knoself

Daily Highlights brings back a set of past time cards each day, helping you revisit real effort and add a fresh reflection.

If you often move between work, study, rest, and everyday life but cannot clearly say where your time went, knoself helps you record real effort and turn it into time cards you can review.

knoself has the following features:

【Quick Start】Start timing from the Action Button, Home Screen widgets, Lock Screen, Apple Watch, Today's Reminders widget, or inside the app. It works well for quick tasks and lightweight recording. While a timer is running, you can add text, tags, and photos or adjust its start time.

【Time Cards】Each record becomes a time card. Along with the time spent, you can write notes, ideas, mood, state, and takeaways, so your future self can understand what was happening.

【Reminders and Calendar】Create reminders inside knoself with dates, times, repeats, alerts, photos, and tags. Use the This Week agenda or board to see the week ahead. With Calendar access, you can also see system calendar events in Reminders and start timing directly from an event. Time records can be written back to your system calendar when you choose.

【Multi-dimensional Tags】Use # tags to add project, context, state, energy, or mood to each record. When reviewing later, you can understand your time from different angles.

【Health Data】Sync mindfulness, sleep, and workout time from Apple Health, bringing manual records and health data into one review.

【Daily Highlights】Each day, knoself selects past time cards so you can rediscover what you were doing, thinking, and feeling. Review them one by one, add a new reflection, and exclude tags you do not want to revisit.

【Review and Reflection】Use time breakdowns, 24-hour distribution, yearly heatmaps, tags, and todo statistics to see what takes your time and when you are more likely to get into a productive state. Open the time cards behind each chart, or share records with AI tools for deeper reflection with methods such as Three Good Things, KPT, or the 4P model.

【Multi-device and Local-first】Use knoself on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch. Records are stored locally by default, with optional iCloud Sync. Sharing and export are initiated by you, and your data belongs to you.

What knoself is good for

• Record real effort: work, study, reading, exercise, quick tasks, and everyday life.
• Organize personal tasks: in-app reminders, repeating items, a weekly agenda, board view, Lock Screen access, and calendar timing.
• Add context: write time logs, notes, journals, thoughts, mood, and takeaways in time cards.
• Review your life rhythm: use tags, charts, time distribution, productive hours, and rest state to see yourself more clearly.
• Personal reflection: open related time cards or share them with AI tools for further analysis.

What knoself is not for

knoself focuses on personal time recording. It is not designed to become a team management tool or a complex project system.

【Not for team timesheets】No team member management, timesheet approval, organization reports, or admin console.

【Not for project billing】Not intended for client billing, contracted hours, invoicing, or enterprise timesheet settlement.

【Not a calendar replacement】It can show system calendar events, start timers from them, and write time records to your calendar, but it does not provide full calendar editing, meeting invitations, or calendar analytics.

【Not automatic surveillance】It does not automatically monitor how long you spend in every app or website, and it does not analyze all your behavior in the background.
