What you actually get
TimeTally was built around one question: what do you actually need from a productivity timer?
Keep Work, Workout, and Study as separate tabs. Switch between them without losing your place or settings.
Paste a YouTube URL as a task. The video plays embedded and stops automatically when the timer runs out.
90-minute deep work, 7-minute coffee, 45-second plank. No preset blocks — just enter the time you need.
Hear the task name announced as it starts. Eyes on your work, not the screen.
A live "done at 3:42 PM" bar so you can plan your day around when your work session actually ends.
Add to your home screen on any device. Works offline. No App Store, no Play Store, no account.
Open TimeTally in your browser right now. No sign-up, no download — just your tasks and a timer.
