How it works

Three steps to a better day.

Most productivity apps track tasks. Thalam tracks time — what you planned versus what you actually did. The gap between those two things is where self-awareness lives.

📅
Plan

Block out your day in advance. Assign tasks to time slots, set durations, and add reminders. Your forecast for the day — laid out hour by hour.

Track

Run a live timer against what you're actually doing. Pause, resume, switch tasks. Or use Mark My Day to log activities after the fact.

📊
Stats

Compare planned time against actual time. See where you over-ran, where you under-delivered, and which categories eat most of your day.

Features

Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

Thalam is intentionally focused. No habit tracking, no gamification, no social feeds. Just time — planned, tracked, and understood.

🗓

Time Block Planning

Create blocks for your day with a task, start time, end time, and optional notes. Tap any empty time slot to plan instantly.

▶️

Live Timer

One tap to start tracking. Pause and resume throughout the day. Segments are recorded automatically so nothing is lost.

Mark My Day

Didn't track in real time? No problem. Quickly log what you did at the end of the day from your task list.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Thalam is a native iPhone app for time-aware productivity. You plan your day in time blocks (what you intend to do and when), track what you actually do with a live timer, then compare the two in Stats. It's built around one idea: the gap between what you planned and what you did is where most self-awareness lives.

Thalam (താളം) is a Malayalam word meaning rhythm or beat — the steady pulse in music that keeps everything in time. It's the right metaphor for a day well-planned: not rigid, but rhythmic. Thalam is part of the Mozhima app series from Cheppulabs, a collection of native Apple tools with Malayalam names.

Yes. The free plan is genuinely useful — you get live timer tracking, time block planning, Mark My Day, and today's stats with category breakdown. Limits apply: up to 5 tasks, categories from onboarding, and up to 5 planned blocks per day. Pro removes all limits and adds deeper features.

Pro unlocks: unlimited tasks, the ability to create and manage your own categories, unlimited planned blocks per day, extended stats (Week, Month, Quarter views), task-level time breakdown with search and category filter, and block reminders (get notified 5, 15, or 30 minutes before a block starts).

During the early access period, Pro is available as a free one-time unlock. This is a permanent entitlement — it won't expire or be taken away when the price rises. Once the early access window closes, Pro will be priced at $9.99 as a one-time purchase (no subscription).

Not yet. Right now all data is stored locally on your device using Apple's SwiftData framework. iCloud sync is planned for a future update. Your data never leaves your device in the current version.

No. Thalam has no analytics, no telemetry, no crash reporting that phones home, and no account requirement. All your tasks, blocks, and time logs live entirely on your device. See the full Privacy Policy for details.

Plan is your forecast — the blocks you create in advance saying "I intend to spend 9–10am on deep work." Track is your actuals — the live timer you run during the day capturing what you really did. Stats compares the two so you can see the gap.

Thalam is currently available on iPhone (iOS 17 or later). iPad and Mac versions are planned for a future phase. The app is built with SwiftUI and is designed to expand naturally to Apple's other platforms.

iCloud sync across devices, iPad and Mac support, Apple Watch complications, and AI-powered insights on your time patterns. The roadmap is long — and the early access Pro unlock is the best way to get everything as it ships.
