Time Sink for Android

People write more reviews!! Very underated

I write very few reviews. But Time Sink stands alone as the best (or only) app that tracks screen time, etc, so effectively. All too often, I find myself sucked into one app, then another, then websurfing, then writing an email, then … where did that hour go? I can be so focused on what I was doing I completely lose track of time. This answers the question. I’ve had version 1.x installed on my Android for years, and I’m incredibly grateful it’s there when I need it (usually a few times/day). I can’t imagine working without it. I will update this review for version 2.xx. In the meantime, if the new version is even close to the 1.xx, then $5 is a pittance to pay for the benefit I (and hopefully you) will gain from this app. It helps me stay in control of my time by reassuring me I was on task or showing me where I lost my path. Whatever I’m doing, it keeps me honest. Thank you so much for Time Sink and the frequent (free) updates between the BIG releases. For my peace of mine, Time Sink has been repaid its cost to me many times over. Upgrading was a no-brainer for me.

As a Flash animator, I often charge by the hour. And I often have lots of FLAs open at once. This app keeps track of each FLA inside Flash and logs the time I spend on each one individually.

I don’t know what happened but this app became a CPU hog. 26-30% CPU usage in average. I’ll stop using it until Many Tricks update it. The last update was on August,11 2014! Come on, guys. What’s going on?

Handy app, but its footprint is too large (17-26% of one CPU core). Not worth it unless you will be actively using the app to track a certain process or project.
