timeMaster Reviews

The timeMaster product is less than subpar. All development and updates have stopped after just a few months. This product is abandonware.

There are bugs and they are not fixed, there are feature requests in the roadmap timemaster.featurebase.app/roadmap (page is live when writing this, unless the developer removes it after this review) that are just fake promises. The developer Sachin Neravath will ignore all support emails asking about the progress of the product (verifiable with the other review), but he will gladly tell you to buy his new product Hootz’s lifetime deal and hype it up like how he did with timeMaster before abandoning it. Hootz does almost the same thing as timeMaster, whatever features that are in Hootz could’ve been added into timeMaster but it was not, because Sachin already got his money from all the Lifetime plan he does not need to further improve the product anymore, which is what everyone is experiencing with TimeMaster. Some of the UI and UX inside Hootz is also the exact same thing in TimeMaster, he literally moved the feature into a brand new product just so he can squeeze out more money from people. It's like a fraudster with shiny object syndrome.

I am not the only one saying this, look at @grzegorz review below. Whatever you do, do not buy from Sachin Neravath ever. Developers and partners associating yourself with Sachin, do not work with him if he reaches out to you. The reviews on the timeMaster website (also live while writing this review) are the same people that reviewed Hootz, those people do not have the integrity to ask why was TimeMaster abandoned and why is there a need for a new product when the feature set of Hootz can be implemented into TimeMaster (the answer why is above, it’s because Sachin Neravath has already gotten the money he can from TimeMaster so he moved on), they are either reviewing timeMaster and Hootz because they are friends of Sachin (and therefore bias), they are paid to do so and do not use the product themselves, or Sachin just used their name without asking; whichever it is, either way those people cannot be trusted.

I am a real purchaser and (was) a user of this product, believe me when I say what I wrote above. Everything I said here is true and easily verifiable. I have read the review and community guidelines and this review is in accordance with the Appsumo's guidelines. We do not tolerate developers like Sachin Neravath. If the situation changes for TimeMaster and everything I said above has been made right, I will update this review accordingly. If this review is not updated, that means whatever I said still stands true.

Very very elegant time tracker, compared with Timming, Timemator or else app.

I especially like it showed when I started working and slepp, and it emphasised my time when I'm heavily on a task.

At first, I rated it 5 tacos. Unfortunately, new features like the Pomodoro timer didn’t work correctly. The developer promised to fix the issues and introduce even more interesting features, but since August 2024, there have been no updates and no responses to support emails. It seems the product has been abandoned.

This app UI is super clean, it runs very smoothly and just looks amazing. Overall setting it up was a breeze and Im happy to say that it's beautifully developed to MacOS.

After running for while I have found both pros and cons.

Pros
-Like I said this app runs so optimally and smoothly on M1 MacBook Pro. Just beautiful
-Also the interface is clean and after while I got hang of the whole software
-It gives very granular tracking for all the sites you visit and spend time. Very helpful to really follow what you have spend your time during the day
- In activities, you can simply click the url and go back to site you visited. Could be helpful in some cases.
-Overall a time tracking app which is privacy aware and runs without internet access on your Mac - Beatiful!

Cons
-Biggest drawback for me was daily notes. I hoped that typing some notes during the day or project would save for me to inspect later but no. I can follow the time tracked but not for example the tasks what I added and completed in daily notes. Very disappointing, I do not understand what is the daily notes function without ability to review them later. Also would be nice to export them later.
-Inability to export the tracked data.
-Lack of iOS app or ability to track iPhone usage thru Screen Time. As Mac user, I jump between iPhone and Mac and helpful to have both data to really get realistic view of time usage

It's a beautiful minimalist tool. Worth the price
