miolo is a free time tracking and daily journal app for iPhone and Android, by Fuzalabs. Here are the answers to what people ask most, before and after they start logging their own time. For the overview, see the home page.
miolo is a free time tracking and daily journal app for iPhone and Android. You log what you did with a start, an end and a category, and miolo shows your day as it happened: on a timeline, by category and across the weeks. It’s there to show you where your time goes, not to demand more of you.
Yes. miolo is free on the App Store and Google Play, with no ads and no in-app purchases.
Yes, that’s what miolo is for. Instead of timing each task, you log activities by start and end, as they happen or afterwards. Times move in 15-minute steps, and each activity lasts at least 30 minutes. Whatever goes unlogged shows up as empty space on the day line, and that says something about your routine too.
Both, in the personal sense. miolo tracks time like a time tracker, but with no stopwatch, no projects and no billable hours. It works like a daily journal: your whole day fits in it, breaks, commutes, study and personal time included, not just work.
Not exactly. miolo doesn’t try to make you produce more. It helps you pay attention to how your time is being spent: no streaks, no pressure, no notifications all the time. If that changes anything in your routine, that’s your call.
Habit apps ask you to do something every day and count your streaks. miolo has no streaks and no nagging: it records what happened and shows patterns. Goals exist, but they’re there to compare intention with reality, not to reward or punish.
No. miolo has no stopwatch: you log activities with a start and an end, in 15-minute steps, whenever you like, including after they happened. Whatever goes unlogged shows up as empty space on the day line, and that says something too.
If you’d like help remembering, miolo can send two reminders a day, at 12 pm and 8 pm. They start off.
On the Home screen, tap the + button (on a day with nothing logged, “Record”), enter a start and an end, pick a category (and a subcategory, if you like) or write a title, and save. To log several activities in a row, check “Continue adding”: miolo saves and opens the next one, starting where the last one ended.
Yes. miolo is built for logging after the fact: you can fill in the morning at lunchtime or the whole day at night. You can also tap the date at the top of the screen, pick an earlier day on the calendar and fill in what’s missing.
Times follow a 15-minute grid, and each activity lasts at least 30 minutes. That’s on purpose: miolo wants a faithful picture of the day, not a count of every minute.
No. Each stretch of the day belongs to a single activity: if you try to save over a time that’s already taken, miolo doesn’t save and tells you that time range already has an activity. One activity can start at the exact time the previous one ends.
Yes. An activity from 11 pm to 1 am shows on both days, with a mark at midnight saying it continues, and each day counts the hours it took up there. To edit or delete it, it’s still one activity.
Categories are the broad areas of your time, each with a color. To start, miolo suggests Work, Personal, Break, Health and Study, and you can create your own. Subcategories break a category down, like Work › Meetings or Work › Focus. You change all of it in Settings › Categories and subcategories.
An activity can also have just a title. In analytics, its time shows as “No category”.
Yes, as empty space, on the day line and in days in lines. It doesn’t count toward any total, but it stays visible on purpose: that’s often where the day slips away.
Only if you turn reminders on. There are two a day, at 12 pm and 8 pm, scheduled on the device itself, inviting you to log the morning and the afternoon. They start off: miolo offers them at the end of your first steps and, if you say no, once more three days later. You can also turn them on and off with the Reminders switch in Settings.
If you’ve already been in the app that morning, the 12 pm reminder stays quiet; if you were in it late in the afternoon, so does the 8 pm one. Seven days after your last visit, they stop until you come back. There are no other notifications.
In the Analytics tab. It shows how much time went to each category, in a chart (tap a slice to open its subcategories) and in a breakdown in hours. For periods of up to 31 days, “days in lines” draws each day as a colored line, so you can see the whole week at a glance.
The last 7 days, the last 30 days, the last 12 months, or any range you pick on the calendar by tapping the first and the last day. When you open it, analytics shows the last 7 days.
A goal says how much you mean to spend on a category or subcategory: at least, exactly or at most, in hours or in number of activities, per day, week or month. miolo shows how the current period stands (met, in progress, within the limit or over the limit, for example) and the history of recent periods, each one met or not.
As you log the day in blocks, miolo adds up the time in each category and shows the breakdown for the period you choose. With a goal, such as “at least 8 hours of Work per day” or “at most 5 hours of Work › Meetings per week”, you compare what you meant to do with what happened.
Yes. In analytics, the arrows move to the previous or the next period of the same length: from the last 7 days to the 7 days before them, for example. In a goal’s history, recent periods appear together, so you can see which ones were met.
No. miolo works without an account. In that case, your records are tied to this device only, and they’re gone if you uninstall the app, sign out or don’t open it for six months.
Signing in with Google or Apple is optional: it keeps what you’ve logged and takes it to another device. You can create the account later: with a Google or Apple account you haven’t used in miolo before, what you’ve logged comes along.
Yes, by signing in with the same account on each. Signing in with Apple is only available on iPhone: to use miolo on both an iPhone and an Android device, sign in with Google on both. Without an account, your records can only be seen on the device where you made them.
If you used miolo without an account on a device and then sign in there with an account you already use on another, miolo asks you to confirm first: the records made without an account on that device are left behind.
Yes. What you log in miolo stays in your account and isn’t read or analyzed individually. Data travels encrypted between the app and the servers, and access rules make sure each person can only reach their own data. Nothing is sold or used for advertising.
To keep the app working, miolo collects usage events (such as “an activity was logged”, never its content) and crash reports. The privacy policy explains it all in detail.
On Google’s servers (Firebase), in the United States. Data travels encrypted between the app and the servers, and access rules make sure each person can only reach their own data. Fuzalabs doesn’t read or analyze what you log individually. The details are in the privacy policy.
In the app: Settings › Delete account › Continue, then sign in again with Google or Apple to confirm. You’re signed out on every device, and the account and every record in it are deleted 30 days later. If you sign in again within that time, miolo asks what to do, and only “Keep my account” cancels the deletion.
An account used without signing in with Google or Apple is deleted when you tap Settings › Sign out and confirm with “Sign out and lose them”. For a Google or Apple account, without the app, write to privacidade@fuzalabs.com.br from the account’s email address; the account deletion page explains the details.
That depends on what you’re looking for. miolo is a daily journal for personal use: you log your whole day in blocks, breaks, commutes and personal time included, and look back at the week. It has no stopwatch, no projects and no billable hours.
It isn’t made for that. miolo has no clients, projects, hourly rates or invoicing. It answers a different question: where your day went.
No. miolo has no timer and no focus-and-break cycles. You can log your focus time after it happened, in blocks of 30 minutes or more, but the app doesn’t run the cycles.
Yes. miolo is available for iPhone on the App Store and for Android on Google Play, in English, Portuguese and Spanish, with a light and a dark theme.
English, Portuguese and Spanish. The first time, miolo follows the device’s language; if the device is set to another language, it asks which of the three to use. After that, you can change it in Settings › Language, and the choice is saved to your account.
Yes. In Settings › Theme, you choose between System, Light and Dark. The choice stays on the device.
No. miolo is an app for iPhone and Android: there’s no web version and no app made for computers.
