Track your time in three simple steps.
The same loop every focused worker uses, packaged into a free timer you’ll actually open.
- 01Step 01
Pick a timer mode
Pomodoro for structured 25/5 cycles, or stopwatch for open-ended deep work and meetings. Both are free, both log to the same focus record.
- 02Step 02
Label what you're working on
Free-form project labels like ‘writing’, ‘client A’, or ‘study: chemistry’. Optionally link the session to a task or habit.
- 03Step 03
Review your focus record
Every session lands in your daily record. See total focus time, pomos completed, and a per-day grid you can look back on at any time.
Everything you want from a time tracker. Nothing you don't.
One clean dashboard. Pomodoro, stopwatch, labels, daily focus record and a weekly AI review — built into a single tool, not stitched across three apps.
Pomodoro timer, fully customisable
Default 25/5/15. Tune work blocks 1–180 minutes, breaks, and how often a long break kicks in. Auto-start optional.
Stopwatch for open-ended work
Switch to stopwatch for deep work or meetings. Same labels, same record, no countdown pressure when you don’t want it.
Free-form project labels
Type any label per session — ‘writing’, ‘client A’, ‘study’. Group your time however your work actually splits.
Link sessions to tasks & habits
Optionally tag a session with a task or habit. The time you spent shows up directly on the matching card — a real audit trail.
Daily focus record
Every session lands in a clean per-day list. Total focus time, pomos completed, abandoned sessions — all visible.
Weekly AI review
Pro perk. Sundays the AI reads your last 7 days of sessions and tells you when you focused best, what slipped, and the one thing to change.
Quiet completion sound
One soft chime when a pomo or break ends — or fully silent if you prefer. No nagging push, no banner spam.
Works on every device
Fully responsive web app. Installs as a PWA on iPhone, Android, tablet and desktop. Same data, same record, instant.
Private by default
Encrypted at rest and in transit. No ads, no data sales, no third-party trackers on the timer page. Your hours stay yours.
BaseRebuild vs Toggl, Clockify & Forest.
We're built for personal focus, not team timesheets. If you need invoicing or 50 employee seats, Toggl and Clockify are the right call. If you want a free, fast, ad-free Pomodoro that's connected to your habits and goals — that's us.

Time tracking app questions.
A time tracking app records how long you spend on specific work — deep work, study, freelance projects, or daily habits — so you can see where your hours actually go. BaseRebuild is a free time tracking app with a Pomodoro timer, a stopwatch, free-form project labels, and a daily focus record. It's built for individuals, not teams.
Yes — forever. The free plan includes unlimited Pomodoro and stopwatch sessions, project labels, and the full daily focus record. No credit card, no time limit, no ads. Pro ($59/year) adds the weekly AI review, task and habit linking, deeper analytics, and accountability pacts — but the core timer is free.
The best free time tracking app for personal use is the one you actually start. BaseRebuild wins on three things: it loads instantly as a web app on any device, it pairs the timer with a habits dashboard so your hours connect to your goals, and the free plan isn't crippled — every core timer feature is unlocked. Toggl and Clockify are great for teams; BaseRebuild is built for solo focus.
Yes. BaseRebuild is a fully responsive web app that installs as a PWA on iPhone, Android, tablet, and desktop. Add to home screen, run in full-screen, get a completion sound when each pomo ends. Native apps are on the roadmap.
Yes. Default is 25 / 5 / 15, but you can set work blocks anywhere from 1 to 180 minutes, short breaks 1–60, long breaks 1–120, and choose how often a long break kicks in (every 2 to 12 pomos). Auto-start breaks and auto-start pomos are optional toggles.
Yes. Switch to stopwatch mode for open-ended deep work, study sessions, or meetings. The stopwatch logs the same way Pomodoro sessions do — labelled, dated, and grouped in your focus record.
Yes — that's one of the things that makes BaseRebuild different. Any session can optionally link to a task or a habit, so the time you spent shows up directly on the matching card. It turns the timer into a real audit trail for your goals.
BaseRebuild's time tracker is built for personal focus — deep work, study, side projects. It logs every session with a label, duration, and timestamp, so it's perfect for freelancers tracking their own hours. Invoice generation, billable rates, and team timesheets are not on the roadmap; for those use Toggl Track or Harvest.
It stays yours. Every session is encrypted at rest and in transit, never sold, and never shared with anyone — there are no ads on the page. You can delete your account and all sessions any time from settings.
CSV export is on the roadmap and shipping in an upcoming release — until then, every session is browseable in the daily focus record and remains queryable by date and project label.
Start tracking time. Right now.
Free forever. No credit card. Thirty seconds to your first session — the focus app you’ll actually open tomorrow.
