Question 1

What is TimeCounts?

Accepted Answer

TimeCounts is the first timer app built around your calendar. It turns real events — meetings, workouts, study blocks, client calls — into event timers that track actual duration vs planned. It also includes all the timer modes you'd expect: countdown, Pomodoro, intervals, and stopwatch.

Question 2

What are Event Timers?

Accepted Answer

Event Timers are a new timer category designed for scheduled, real-world events. They start when your event starts, track actual vs expected duration, and show overruns — so your calendar becomes an honest record of how you spend time, not just a plan.

Question 3

Is TimeCounts free?

Accepted Answer

The core app is free to use (with ads) — event timers, countdown and stopwatch modes, and smart notifications. Premium unlocks unlimited timers, Pomodoro and interval timers, smartwatch sync and removes ads; Pro adds Calendar Sync and the AI Smart Timer. Both paid plans start with a free trial.

Question 4

Which platforms is TimeCounts available on?

Accepted Answer

TimeCounts is available on iOS via the App Store and on Android via Google Play. Apple Watch support is in development — follow us to be notified at launch.

Question 5

How does Calendar Sync work?

Accepted Answer

Connect your Google Calendar (more sources coming soon) and your upcoming events appear as ready-to-run timers in TimeCounts. Tap to start, mark complete when done, and TimeCounts tracks your actual vs planned duration.

Question 6

What timer modes are available?

Accepted Answer

Beyond event timers, TimeCounts includes countdown timers, stopwatches, Pomodoro timers with configurable work/rest intervals, and interval/HIIT timers. All can be saved as presets for one-tap starts.

Question 7

How does overtime tracking work?

Accepted Answer

When an event timer runs past its planned duration, TimeCounts visually shows the overrun. Over time, you'll see patterns — which meetings always overrun, which tasks take longer than expected — so you can plan more accurately.

Question 8

Can I save timer configurations?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Presets let you save any timer configuration and launch it with a single tap. Organize presets by category and they sync across all your devices.

Question 9

How does cross-device sync work?

Accepted Answer

Start a timer on your phone, check it on your watch. Event timers, regular timers, and presets all sync in real-time across your connected devices — no manual action needed.

Question 10

Does it work offline?

Accepted Answer

Yes. TimeCounts works fully offline. Timers keep running, and everything syncs automatically when you reconnect.

Question 11

Which smartwatches are supported?

Accepted Answer

Wear OS smartwatches are supported with full timer controls and haptic feedback. Apple Watch support is coming soon.

Question 12

When is the iOS app coming?

Accepted Answer

The iOS app is available now — download TimeCounts from the App Store and your events, timers, and history stay in sync across devices.

Question 13

Is my data secure?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. We use end-to-end encryption for data transmission, encrypted storage at rest, and conduct regular security audits. Your calendar and timer data stays private.

Question 14

Do you sell my data?

Accepted Answer

Never. We do not sell, trade, or share your personal information with third parties. See our Privacy Policy for complete details.

Question 15

What calendar data do you access?

Accepted Answer

TimeCounts only reads your event titles, times, and durations to create event timers. We don't access attendee lists, descriptions, or other calendar metadata. You control which events become timers.

Question 16

Can I delete my account and data?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Delete your account directly from app settings, and all associated data — including timer history and calendar sync data — is permanently removed.
