I made TimeAnt because my dad needed a simple way to track his time at work and he didn’t like the other apps out there because they were too complicated or had way too many features. So, I built an app that just does the basics: track work hours, meetings, breaks, lunch and optionally lets you add notes - and that's it.
It’s totally free, works both online and offline, and doesn’t require an account (but you can create one if you want). The goal was to keep it super simple and let you focus on tracking time without all the fluff.
It also gave me a chance to learn Swift and build my first native iOS app! I’d love to hear what you think!
Best, Viktor

Edited: I can give more useful feedback after I have actually tried it for a while. I found some quirks/issues while testing it, and I post them here.
• I sometimes get 00:00:-1 during the first second when starting a new track.
• Being able to manually C(R)UD things could be useful. I already have a "break" I do not want today, just after testing how it works. Or maybe a call cut my break short, threw me back into work and at the same time prevented me from using the app. Then I end up with two hours of break instead, even though I know exactly when the interruption happened.
• I would like if the date format could equal the system's, or at least if I could set it to YYYY-MM-DD :)
• Can imagine defining one's own track names would be useful, for example if one works for several clients or has other types of activities. Seems like properties are name, colour and whether it is a type that should have a note.

Yes, I was thinking about allowing for creating your own activities but just kept if very simple for now. But it's a good idea! I will work on it after fixing the previous tasks.
