Why Write About Tyme?

Our users love the product. We often hear them say, "I love Tyme!" "This app is one of my favorites!" or "Time tracking that's almost fun." We think your readers will love it, too.

Tyme is an app that we indie developers have been passionately developing for years, focusing on a unique and functional design and aiming to make the necessaryy but annoying task of time tracking simply more enjoyable.

Born in the Apple ecosystem, where high design standards are the norm anyway, our users also enjoy top-notch features, continuous development—often based on feedback from the Tyme community—and a personal, direct line to the development team.

Description of the App

Tyme

Popular Time Tracking for Teams, Freelancers, and the Self-Employed

With a clear focus on design and aesthetics, Tyme stands apart from the crowd of time tracking apps. The goal is to make the tedious daily time tracking process more pleasant for you and your team. It is GDPR-compliant and legally sound.

Tyme has been actively developed for over 10 years and is trusted by more than 50,000 users in design, architecture, IT, marketing, legal consulting, and many other fields.

Its unique color-coding system runs throughout the interface, from the project list to time entries, statistics, and timers. This feature provides a more tangible overview of project status, budgets, deadlines, and workload, and an emotional connection to the raw numbers. Tyme is always in sync across all your devices.

Create projects, assign tasks, keep budgets in view, and track hours — all in real time. Handy reminders for starting your timer, ending your workday, or taking a lunch break, plus a wide range of additional features and integrations with other apps, make Tyme unique.

Tyme is continuously developed, and support comes straight from the developer team. Apple has featured the app multiple times in categories such as "Be a Better Freelancer," "Elevate Your Time Management," and "Apps We Love Right Now."

What makes Tyme unique?

You Do the Work, Tyme Keeps Track

  • "Beautiful Time Tracking" –that's how Apple once described Tyme in a feature article. Its clear interface is a joy to use, and thanks to its consistent color coding, it instantly gives you a sense of your projects, team, and workload.
  • Popular among designers, architects, and many others. If you care about great design in your own work, you won't want to open ugly software.
  • Always with you. On Mac, iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, synced automatically.
  • Start the timer based on your location. On the iPhone, Tyme automatically starts the timer via geofencing as soon as you arrive at work. No manual clicks, no forgetting!
  • No interruptions. Start a timer from the menu bar or with a keyboard shortcut, without leaving your current app.
  • Times in your calendar. Entries appear directly in your calendar, can be edited there, and sync back to Tyme.
  • Reminders that actually help. Forgotten timer, upcoming deadline, overdue break: Tyme has you covered.
  • Legally compliant documentation. Tyme exports timesheets and project reports with working hours and breaks as PDFs – compliant with occupational safety laws in DACH.
  • Connect Tyme with your tools: Tyme integrates with over 20 apps. Including Lexware Office, sevdesk, WISO MeinBüro, and Billomat for invoicing and accounting.
  • Automate your processes with the API, AppleScript, Apple Shortcuts, or no-code tools like n8n and Zapier.
  • Switching to Tyme? Bring your data! Tyme has importers for Toggl, Clockify, Harvest, and more.
  • Tyme Web in progress. The cross-platform web version of Tyme is already in beta and is actively being developed.
  • Prompt support directly from the developer team.

A Look at Customer Feedback

What Our Customers Are Saying About Tyme

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ „Brilliant! I've tried numerous time-keeping apps for my freelance business. They were either too simple, overly complex, too expensive or just plain ugly. Tyme's UI is beautiful and its UX is brilliant. I can finally stop looking for time-keeping apps now." By Atomic Cherry

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ „Impressive app! I use this app from 2017 and it's better and better with great support from the authors of the app." By JOFatorek

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ „It's fun to work with! We've been using Tyme since 2016 and as a team since 2017. What started as a small, affordable, visually appealing solution has become an integral part of our workflow and has grown tremendously. It's especially worth noting that suggestions and improvement ideas were implemented relatively quickly throughout, making the app better and better. Big kudos and thank you!" By Poldie

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ „The best app I've ever had! It's a bit like with Apple – an iPhone, MacBook, or iPad are "just" tools. But you love using them and everything works so effortlessly that you simply get more done than before. Exactly the same is possible with this app. It's actually fun to track time and log your work steps. Even the design is really great. I'm usually not a fan of subscriptions, but this is an exception. I'm happy to pay because I know the money makes the app even better. Thanks for the app and such a reliable helper. I'd be lost without it!" By NioMilano

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ „Indispensable! With Tyme, I've found a simple tool that lets me easily track all those little "just do it quickly" jobs. It's incredible how much time adds up over a quarter. The clean reports help me present and bill these hours transparently to my clients. The developers keep coming up with things I didn't even know I was missing but then happily use :-D" By LevinMason

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ „As a freelancer, I tried several solutions before landing on Tyme, and I've been using it for over two years now. Everything works smoothly, useful features are constantly added, and bugs are fixed quickly. I use it on my MacBook and iPad. Looking forward to the new widgets for Sonoma :) Great work, devs!" By Deli168

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ „Awesome! Finally a tool that lets me as a freelancer flexibly log time across different client projects and keep track of how much I spend internally. The sync between iPhone and Mac works flawlessly, and with every update, new features and improvements are added. That's exactly what you expect from a subscription!" By teK_one
