Who it is for
Lazy Rhythm is made for freelancers and for people building a project on their own. Not for teams, not for employees who have to prove their hours. The whole category, the big time tracking tools, exists to justify your time to somebody else: billing a client, reporting to an employer. Hence the projects, the hourly rates, the exportable reports.
This one is for something else. The number one failure of the category (you forget to start the timer, the data becomes wrong, you give up) is treated here as a normal gesture and not as a shameful repair buried in a menu.
What it does
- Starting a session. One tap to start, one tap to stop.
- Catching up, front and centre. 'I forgot to track', 'started late?': fixing a session is a visible button, not a hidden option.
- A time marker for the week. Set to keep you from overshooting rather than to hit a quota. The gap is shown, it is never commented on.
- Three ways to read your time back. By week, by month, and session by session.
- A monthly total that leaves out your days off. Time away does not eat into your figure.
- Areas. To separate what belongs to a project, to a client, or to yourself.
- Session notes. What you did during those two hours, written down at the time.
- Data export. Your hours come out in a format readable elsewhere.
What it does not do
- No invoicing. Your hours can be exported.
- No hourly rates, no client reports. It is not a tool for proving your time to somebody.
- No teamwork. It is a personal tool.
- No goal to hit. The weekly marker is there to show when you are working too much; it does not validate a day.
- No planning.
- No iPhone version. Android only.
- No advertising, ever.
What it looks like
Screenshots will come with the first published version.
What it knows about you
Nothing. There is no account, no server, no artificial intelligence and no tracker. There are no ads, and there never will be. Your sessions are stored on the phone and only leave it if you export them yourself. The details are in the privacy policy, which is in French for now.
Frequently asked questions
Can I bill my hours with it?
No. The app exports your data so you can pick it up in your invoicing tool, but it does not invoice.
Can I set myself a weekly marker?
Yes. It is there to show when you are overshooting, not to hand you a quota. The app shows the gap, under as well as over, and stops there.
What if I forget to start the timer?
That is expected. Fixing or adding a session afterwards is a front and centre gesture, not a buried option.
Does it work for a team?
No. It is a personal tool, with no sharing and no account.
Does it plan my day?
No.
Is there an iPhone version?
No, Lazy Rhythm only exists on Android.
The studio's other apps
Lazy Rhythm is one of the Lazy Mind apps. Each has its own subject, and all of them work with no account and no tracking. See also Lazy Sober and Lazy Habit, or all the Lazy Mind apps.
