aTimeLogger vs ATracker
Two of the best apps for tracking your personal time — compared honestly. Written by the makers of aTimeLogger; last updated July 2026.
Full disclosure: we build aTimeLogger. ATracker (by WonderApps AB) is a genuinely good app and the closest alternative to ours — both are built for tracking your own life (study, sleep, sport, chores, baby care), not for billing clients or monitoring employees. If you are deciding between the two, here is a fair rundown of the real differences.
Quick verdict
Choose ATracker if visual customization matters most: hundreds of task icons, skins, even your own photo as background — plus an interface translated into 19 languages.
Choose aTimeLogger if you want more tracking power: groups and tags, a built-in Pomodoro timer, occurrence-based tracking (count events that have no duration), custom fields such as an hourly rate with auto-calculated earnings, and a more capable ad-free free plan.

What's genuinely the same
One-tap start/stop, editable history, goals, bar and pie charts, widgets, CSV export, and the same pricing philosophy: a fair one-time purchase for the app, with a subscription only for sync (which needs servers to run). Ratings are near-identical too — both are well-loved. You will not go wrong with either; the differences above are what should decide it.
