⚡ Quick start: Your first time block

Time blocks are the basic building unit in TimeTune.

To create a time block:

1. Schedule / Click on the ‘+’ button / New block.
2. Choose an activity to indicate the purpose of the block.
3. Choose a start and end time for the block.
4. Click on the ‘Accept’ icon on top to save the block.

That’s it! With time blocks you can build a time management system as simple or as complex as you need, including statistics.

💡 You can define a default activity in the app’s settings (Settings / Interface / Default activity).

🕗 Schedule

The ‘Schedule’ section allows you to:

• Create individual time blocks.
• Apply templates to plan your days faster.
• See your upcoming schedule and past history.
• Access the template calendar (Top menu / Template calendar).

💡 You can click on the times on the left for quick adjustments.

📄 Templates

Templates are groups of blocks that can be applied to the schedule all at once, allowing you to plan your days really fast.

To create a template:

1. Templates / Click on the ‘+’ button.
2. Select a name for the template.
3. Select the amount of days for the template.
4. Click on the ‘Accept’ icon on top to create the template.

After that, the template will open automatically and you’ll be able to add blocks to the template.

To apply a template to your schedule:

• Schedule / Click on the ‘+’ button / Apply template, or:
• Schedule / Top menu / Template calendar / Click on a date / Apply template.

💡 You can apply multiple templates to a day.
💡 You can use the template calendar to remove applied templates (Schedule / Top menu / Template calendar).
💡 If you planned your day by adding individual time blocks, you can save that day as a template (Schedule / Top menu / Save as template).

📆 Template calendar

The template calendar (Schedule / Top menu / Template calendar) shows which templates will be used on upcoming dates. It’s the perfect place to make changes and exceptions.

Click on any date to apply templates or remove previously applied templates.

💡 You can also clear the whole template calendar if you need to start anew (Top menu / Clear everything).

🧱 Blocks

The ‘Blocks’ section shows a list of all the individual blocks you created on the schedule, for reference.

This list may be useful if you need to search a block by name, date or activity.

💡 The list of blocks will grow over time, but you can hide ended blocks to make it more manageable (Top menu / Hide ended).

🏷️ Activities

Activities indicate the purpose of each time block. They also allow the app to build statistics about your time.

The app includes some generic activities, but you can create your own activities or edit the default ones:

• Activities / Click on the ‘+’ button to create a new activity.
• Activities / Click on an activity to edit its name, color and icon.

💡 You can choose more than one activity for a block to indicate you are doing multiple things or to build custom statistics.

📊 Statistics

The ‘Statistics’ section will show you how you are actually spending your time.

Use this section to detect time leaks, find out if you have a good work/life balance and make corrections if necessary.

💡 You can use the ‘Filter’ option on top to filter the data by activity.
💡 You can click on any slice in the graphic to see the corresponding data.
