Track focused work and breaks, calculate estimated earnings from your hourly rate, and turn daily effort into progress toward a reward goal.
Set an hourly rate and a reward goal, then the app estimates your earned amount from your work time. It is useful for study, side projects, remote work, and personal tasks where you want a little more motivation. This is for personal tracking and motivation, not official payroll or attendance management.
Simple workflow
Start tracking in seconds. Your settings and history stay in this browser.
Enter the hourly rate you want to use, name your reward, and choose a target amount.
Press Start when you begin. Use Break and Resume without losing your recorded work time.
Press Finish to save the session, then open Report to review your recent work history.
Transparent calculation
WorkReward Timer multiplies your recorded work time by the hourly rate you entered. Break time is excluded from the estimate.
Estimated earnings = work seconds ÷ 3,600 × hourly rateExample: 1 hour 30 minutes at $20 per hour produces an estimate of $30.
Practical ideas
The timer works best for activities where effort is measured in focused time rather than a fixed number of tasks. Choose a personal hourly rate, record only active work, and use the estimate as a motivational score rather than formal income.
Use separate sessions for reading, practice questions, and review. Pause the timer during meals or unrelated browsing so the report reflects focused study rather than total time at your desk.
Example: At a personal rate of $12 per hour, five 50-minute study sessions represent $50 of progress toward a chosen reward.
Track the effort you invest in proposals, research, administration, or portfolio work even when those hours are not billed directly to a client. This helps make invisible project work easier to recognize.
Example: Three 90-minute portfolio sessions at $20 per hour create an estimated progress value of $90.
Run the timer for a single planned focus block and use Break when you step away. The work report can help you compare planned focus time with the time you actually completed.
Example: Four 45-minute focus blocks equal three hours of recorded work before breaks.
Writers, illustrators, musicians, and makers can reward consistent practice without judging every session by its final output. Recording time keeps an unfinished draft from feeling like wasted effort.
Example: A 30-minute daily practice at $15 per hour adds $7.50 of reward progress each day.
Use short sessions for organizing, paperwork, maintenance, or other tasks that are easy to postpone. Finish each task session separately so your history remains understandable.
Example: Six 20-minute organizing sessions add up to two hours of visible progress.
Choose a reward that is meaningful but not urgent, then connect it to a realistic amount of effort. Smaller milestones provide frequent feedback while a larger goal gives the routine direction.
Example: A $60 reward at a personal rate of $15 per hour requires four focused hours. Splitting that into eight 30-minute sessions makes the target easier to approach.
