The Categories Report

The Categories Report shows where your time went, grouped by category rather than by individual app or website.

It's the higher-level companion to the Apps & Websites Report: same time, zoomed out to the category level. Open it from the Focus menu under Personal Reports > Categories.

Top Categories

Your time by category

The Top Categories tab opens on a bar chart of your top-level categories, ranked by time, with the full list beneath it showing each category's share and total. Switch between all time and work hours with the toggle, and change the date or range at the top right.

💡 Go deeper. Click any category name to see the individual activities inside it. To see the same time as individual apps and websites instead, use the Apps & Websites Report.

Sub-Categories and Time Views

Break it down further

The Sub-Categories tab breaks your top-level categories into their sub-categories, like Meetings and Instant Message within Communication & Scheduling. Hover over any bar to see its exact total.

The time-based tabs depend on the range you pick. Choose a day to get a By Hour tab, or a week or month to get By Day and Time of Day tabs.

Buttons Below the Chart

Three buttons sit below the chart, the same ones you'll find on the Apps & Websites Report:

Day timer

Export / Share

Saves or sends your report.

Manage categories

Takes you to the Manage Categories page, where you can change the ranking or scoring of categories and add new sub-categories.

For full details on these buttons, the tabs, and the date controls, see The Apps & Websites Report. To change how your activities are categorized and scored, see Managing Your Activities.
