Features
A time tracker you will actually keep using
Timers only work if you remember to press start. SelfM comes to you instead — and turns a few taps a day into a clear picture of your life.
Track from your lock screen
Every few minutes SelfM asks “What have you been up to?” when you unlock your phone. Tap an activity and you are done — no app to open, no timer to forget.
See where your time goes
Daily, weekly and monthly statistics as bar charts, pie charts and timelines, grouped by activity or by type.
Unlimited activities
Create as many activities and categories as you need, each with its own name, colour and icon.
Goals and limits
Set a daily goal for good habits (study, sport) and a daily limit for time-wasters (social media, games).
Works offline
No account and no internet needed. Your log is stored on your phone, so it works anywhere.
Export to CSV
Export your history as a CSV file to analyse it in Excel or Google Sheets, bill clients or share with your team.
