Research Existing Time-Focussed Apple Watch Apps #3

Open nelsonic opened 7 years ago

nelsonic commented 7 years ago

@sohilpandya yesterday you sent us a link to the "Hours" time tracking app: https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/hours-time-tracking/id895933956

This is a really good starting point for our research. I am actively using the app on my phone today to test it. I've opened an issue specific to this app: #5 (to capture all the detail)

Which other apps should we be looking at? (list please)

List of Apple Watch Time-Focussed Apps we are trying/reviewing:

[x] Hours: #5

There are quite a few Time tracking tools out there, but these are the ones that have an accompanying apple watch app.

[x] Timely (free) https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/timely-simple-time-tracking/id619462420?mt=8
[ ] Tyme 2 (£3.99) https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/tyme-2/id1063998403?mt=8
[ ] ATracker (free/InAppPurchases) https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/atracker-daily-task-time-tracking/id522008611?mt=8
Probably worth mentioning the default timer app too, although it doesn't have the tracking features, it's probably the easiest and fastest timer out on the watch.

I've also downloaded Tick which I'll be trying later this week.

[ ] Tick (free for 1 project, monthly subscription for more): https://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=301202863&mt=8

So far, Timely look the most promising from a cursory UX perspective and is next on my hitlist.

Just been told of Toggl:

@sohilpandya yeah, @harrygfox uses Toggl ... might be worth picking his brains on it. 😉

sohilpandya commented 7 years ago

Having downloaded and set it up on the laptop yesterday, I went on to download the app for the phone which doesn't have the same option of signing in with google as the online version! (+ no apple watch app)

I have to say not a great start for Toggl.

Hey friendos @sohilpandya @nelsonic @iteles I've been using this app, Be Focused: https://xwavesoft.com/be-focused-pro-for-iphone-ipad-mac-os-x.html I'm finding the pomodoro style time-break function suuuuuuuper useful. I think it's well worth a look at how they arrange the to-do list. You can do pomodoros on a specific task and it tracks the number.

Just found this as a new release on the MacOS http://www.fohkuhs.com/
