I spent 1,000+ hours over the past year and a half obsessing over every detail. Today, I’m excited to finally share Balance 2 — redesigned to help you track time more mindfully.
Stop losing track of time and forgetting to take breaks. Balance combines mindful time tracking with effective break reminders to help you work focused and live balanced.
Whether you're a freelancer tracking billable hours, a student managing study sessions, or a professional juggling multiple projects, Balance provides powerful time tracking tools with the intelligence to protect your well-being.

👋 Hello again, Product Hunt!
I'm incredibly excited to finally launch what I've been spending most of my free time on over the last year and a half: a complete redesign of my mindful time tracking app Balance.
Some of the many new features and improvements you will find:
• iCloud sync
• Log charts with monthly and yearly views
• A subtle glow that gradually lights up your screen when it’s time for a break
• A Balance score to help you reflect on your work-life balance
• Weekly workspace goals
• Workspace work windows
• Billable time tracking
• Advanced exports (more formats, options, and data)
• Translated to 33 (!) languages
• Deep system integration (Spotlight, Shortcuts, Focus Filters, Siri)
• Lifetime plans
📱 I will also start working on the long-awaited iOS and iPadOS versions of Balance soon, so stay tuned for that!
✨ I look forward to hearing what you think about Balance 2!

@alexandberg Was looking forward to this launch! Great app, can't wait to try the new version!
@rajpurohit_vijesh Balance is not really for scheduling work and tasks beforehand, but I do have plans to add a calendar integration which allows you to add time entries in the calendar, among other things.

@alexnsbmr Thanks a lot, Alexandre! Yes, I probably spent way too much time polishing it 😄
I'm curious, how do you approach integrating with calendar apps for even better scheduling?
