I don't really get excited too easily, but this has me really excited -- it looks like the time tracking app I've been wanting for years.
Eternity Time Log is an iOS app (iPhone, iPad) that lets you track time easily.
Why do I like it?
Setup takes like 5 minutes to figure out, to create a bunch of different hierarchical categories. So I can add "blog" and "TSR" under writing, and when I track time on either of those, it both adds up to writing time... and then it takes only a single button to start and stop --
You can manually adjust start times and end times -- good, since at the end of the gym yesterday, I forgot to hit "stop" -- so I just adjusted the ending time to end after about an hour.
Then, you can see how your whole day went that you tracked. Here's yesterday for me --
And finally, there's some good reporting --
It's free, too. You can pay for some syncing features with in-app purchases, but if you just want an 80/20 way to know how much time is passing that's fun and easy, this app seems great.
I've been doing time-tracking by hand for years. Nothing was good enough to replace it for me. This... just might be. If you try it, let me know. I'm really excited about this one.
