Please vet my startup idea - A Budgeting App Not for Money but for time.

As the old saying goes: Time is Money. And I was surprised to see how we have numerous budgeting app for money, but very few for time budgeting.

The ones that are available for time budgeting also revolves around setting up times on calendar and is oriented towards companies/teams.

I want to create a time budgeting app which works similar to money budgeting.

In one week there's 168 hours, so you'll basically budget as you are budgeting 168$ for a week.

Example Budgeting:
Sleep - 8 x 7 = 56 hours
Work - 8 x 5 = 40 hours
Commute - 2 * 5 = 10 hours
Workout - 2 * 5 = 10 hours
and so on..

Every week you budget 168 hours and see how closer you are from your expected time spent to the actual time spent at the end of the week. And we can generate some visualization based on that.

Really useful for people to get the actual picture of how they are spending time each week.

Most of it can be automated so that the user doesn't have to input them manually like, sleep using health app if the data is available, work/commute/gym with location tracking etc.

Let me know what you guys think. Thank you~

    Setting your brand around the idea "time is money" sounds very appealing.
    The features could be similar to other time tracking app, with UI's and concepts revolving around that idea. Best of luck, and looking forward to be a tester some day.

    really like this idea. I'd personally use it, really puts into perspective how much you can waste your budget of time. I'd incorporate 'time is money' into the branding too.

    Build it!
