Work-life balance, enforced

Go home.

Every other time tracker nags you to clock in and log more. Quittin' Time counts your active hours and, at eight — or wherever you set the line — tells you to put your tools down.

Quittin' Time over-goal screen telling you it is quittin' time and to go home Quittin' Time active work timer counting hours on the clock
The whole idea, in one line

Your phone buzzes: “Quittin’ time. Go home.”

It’s the opposite of a productivity app — a boundary-enforcer for your own time, built for people who keep blowing past their 40-hour week.

See it work

Eight hours, then the whistle.

Watch the day cross your line — and the nudge land everywhere you’ll see it: the timer, the Lock Screen, the Dynamic Island. No projects, no timesheet. Just your active hours, and a tap to call it.

A short loop of the actual app screens — no sound needed.

How it works

Three taps from burnout to boundary.

1

Punch in

Tap once when you start. No projects, no tags, no timesheet — just the clock running.

2

Only active time counts

Breaks don’t count. Active hours are derived from timestamps, so they survive an app-kill, a backgrounded phone, even a reboot.

3

At your line, quittin’ time

Hit your daily goal — eight hours by default, or whatever you set — and a respectful nudge ladder kicks in — a heads-up, then the whistle. It hedges, and it always offers a one-tap fix.

Set your line

Eight is just the default.

Six-hour Fridays? A four-day week? Part-time? Set your daily goal and your weekly contract, and Quittin' Time holds the line you actually want — then nags you against that, not someone else’s number.

Whatever you pick, the ring fills against your day and the week is measured against your contract. Set it with a wheel picker in the app, in hours and minutes.

The voice

It nudges. It never lectures.

Playful whistle, but humble. The further past eight you go, the more helpful it gets — not snarkier. And because logging is never perfect, it hedges anything it isn’t sure of and pairs every nudge with a one-tap correction.

T − 30 min
“30 minutes to quittin’ time.”
At 8 hours
“Quittin’ time! Looks like 8 hours on the clock. Did that include lunch?”
+10 min
“Still going. About 10m past quittin’ time.”
+30 min
“You may be over by ~30m. Edit today if a break didn’t get logged.”
What’s inside

Built to make stopping easy.

Active time only

It tracks real work, not hours-at-desk. Pauses never count toward your day.

A line you set

A clear daily ceiling on active work — eight by default, yours to set from four to twelve — with the week measured against your own contract, not a fixed 40.

Respectful, escalating

A nudge ladder, not a guilt machine. Tone de-escalates as you go over; it never claims certainty it doesn’t have.

Lunch safety-net

A gentle midday nudge to actually take your break — 12:30 by default, set it to your hour. So lunch doesn’t quietly become more work. Free.

Fix the day in a tap

Mark today a full day off, or add a shift you forgot to track — straight from Today. The record stays honest without a fight. Free.

Export to CSV

Take your full shift history out as a spreadsheet whenever you want — it’s your record, no lock-in. Free.

Local-first & private

Everything lives on your iPhone. No backend, no accounts, no ads, no data extraction. Your work record is yours.

One-time Pro, no subscription

Free is fully usable. Pro is a one-time unlock that adds depth — never a recurring bill.

Live Activity, Island & widget

Your running day, glanceable without opening the app — Lock Screen, Dynamic Island, and a refreshed Home Screen widget built around a big progress ring with the time left to go.

Yours, and only yours

No accounts. No cloud. No catch.

Quittin' Time keeps your shifts right on your iPhone — never uploaded to our servers. There’s nothing to sign into and nothing to leak — a tool about protecting your time shouldn’t spend it harvesting your data.

Pricing

Free to use. Pro, once.

No subscription, ever.
