About this app

Most projects don’t fail.
They fade.

You stop working on them for a few days.
Then a few weeks.
Then the idea that once excited you quietly disappears.

Project Time Machines is built to stop that.

It turns every focused work session into measurable progress on a real project — so momentum compounds instead of vanishing.

No bloated productivity system.
No endless task management.
Just log a focused work session. Move forward. Repeat.

HOW IT WORKS

• Create a Project
• Start an Op (focused work session)
• Track real time spent moving it forward
• Watch your progress compound

PTM is built for:

• Writers finishing books
• Founders delivering products
• Creators building consistently
• Students completing long-term work
• Anyone tired of starting over

If you have a project that matters, PTM helps you keep it moving.

PTM is evolving. Early users will get priority access to upcoming Pro features designed to make long-term projects even easier to complete.

I really like this! I use apps like Habitica to help me keep track of my goals with no problems, but this app is alot more detailed on the 'time spent' aspect. Having it 'actually' tracking the total time spend on my projects, PLUS, having the ability to add in notes and grade your "Ops" is surprisingly helpful and motivating! I'll definitely be using this alot.

Very well made, and I just love the look. Sometimes the aesthetic alone can make an app. My little tweeks I'd make: (1) sometimes it would be easier to run an op with an open ended end time, like a stop watch instead of a pre-set timer. I would prefer that then constantly going into overtime (which is also fine) (2) if I miss the timer ending because I'm absorbed in my work, it shouldn't go into lost time. It should just end, or go into OT, or even ask you which when you get back to the app

Thanks for the review, Michael! Regarding (2), this is something I've thought a lot about. I send the time into Lost Time because typically the timer ends without a response because I've wandered away, as opposed to being absorbed in work. I think a good solution will be to allow total editing of all timers after a recorded Op. Working on it!

This is incredible, genuinely. Amazing app design and very useful, you don't see many apps like this that just keep to their purpose and pull it off without trying to push anything else onto you. I already keep track of my time spent and journal my goals and progress, but now I can say goodbye to using my notes app and my stopwatch! You can use overtime as a stopwatch in this app, would be cool to have it as a feature, but overtime works fine, so I can't complain. Totally recommend the app!
