per week and the return is immediate. Category breakdowns show exactly where time leaked — meetings that ran long, context switches, unfilled slots.
One small change (a protected morning block, fewer syncs, a Pomodoro for deep work) often pays back the logging effort in days, and compounds every week you review.
