Own your day.
Block by block.
TimeBlocks is a tiny timer app that turns your day into clear blocks of work. Plan the day, focus on one block at a time, and finish knowing exactly where your hours went.

How it works
Plan. Focus. Review. There’s no fourth step.
Plan for Tomorrow
Reminder
1. Plan
Create your block with a duration. Plan tomorrow, tonight and see the list is waiting in the next morning.
Focus
24:58
Write report
Break 05:00 starts automatically
Pause2. Focus
Run the timer on one block at a time. Pick 25+5, 30+5 or 60+10, and the break starts on its own.
Planned vs actual
| Task | Plan | Actual | Diff |
|---|---|---|---|

| Practice | 30m | 10m | −20m |
3. Review
The timer writes down what happened right next to what you planned. No second step to remember.

Daily report
An honest end-of-day scorecard.
Each task shows what you planned, what you actually did, and the gap, in green, yellow or red. Breaks are counted separately, and a session log and day remark capture how the day really went.
Past days stay one tap away, so you can look back over the week.
Deciding what’s next
Can’t start? It picks the next task for you.
Tell TimeBlocks how much time you have, your energy and what you want from this stretch. It suggests the task that fits, so you spend less effort deciding and more doing.
Who it’s for
Built for students and people who work alone, especially ADHD brains.
Distractibility, time blindness and trouble starting aren’t willpower failures. They need a different kind of structure: the next task already named, the timer always visible, breaks that start themselves, and feedback at the end of the day.
Students and exam prep
- Plan mode to set tomorrow’s study blocks tonight
- Every timer logs itself, so study hours are on record
- Daily planned-vs-actual report, subject by subject
ADHD-friendly focus
- Next-task recommendations by time, energy and focus goal
- Always-visible compact timer that hides in the tray
- Breaks that start on their own
Solo workers at a PC
- Plan the day without a team or a manager
- See where deep work really happened
- Free, offline, and nothing to sign up for
Not a fit: teams, managers watching someone else’s day, billable hours, or anyone who needs the same plan on a phone.
How it’s different
Keeps the plan. Checks the day against it.
A Pomodoro app
times a session and forgets the plan. TimeBlocks keeps the plan and checks the day against it.
A to-do app
tells you whether something is done. TimeBlocks tells you whether it got its time.
A time tracker
explains where the hours went after the fact, if you log them. TimeBlocks writes the actuals while you focus.
FAQ

Nowhere. Everything is stored on your own PC — there is no cloud, no account, nothing to sign into.
Which systems does it run on?
Windows 10 and 11. Mac and Linux will follow once there’s enough demand. Vote for yours.
