    About How Long Really

    How Long Really is a personal list of how long everyday tasks actually take you. Tap Start and Stop while you shower, cook or get ready to go out, or add a time afterwards. After a couple of tries it shows your usual time and range, so plans can be based on real numbers instead of guesses. It is designed with ADHD and time blindness in mind, and helps anyone who often runs out of time. There are no scores and no judgement.

    Questions

    What is time blindness?

    Time blindness means finding it hard to feel how much time has passed or how long something will take. It is common with ADHD. Measuring real times, instead of guessing, is a simple way to plan with numbers you can trust.

    How does it work out my usual time?

    It looks at your last ten times for a task and shows the middle one as your usual time, with the range from short to long. With five or more times it leaves out the single shortest and longest, so one unusual day doesn’t stretch the range.

    Is my data private?

    Yes. Everything you add stays in this browser on your device. Nothing is sent to Favabeans or anyone else, and there is no account. You can save a backup file whenever you like.

    Does it work offline and on my phone?

    Yes. It runs in your web browser on a phone, tablet or computer, and keeps working without internet after your first visit. A measurement keeps running if you close the page or reload it.

    Can I use my times in Clock Plan?

    Yes. Tap “Add to my Clock Plan” on a task and it opens Clock Plan with a block of your usual length, ready to add to your day.

    Is it free?

    How Long Really is completely free. There are no ads, no account and no paid version.
