Date-only by default
Keep a task attached to a day without inventing a start time it does not need.
Optional time-based tasks
Put a time on the tasks that need one.
Most work only needs a date. When a client call, handoff, focus block, or launch needs an exact time, Cinch adds the clock without making every task behave like a calendar event.

A calendar when it helps
Keep the flexibility of a task list and the shape of a real day.
Timed work falls into place on the calendar while date-only tasks remain simple. You decide where time adds useful structure.
Exact when it matters
Add or remove precise start and due times as the work becomes more or less scheduled.
Plan the day
See timed work in month, week, or day view, with full-day and workday modes.
Remember the moment
Get a due-now reminder when a timed task reaches the point it needs attention.
Dates and times, together
Schedule precisely without scheduling everything.
The task model stays lightweight until the work asks for more detail.
Start with the date
Plan the task on the day it belongs without committing to a specific point on the clock.
Add a time
Set an exact start or due time manually, or use natural phrases such as “today at 3” while adding the task.
Work from the day
Open day view to see timed work in order, switch between a workday and full day, and act when the reminder arrives.
Useful across timezones
Timed start and due dates keep timezone context, helping a scheduled handoff or meeting mean the same thing when collaborators are not in the same place.
- Timezone context stored with timed start and due dates
- Timed behavior carried across calendar and timeline planning
- Exact times can be removed without discarding the task date
Natural language for quick planning
Add common phrases while capturing the task so scheduling does not interrupt the thought. Date-only and timed language can coexist in the same quick-add flow.
- Use phrases such as “today at 3” or “Jan 3 at 3:30pm”
- Plan morning work without navigating a separate event form
- Keep reminders and recurrence connected to the task
Connected work
The rest of the project stays close.

ExploreCommon questions
A few useful details.
Does every Cinch task need a time?
No. Timing is optional. A task can remain date-only or gain an exact start or due time when needed.
Where do timed tasks appear?
Timed work appears in month, week, and day calendar views and remains connected to the other project views.
Can I see only normal working hours?
Yes. Day view can switch between workday and full-day modes.
Are scheduled tasks the same as tracked time?
No. Timed tasks plan when work should happen. Cinch time tracking records how long the work actually takes.
