Stays on your devices

Two halves of your day, in one place.

Time tells you what happened. A journal tells you what it meant. RareTap keeps both records together.

The time clock

Tap to start any activity, tap to stop. One clean record of where your time actually goes.

The journal

Add what the clock can’t capture, right beside the hours it can.

Track

Start anything in one tap.

Work, study, training, reading — whatever deserves a clock. Tap once, or let geofences, Siri, and Shortcuts start the routine; widgets and Live Activity keep it within reach.

Reflect

Put the why
with the when.

Write about the same day you tracked. The Markdown journal is grouped by day and week, with search and filters when you need to find a detail again.

Understand

See the shape of your time.

Zoom out from a single session to days, weeks, and months — with history, calendars, goals, totals, streaks, and trends showing how your time adds up.

Calendar

A record you can actually take with you.

Nothing you track gets trapped in the app. Your time and journal export as clean, portable files — yours to keep, query, move, and build on.

  • Export to an Obsidian vault. Every day of time and journaling as date-keyed Markdown, ready for Dataview.
  • CSV & JSON. Range-selectable raw exports — down to the individual clock-in and clock-out events — for your spreadsheets and scripts.
  • Markdown journaling. Write entries in plain Markdown; the formatting survives the export intact.

Privacy

Your day is not our data.

RareTap's App Store privacy label is Data Not Collected. There is no account, no RareTap server, and no in-app analytics or advertising SDKs. Your time and journal live on your iPhone, sync only through your private iCloud if you turn that on, and export whenever you choose.
