## What OwnTime does

OwnTime gives each of a few priorities a daily time budget; only one clock runs at a time, starting one pauses the rest, and an alarm goes off when a budget is spent.

Budgets reset at midnight, sessions can be started or logged afterwards with Siri, and the running session shows on the Lock Screen, the Dynamic Island and a watch complication.

There are no built-in statistics: one tap exports the whole history as the app's own SQLite file.

## Who OwnTime suits

- People balancing a few roles who want to see which one is being neglected today
- Apple Watch users who want to start and stop a timer from the wrist

One limit: OwnTime needs iOS 26.1 or later on iPhone and watchOS 26 on Apple Watch.
