About Time Balance - Personal Timer
Time Balance is a personal-oriented time tracker that can help you to make a better use of your day by controlling the duration of common activities like exercises, study, work, commutes, sleep, time with family etc.
By means of an efficient timer mechanism, Time Balance lets you start and stop activities easily and visualize your time allocation in a graphical report. And if you find yourself dedicating too little or too much time for an activity, you can set duration limits and let Time Balance warn you when your cross them.
Features:
★ Includes activity timers which can run exclusively or in parallel. Timers work even when the app is not running and consume almost no battery (in fact they work even if phone is off).
★ Running activities are shown in the notification area, from where you can quickly access your activity list.
★ You can specify in which days of the week each activity is done, keeping your daily list clean and focused.
★ A notification is triggered if an activity reaches the maximum duration defined or if you have not spent the minimum duration desired.
★ Each activity can have a reminder shown at a specific time of each day it is supposed to be done.
★ Activities can be grouped in categories like Family, Work, Health etc for better organization and statistics.
★ Activities can be chained (an activity can automatically start another when finished).
★ Time Balance can play audio cues while specific activities run, using simple beeps or the text-to-speech engine. You can also set them to vibrate for silent reminders.
★ You can give a rating for each activity performed, and see its quality evolution over time as a chart.
★ You can jump to specific dates or simply move backwards and see the exact time spent for each activity and any limits crossed in the past.
★ It is possible to manually adjust any duration, including past dates, and transfer time between activities.
★ A graphical summary shows how your time is being allocated, including average, minimum and maximum daily duration for each activity, and total time spent in the last week, month and year (by category and activity).
★ It is possible to change, start and stop activities from the home screen using a widget. A lock screen widget is also available for Android 4.2 and later.
★ All entries can be exported to CSV files and manipulated in desktop apps like Microsoft Excel.
★ Tasker plugin: allows activities to be started and stopped automatically based on events (ie. start "Work" activity when the phone connects to the company's network, "Commute" when it enters car mode, "Exercises" when you are at the gym etc). Time Balance can also start Tasker tasks when an activity is started/stopped.
★ Google Fit integration (experimental): Allows exporting and importing activites to/from Google Fit automatically.
★ Companion apps for Android Wear and Pebble smartwatches: allows you to start, stop and adjust activities right from your wrist.

Very good idea and use interface. However the Activites of the same Cathegory does not sum up in the overview! Instead you have min, max and avg.? You would really want to sum upp time of the activities in one category. Otherwise the "time remaining" does not even make sense there. Fix this and it will be a really great app.

Keeps track of my time and easy to use. But min/max settings don't function and no daily totals. I would like timer to turn on a programmed task time for min and off at max time. Lots of other good features

With this type of app you need to have as much integration as possible. Pebble, Tasker is a great start. Unfortunately, it seems to be proprietary software, so I'll pass for now.

I wanted to keep track of how long I was spending on various different activities, and I tried several apps. Others were some combination of buggy, difficult to use, or aesthetically incompatible with my tastes. This app has a convenient interface and works consistently, with only occasional lag. And as a bonus, I just learned from the review below that I can run multiple timers! I also like that I can look at stats for a week or month but wish I had more info/flexibility with the views.

I thought it could only track one habit at a time, but the creator corrected me (see response below). Now if I walk (exercise) and conduct a coaching session (work) I get to record both simultaniously rather than only chosing one or the other.

The posts and ratings and video made it seem like the best thing. If there was a tour to take you through how to add tasks that would help as it would save time playing around to figure it out. Also there aren't many options for icons. Thank you for telling me how to run tasks simultaneously it would be good if this was included in the tour. I cannot change the colour of the icons. If it was easier to operate that would make it better.Disappointed:/.How do I get my money back? I already emailed ages ago.

Very well thought out. Love how well it syncs with Pebble. My only suggestion would be for different analytics. On the graph I'd rather see how I did on each day of week vs the average.

I like the Tasker integration (I have it start a timer when I open my language learning app and stop the timer when I close it), but I wish it would show my day's progress in Android 5.1's notification pull-down bar. It would also be nice if it supported subtasks.

Great app, thanks! I would like to see 1. Subactivities. 2. In the report to be able to start from particular date and not only from now (and see daily / weekly / monthly average for this period). 3. In the grid view mode to keep the order of activities all the time - do not move active activity to the top-left.

I've only been using this app for about two weeks, but it has already helped me realize where I'm wasting time and also keeps me focused when at work. Missing a star because of bug where sometimes I click an activity and it opens edit activity instead of starting the timer.

The app is nice, however after I stop an activity it takes a while to stop and the duration is not accurate I keep editing duration from activity to another, usually decrease. Sony Xperia Z3 user.

This has helped me have a more realistic view of how I spend my time and to see how it differs from my perception. It has also helped me set goals to increase or reduce my time in certain area based on real data and what I want from life. The developers were responsive when I had a question. Timely too! I would love to see percentage breakdowns and trends to compare over time and between categories.

Looked at and tried a few time tracking apps and stopped at this one, it works just how I want it to. Simple UI, the only thing it doesn't have that I would like to see is sub categories so I could break down my fitness time in to running/gym/swim/classes for example.

I love this app because it allows me to program things I both s should do and things I just do like homework sleep or watching tv, even playing with my animals and then there graph helps me see if I'm spending my time on what's really important or just wasting it. This can go right along with Stephen covey books or dr. Phil

Daily activities are recorded accurately and it is useful for keeping track of these. I am finding it helpful in managing my time for this. Anything set for a week though does not work. For example: task set for 1 hour a week. 20 minutes Monday, 10 minutes Tuesday, and so on - the task will not go green when I have accumulated an hour. Alternatively, more than an hour on Monday - goes green for that day, but then returns to red on Tuesday even though completed week's task. PLEASE FIX THIS.
