About RareTap – Time Clock & Journal

RareTap tracks the hours and keeps the story. One tap clocks a work session, a workout, a study block; tap again to stop — and the day you tracked gives your journal a head start. Export your hours and journal to an Obsidian vault you own. Most trackers lock your time in; RareTap hands it back as a date-keyed folder: a daily Markdown note, a Dataview-queryable YAML summary of where your hours went, and the journal you wrote that day, joined by date. Query it, weave it in, keep it forever. Clean CSV and JSON timesheets export too. TRACK ANYTHING - Tap to start, tap to stop — work, workouts, study, practice, chores, reading, a side gig. - Give each activity its own color and icon with Activity Profiles. - Run several timers at once — each on its own clock. IT CAN TRACK ITSELF - Geofence clocks you in on arrival; per-place time offsets match your real badge time. One place per activity is free — Premium adds more. - Siri & Shortcuts: "Hey Siri, RareTap clock in Work" starts that activity. A JOURNAL, NOT JUST A TIMER - Start blank or from today's tracking: per-activity durations and the day's total, ready for your words. - Pick an Apple Journaling Suggestion — places, music, workouts, photos, and more — and begin an entry dated to when it happened. Only what you choose is added. - After your last clock-out, RareTap can offer an entry. Schedule a gentle reminder if you want one. - Markdown renders cleanly and exports verbatim to Markdown and Obsidian. Hand-typing is free; Premium adds the formatting toolbar. - A gentle rhythm line notices your journaling days or weeks. Browse by day and week; the calendar marks days you wrote. SEE YOUR TIME - History as a grouped list or heat map — each day a proportional color bar split by activity. - Premium Insights: charts by day, month, and activity; an 8-week trend; week, month, or year totals. - Month mini bar charts, a "vs. last week/month" pace delta, and a gentle day-streak counter. - Weekly goals per activity, with progress rings. ALWAYS A GLANCE AWAY - Home and Lock Screen widgets, a live timer in the Dynamic Island, and one-tap Clock Out from the Lock Screen. - On iOS 18+, clock in or out from Control Center, a Lock Screen control, or the Action button. - A weekly goal turns the circular Lock Screen widget into a progress ring. - Share a finished session as a clean card. YOURS ALONE - No account, no login, nothing to sign up for. - RareTap collects no data — Apple's privacy label reads "Data Not Collected." - Your time and journal sync privately through your own iCloud. MAKE IT YOURS - 16 app icons: the five classics included, four rare-material hides and seven premium colorways with Premium. - Premium share-card styles in rare materials and colorways — every card keeps "Tracked with RareTap." - Premium Widget Background: one hide or colorway your widget and Live Activity always wear. - Light and dark, Dynamic Type, VoiceOver, and haptics — Apple-native, top to bottom. SHARE YOUR DAY - Touch and hold a Calendar day to share it as a card — the whole day with its activity breakdown, or one activity's day in its colorway. RARETAP PREMIUM (OPTIONAL) - Unlimited activity profiles (free includes 3), Insights, Obsidian Vault & Markdown export, multiple geofenced places, the Markdown toolbar, share-card styles, Widget Background, 11 premium icons, and premium colorways — on cards, icons, and activities. - Monthly, yearly with a 7-day free trial, or a one-time Lifetime unlock. - Everything free stays free forever — and everyone who joined before Premium is a Founder, keeping every feature free. Whether you're keeping an honest record, building a habit, or piping your life into a vault — RareTap keeps the record, and hands it back to you.

What’s new

Version 1.2.8 · Updated November 2, 2026

RareTap now fills iPhone Duo: the whole outer display when it's closed, the whole inner display when it's open. • Export to Vault shows which days it covers and how many shifts and notes it holds, and remembers your last range. • Exported files carry the RareTap name, and vault exports name the days they cover. • A Rate RareTap row in Settings. • At the largest text sizes on smaller screens, the floating timer bar and the introduction keep their layout. • An export started right after opening the app can no longer be cleared away mid-share.
