Find the time thieves with segment laps

Split one task into segments and you can see where the time goes. How to pinpoint the bottleneck with DaySprinter's segment timing and cut where it counts.

Why time your daily tasks at all? Because you measure to get faster. But a total time only tells you "fast or slow." Segments tell you where you're slow.

Split a task into segments

Break a morning routine into "wash → dress → breakfast." For a workout, split by exercise; for work, by step. The finer the segments, the more concrete the bottleneck.

"The slowest part is __"

DaySprinter tallies time per segment and points at the slowest one — so you can spend your effort where it actually pays off.

The time keeps running, even in your pocket

DaySprinter times by the clock, so the value never drifts in the background, on lock, or after the app closes. Measure while your hands stay busy.

Look at the segments, and the waste shows itself.

Start with three segments — the free plan covers up to 3 per task.
