Track your time. Build better habits. See where your days actually go.
Timely is a beautiful, distraction-free activity timer designed for people who want to understand how they spend their time — without syncing to the cloud, signing up for an account, or being shown ads. Everything stays on your device, private and offline, forever.
Tap an activity. Hit start. That's it.
— WHAT MAKES TIMELY DIFFERENT —
◆ Mechanical split-flap display
A stunning flip-board timer inspired by classic airport departure boards. Satisfying to watch, impossible to miss.
◆ Multiple activities, one tap away
Create colour-coded activities for anything — Deep Work, Reading, Exercise, Side Project. Switch between them instantly.
◆ Weekly bar chart with history
See your time broken down day by day. Navigate back through previous weeks. Tap any bar to see individual sessions with start times and durations.
◆ Live session awareness
While the timer runs, your activity card shows a live preview of the time building up in real time — even from the notification shade.
◆ Persistent notification
A quiet, ongoing notification shows your active activity and elapsed time. Keep tracking even when the app is in the background or you swipe it away.
◆ Streaks and consistency tracking
See how many days in a row you've kept up an activity. Cards glow brighter when you've already worked on something today — and fade when it's been a few days.
◆ Quick-add buttons
Forgot to start the timer? Add time retroactively in one tap: +5m, +15m, +30m, or +1h. Then hit start as normal — Timely handles the rest.
◆ 100% offline, no account needed
No sign-up. No subscription. No cloud. Your data never leaves your device. Uninstall and it's gone — no data retained anywhere.
◆ No ads. Ever.
