Tools to track task time

The problem, in plain words: I want an iOS to-do app that lets me enter expected time for tasks and then record actual time spent so I can compare estimates vs reality.

No tool in the catalog fully fits this yet.

You want an iOS-native to-do/time-tracking app that lets you set an expected duration per task, record actual time (timer or manual), and compare estimates vs actuals.

Partly fits

Toggl's primary focus is one-tap time tracking and reporting across projects, so it covers recording actual time and producing reports of tracked hours.

Won’t cover: The product description does not state a per-task expected-duration field or built-in per-task estimate-versus-actual comparisons.

Timery is a focused iOS time-tracking companion that makes starting and editing timers easy and shows reports of tracked time.

Won’t cover: Its description highlights editing and reports but does not mention a dedicated expected-duration/estimate field or automatic estimate-versus-actual comparisons per task.

TimeJotpartial · 52

TimeJot keeps timelines and lets you record events with live durations and dashboards, so it can capture actual time entries and view time between events.
