Tips and tricks
• The main screen of the app contains the activities that you created.
• The Skills menu item allows you to manage skills (create, view, edit, delete).
• The Categories menu item allows you to manage categories (create, view, edit, delete).
• The Trends menu item displays some neat charts.
• The Store menu item allows you to manage products / rewards (create, view, edit, delete).
• The Transactions menu item shows the expense / income coin transactions.
• There is one category created by default: General. You can edit it, and you can add more categories by pressing on the + button when on Categories page.
• Icons for skills, categories, and products are mandatory.
• You can add activity only when you have at least one skill defined.
• Store is for user-defined rewards (see explanation below).

Store
The use of the store is completely optional. The main aim of it, is to allow the user to define some rewards for time spent developing a skill.

Examples:
• Gaming - you can purchase an hour of gaming using X coins that you got from developing a skill.
• TV Shows- you can purchase an episode of TV Shows using X coins that you got from developing a skill.
The idea is to allow you to define rewards for your time spent developing useful skills.

More icon packs will be added in the future.
More gamification features are going to be added in the future (feel free to suggest them).

The free version allows you to have a maximum of 7 skills at a time, everything else is not restricted.

Ratings and reviews

A fantastic application I have been using this since 2018, keeping track of every second I've spent. It does a good job of helping me quantize my day and accomplish more productive stuff. I really really wish it was still being updated, as it's extremely basic. I want more graphs and better summaries of larger spans of time. If I want to see how I've spent a year, I have to manually add every minute from every skill. I also wish I could access my save data and adapt it to my own program.

Best one in it's class. All other skill trackers pale in comparison. This one is straight forward. Amazing data. This app has all the assets you'd need to build a self-sustained activity-reward system to track skill progression over time. It's the app I wish I made. I tried 10,000 hours and a few others in it's class, but this was my favorite by a mile. No ads either. Free, but I bought the upgrade (easily worth the cost. I would pay 3x the amount).

I've been using this app to track hours for 4 years now, it's terrific in that it focuses on the quantity (in time spent) rather than frequency (alot of other apps use daily checkins as a measure) which to me is extremely helpful in that I can get a better gage for my practicing progress and see the difference between spending 10min or 2hrs... My only complaint, as echoed by other reviews is that the backup system cannot be trusted, it's devastating to loose data after years of tracking.
