UBhind - Mobile Life Pattern
QualityTime - My Digital Diet

Like UBhind, but specifically focused on applications, QualityTime lets you monitor how much time you spend on your smartphone and on your favorite apps. The application tracks total usage, screen unlocks, and individual apps with hourly, daily and weekly summary reporting options. Habit management is also an option, one that’s broken down into time restrictions like ‘alerts’, ‘take a break’, and ‘scheduled breaks’. These features can help you manage and control your usage when you have to, minimizing distractions during those periods.

Moreover, QualityTime profiles have options for blocking notifications and rejecting phone calls with auto reply text messages. You can also define exceptions to allow incoming calls from important contacts, or permit access to specific apps in restricted times.

By creating a QualityTime account, you will be able to see detailed device usage history for up to 6 months, and the usage information will be securely stored in the Cloud.

Time Meter Time Sheet

Time Meter is a time tracker (timesheet and time recording app) that makes it really easy to track time spent on work, sport, education, or any other activity, really. You can start and stop time tracking (time recording) with a few taps, use handy widgets to track time, and review daily, weekly, and monthly timesheets via an activity log, time log, work log, and work hours. Time Meter’s feature list is, in short, bloody extensive! It includes things like:

• widgets (list and lock screen, 1×1 with different icons) to provide the best experience
• timesheet reports (in CSV file format – daily, weekly, monthly or any other period)
• automatic export to Google Calendar using Time Meter Extensions app
• reminders and alarms (with custom sounds and vibration)
