Buckit tracks time, blocks distractions, and maps your goals across every domain of your life — all in one beautiful app.
Time tracking, goal scheduling, focus protection, streaks, and deep insights — all scoped to your personal life domains, not just your work.
Buckit is currently in TestFlight beta. Download it, use it, and help shape the future of intentional living.
Download on TestFlightBuckit is not a work tool. It is a life tool — designed for the full human: the learner, the athlete, the believer, the creator, the caretaker.
Buckit will analyze your 24 hours, your sleep, your existing commitments, and your goals — then tell you if your goals are realistic and how to rebalance your week for maximum progress.
Buckit was not built from a business idea. It was built from pain — and from the belief that every person deserves to use their time fully.
Right now, as you read this, there are dozens of open tabs in your mind. A class you want to take. A skill you want to build. A habit you keep meaning to start. A passion you haven't touched in weeks. They sit there — waiting, growing heavier, collecting quiet guilt.
A lot of domains, a lot of cards, a lot of tasks, a lot of hobbies, a lot of classes — all open in our minds at once. We need to manually take care of those, or they drain us. They leak.
And we live in a world engineered to steal our attention. Social media, infinite scroll, notifications — the digital environment is not neutral. It is designed to pull you away from what matters. Given all of this, consistently showing up for the things you care about has become nearly impossible — not because you lack discipline, but because you lack the right structure.
Track it. Allocate it. Protect it. Own it. Your time is your life — and now you have the structure to use it.
Download on TestFlightBuckit is an iOS time-tracking and life-management app built around one core idea: your time is your life, and you deserve a tool that helps you protect it.
Unlike work-focused time trackers, Buckit is built for your whole life — chess, fitness, Bible study, coding, self-care, family. Each area of your life gets its own "bucket" — a domain you track time in, set goals for, build streaks in, and protect with Focus Mode.
Buckit is currently available as a TestFlight beta for iOS. To install:
When you first open Buckit, you will be guided through a short setup:
You can skip the goal step and set it later from the Goal tab inside any domain.
A domain (also called a bucket) is a named area of your life that you want to track time in. Examples: Chess, Piano, Bible Study, Fitness, Coding, Self Care, Family.
Tap the + button on the home screen. Enter a name and select a color. Your domain is created instantly and appears in the home grid.
Three system domains are always pinned at the top: Phone Usage (your iOS screen time data), Apps (app category breakdown), and Random (for unlabeled sessions). These cannot be deleted.
You can archive a domain from its settings to hide it from the home screen without deleting its data. Deleted domains move to Recently Deleted and are permanently removed after 30 days.
Inside any domain, tap the domain card to open it, then use the bottom tab bar to switch between Timer and Stopwatch.
The timer counts down from a set duration. Tap the displayed time to change the duration using the picker. Tap Start to begin. When the timer ends, the session is automatically saved to your domain history.
The stopwatch counts up from zero. Useful for open-ended sessions where you don't know how long you'll go. Tap Start, work, then tap Stop. The session duration is saved.
All completed sessions appear in the History section below the timer. Tap any session row to view its detail — duration, date, focus mode status, and any notes you added.
Focus Mode is Buckit's most powerful feature. It uses Apple's Screen Time API to block apps you choose for the duration of your session.
Toggle Focus Mode on inside the timer card before starting a session. You will see options to:
Once your session starts with Focus Mode on, selected apps become inaccessible on your device. The apps are not deleted — they are temporarily blocked until your session ends or you manually disable Focus Mode.
The first time you enable Focus Mode, iOS will ask you to grant Screen Time access to Buckit. This is required for app blocking. Buckit does not store or share your Screen Time data.
Each domain can have one active goal — a target total time to reach by a specific date.
Inside a domain, tap the Goal tab in the bottom bar. Enter:
Buckit automatically calculates how many minutes per day you need to reach your goal on time. This updates daily as you complete sessions — if you track more than required, your daily target decreases. If you miss a day, it adjusts accordingly.
A streak is the number of consecutive days you have completed at least one session in a domain. Each domain tracks its own independent streak.
The streak resets if you go a full calendar day without completing any session in that domain. Streaks are shown on the domain detail screen as a row of flame icons — filled (active) or dim (missed).
After completing a session, you can add an optional note — what you worked on, what you learned, how you felt. Notes are stored with the session in your history.
Tap the Notes tab inside any domain to view all notes chronologically, or add a standalone note independent of a session.
The home screen Progress section shows a multi-domain time chart across selectable time ranges: 7D, 1W, 1M, 3M, and YTD. Each domain is represented by its accent color.
The Phone Usage and Apps pinned domains surface your iOS Screen Time data — total phone usage and app category breakdown — so you can see how passive phone time relates to your intentional tracked time.
Buckit supports Siri Shortcuts for hands-free control. Supported commands:
To set up Siri shortcuts, go to Settings → Siri & Search → Buckit on your iPhone, or add shortcuts through the Shortcuts app.
Buckit syncs with Apple Watch. From your watch you can:
Data syncs automatically via WatchConnectivity. Ensure both your iPhone and Apple Watch are connected for real-time sync.
Buckit offers home screen and lock screen widgets. Available sizes:
Add widgets by long-pressing your home screen and tapping the + button, then searching for Buckit.
The Random domain is a system-pinned catch-all. Start a session without selecting a specific domain and it is recorded in Random. You can later drag a Random session into any domain to assign it.
Random is useful when you want to start immediately without deciding where the time belongs — the categorization can wait.
Buckit uses email-based accounts backed by Firebase Authentication. Your account stores your domains, sessions, goals, and settings in the cloud.
Set a display name in your Account settings. This is used in your profile and in shared summaries.
You can permanently delete your Buckit account from Account → Delete Account. All data — domains, sessions, goals, notes — is permanently and irreversibly removed within 30 days of deletion.
All Buckit data syncs in real time across your iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch via Firebase Firestore. Changes made on one device appear on all other devices within seconds when connected to the internet.
Buckit does not store any data on your device beyond what is needed for offline functionality. Your data is encrypted in transit and at rest.
No. An account is required for data sync and to enable cloud backup of your sessions and goals.
No. Focus Mode temporarily restricts access to apps you choose. The apps remain installed on your device and become accessible again when your session ends.
Buckit runs a background timer. If the app is closed, the timer continues and the session is saved when you return.
No. Your Screen Time data is processed locally on your device. Buckit does not transmit Screen Time data to any server.
