Reflective time tracking for people who care about mission, not surveillance
Most time trackers are built to prove you were working. TimeBlocks is built to help you decide whether the work was worth your time.
Run a short, focused study, usually about two weeks. Capture what you were doing with a quick prompt. Then look at the pattern and ask: is my time reflecting my mission?
What “reflective time tracking” means
- You choose the categories
- You answer lightweight prompts during the workday
- You review a clear day timeline and week view
- You stop when the study has taught you enough
It is not year-round bookkeeping. It is a mirror for a season of work.
Time study vs traditional time tracker
| Traditional trackers | TimeBlocks |
|---|---|
| Start/stop timers | Quick category prompts |
| Always-on logging | Finite study window |
| Activity / productivity scores | Patterns you interpret |
| Screen / app surveillance | You decide what to log |
Who it’s for
- People who want a work time journal, not a timesheet
- Leaders running a team time study without monitoring software
- Anyone asking whether meetings, focus work, and admin match what they said mattered most
How a TimeBlocks study works
- Name what matters (your mission and priorities)
- Capture work with Mac menu-bar or iPhone prompts
- Review your own time in the apps, or shared team results on the website
- Realign: keep what serves the mission and make space where it doesn’t
Your time in the apps. Team results on the web.
Explore your own time for free on Mac or iPhone. Organize a team study for $15 USD per participant, per study. No subscription.
FAQ
Is TimeBlocks employee monitoring?
No. It does not watch your screen, record apps or keystrokes, or grade “productive” time.
Do I need to run timers all day?
No. Prompts ask what you were working on; you pick a category and move on.
How long should a study last?
Usually about two weeks. Long enough to see a pattern, short enough to finish.
Is it free?
Solo studies are free. Team studies cost $15 USD per participant per study, with 14 days recommended and a 30-day maximum.
