JotDay:Time Tracker for iPhone

JotDay — quick summary

JotDay is a lightweight time-tracking app designed to reduce friction and help you stay productive. It automatically pulls workout and sleep entries from Apple Health and can capture app activity through Shortcuts, cutting down on manual entry. The app also includes a pared-back focus timer that appears as Live Activity and integrates with Dynamic Island, making it easy to check progress at a glance.

Core capabilities

• Minimalist focus timer with Live Activity banners and Dynamic Island support for immediate status updates.
• Background import of sleep and exercise data from Apple Health so your daily stats update themselves.
• App-usage capture via Shortcuts to automatically log time spent in apps without typing.
• Built-in analytics that break down how much focused time you accumulate and where it’s spent.

Layouts and views

• Monthly overview for spotting long-term trends and totals.
• A timeline view that shows events and focus periods in sequence.
• Weekly grid for comparing day-to-day allocation across a seven-day span.
• Time-block visualization to inspect how you chunk your work during a single day.

Why it helps

JotDay’s clean day, week, and month presentations make it simple to compare how you distribute time. The combination of automatic imports and shortcut-driven logging keeps records accurate with minimal effort, while analytics give context to your focused sessions so you can refine habits.
