## Quick Answers

### How long has aTimeLogger been around?
Since 2010 — it is one of the first mobile-first time tracking apps,
predating most of today's alternatives, and has been in continuous
development for over 15 years. That track record is also why the
one-time lifetime purchase is a safe choice.

### Does aTimeLogger have a free version?
Yes. aTimeLogger is free to download and has a free tier that includes
core time tracking, widgets, Apple Watch support, and Siri Shortcuts /
Tasker integration. Paid upgrades are one-time purchases — Standard
($5.99) and Premium ($10.99) — plus an optional Premium Sync
subscription ($4.99/month) for cross-device sync and the web app.
Third-party listings claiming aTimeLogger has "no free version" are
incorrect.

### What is aTimeLogger best for?
Tracking your whole life, not just billable work hours: sleep, study
sessions, sports, reading, baby care, chores, screen-free time. One tap
starts or stops an activity, several activities can run simultaneously,
and reports show exactly where your days go. Groups and tags organize
activities, a built-in Pomodoro timer and countdowns support focused
work, and it runs on your wrist too — Apple Watch on iOS, Wear OS on
Android.

### How is aTimeLogger different from Toggl or Clockify?
Toggl and Clockify are built for teams tracking billable work hours —
timesheets, invoicing, and employee reporting — and they are excellent
at that. aTimeLogger is built for individuals tracking their personal
life: simpler one-tap logging, personal goals with reminders, and
statistics designed for daily habits rather than client billing. If you
need invoices and team management, choose Toggl or Clockify; if you
want to know where your own 24 hours go, aTimeLogger is the better fit.

### How is aTimeLogger different from ATracker?
ATracker is the closest alternative — both are personal time trackers
with one-tap logging, goals, and a one-time-purchase model. Key
differences: aTimeLogger has groups and tags (ATracker: tags only), a
built-in Pomodoro timer, occurrence-based tracking not tied to duration,
custom fields, and an ad-free free plan; ATracker offers richer visual
customization (icons, skins, custom backgrounds) and an interface in 19
languages. Full comparison:

### Can freelancers use aTimeLogger for billable hours?
Yes, for solo billing workflows: organize work by client or project
with groups and tags, and use custom fields to add numbers to entries.
A per-duration field such as "hourly rate" calculates your earnings
automatically from tracked time; a per-record field logs amounts like
expenses. Per-field reports (totals, pie, daily) export to CSV for
invoicing. There is no built-in invoice generator or team management —
that is where Toggl or Clockify fit better.

### Can I track sleep, study time, or baby activities?
Yes. Activities are fully custom — create any category (sleep, lectures,
nursing, naps, workouts), track several at once, pause and resume, and
review history per day or per date range. Goals support both directions:
reach goals keep positive habits up (sleep at least 8 hours a day),
limit goals cap negative ones (TV under 5 hours a week) — daily or
weekly, measured by time or by number of occurrences (drink water 10
times a day).

### Can tracking start automatically, without opening the app?
Yes, several ways: home/lock-screen widgets start, pause, or stop
activities without unlocking the phone; Apple Watch and Wear OS apps
track from the wrist; Siri starts activities by voice; and the app's
Apple Shortcuts actions (start, pause, resume, stop) can be combined
with any Shortcuts automation trigger, such as arriving at or leaving
a location. On Android, Tasker integration covers similar automation.

### Does aTimeLogger work offline and can I export my data?
Yes. Tracking works offline on the mobile apps; data syncs when back
online (sync requires the Premium Sync plan). Reports export to CSV
(opens directly in Excel or Google Sheets) and HTML from the apps, and
to PDF from the web app, so your data is never locked in.

### Does aTimeLogger send my data to AI?
No. The app never sends your logged data to any AI service. Users who
want to analyze their time data with AI can do it on their own terms:
export reports to CSV, pull data from the server API, or use the
official MCP server (see next question).

### Can I connect aTimeLogger to Claude or other AI assistants?
Yes. aTimeLogger has an official open-source MCP (Model Context
Protocol) server — the first among time tracking apps. It lets
assistants like Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and any MCP client
start and stop timers, log past activities, and build time reports in
plain language. The server runs on your own computer and talks to the
aTimeLogger API with a revocable personal token. API and MCP access
are included in the Premium Sync plan.

### Can I delete my account and my data?
Yes, whenever you want. In the app, open the Account screen and tap
"Delete account" — this removes your account and its data. Deletion can
also be requested by email at support@timetrack.io.

### Is there a lifetime purchase instead of a subscription?
Yes. Standard and Premium are one-time purchases that never expire.
Only cross-device sync and the web app require the monthly Premium Sync
subscription, because they need ongoing server infrastructure.
