People budget money carefully but rarely see where their time goes. I designed a lightweight tracker that makes the shape of a week visible enough to reflect on.

A budget app breaks your spending into categories so you can see where the money goes. Time Tracker does the same thing with your calendar. Four life pillars (Family, Self-Care, Socialization, and Career) are the default categories, each assigned a target share of your time. The app shows you the actual breakdown next to the one you choose for yourself.

Each pillar carries its own target, so the dashboard always has something to measure against. My goal was to create something that could hold you accountable to how you want to spend your time, because most people, including me, feel like life runs on autopilot without us directing it. And almost always, people's regrets have to do with, “I wish I did that with my time at that age.” So I wanted to see where the time was actually going, in more than one view.

The hardest part of any tracker isn't the chart: it's categorization. Pillars have to be personal, because different things matter to different people at different stages in their life.

Since some categories could overlap, we also needed to set definitions around each category. So the onboarding starts with defaults, but lets people shape the system around what they actually want to track. The point is not to force one universal definition of a balanced life; it is to make the categories meaningful enough that the breakdown feels honest.

Bloom showed me I could move at the speed of my own judgment. Time Tracker showed me that writing the logic first — categories, targets, states, and edge cases — made the build sharper and kept the product coherent.
