PioTime

Quick questions

Account & data

Do I need an account?

No. PioTime stores everything locally on your device, no sign-up. As soon as you start pairing a second device, an end-to-end encrypted copy goes to a server — readable by your own devices only.

How do I back up my data?

Under Settings → Backup you export all entries as a file and import it on the new device. Or pair both devices with a QR code and let syncing handle it.

I have a new phone. How do my entries come along?

Under Settings → Sync → “Transfer to another device”, PioTime walks you through it step by step: as a file, no account and no server. Or pair your old and new phone with a QR code and let PioTime sync the entries.

Goals & report

Which monthly goals are there?

50, 30 or 15 hours — or a goal of your own. You can also work without a goal. A single month can differ, for example when you switch between pioneer and auxiliary pioneer.

Which goal do I set as an auxiliary pioneer?

30 or 15 hours. If you serve as an auxiliary pioneer on an ongoing basis, pick the goal under Settings → Defaults. For single months, change it in the month view under “This month only”; the other months keep their goal.

What does the monthly report look like?

Three numbers: field-ministry hours, credits, Bible studies. The report lists whole hours: if leftover minutes are open, you first choose Round up, Round down or, where possible, Carry over to the next month. Then you copy the short text or share it directly, for example into a chat.

Devices

Is PioTime available for Android?

Yes, as a web app: open PioTime in Chrome, tap the menu (⋮), then “Install app”. PioTime is not on Google Play yet.

Does PioTime work offline?

Yes. After the first visit, PioTime starts without internet, and whatever you enter offline stays saved. Pairing, syncing and new versions, among other things, need a connection.

Cost

What does PioTime cost?

Nothing. No ads, no pro version, nothing to unlock. If you like, you can support the app voluntarily .

Want to try it?

PioTime runs in the browser and installs to your phone — or you can get it for iPhone and iPad from the App Store. To have a look around, the start screen offers a demo with sample data.

Open the app (opens in a new tab) PioTime on Instagram (opens in a new tab)

This opens the web app in your browser with its own entries, not your App Store app. To sync the two, pair them with a QR code.
