Key Features of Time Tune

1. Pro Version with Google Calendar Integration

Time Tune offers a Pro version that allows you to sync habits and routines directly with Google Calendar. For anyone juggling multiple schedules (like personal, work, and shared calendars), this feature can be a game-changer.

2. Customizable Color Themes

Add a little fun to your habit-tracking experience by changing the app’s color theme. A visually appealing interface can make daily tracking more engaging.

3. Increased Customization

Time Tune lets you create routines and individual habits with a high degree of flexibility. Each activity can be tagged by category, such as studying or housework.

Downside: You’re limited to three tags per activity, which may restrict organization for users with complex schedules.

4. Improved Habit Tracker Experience

Compared to other apps like Habit Bull, Time Tune enhances the user experience by displaying multiple habits scheduled in a single day. This consolidated view makes it easier to see your entire routine at a glance.

What’s Missing:

• The app doesn’t include a walkthrough to clarify the difference between routines and blocks, which could be confusing for first-time users.

Why Google Calendar Integration Matters

As someone who manages four different schedules—personal, work, my husband’s, and our shared social calendar—Google Calendar is my go-to app. Time Tune’s integration means I can add habits directly to my daily schedule, making it more likely I’ll stick with them.

If you’re already a heavy Google Calendar user, this feature alone may make the Pro version worth considering.

Habit Hack Tip

When starting a new habit, pair it with something in your environment that you regularly see. Visual cues—whether in your physical space or on your phone—are powerful reminders to stay consistent. For example:

• Place a sticky note on your desk.

• Set a daily reminder on your phone.

• Use Time Tune to schedule habits directly into your calendar.

If it helps, it helps!

Final Thoughts on Time Tune

Time Tune is an improvement over basic habit trackers, offering a blend of customization and calendar integration that makes it a solid choice for users who want to streamline their routines. While it could benefit from a more comprehensive onboarding process and increased tagging flexibility, its user-friendly design and Google Calendar sync make it a standout option.
