What It Is

OneTenth is an iPhone/iPad time-tracking app for lawyers, built by a practicing BC lawyer in Vancouver. It focuses on the 0.1-hour billing increment commonly used in the legal industry—that is, 6-minute blocks—for recording billable hours, while continuously showing how the user is tracking against their annual target, monthly pace, and daily goal.

Core Features and Positioning

The product is deliberately focused: it supports 0.1-hour entries, daily pace tracking, a monthly calendar overview, billable and non-billable hours, variance checks, and cumulative progress tracking. It also includes statutory holiday calendars for Canadian provinces and U.S. states, and supports adding vacation as a single day or date range. The system then automatically adjusts the remaining working days and daily target accordingly. CSV import and export can be used for archiving, reporting, or migrating from spreadsheets mid-year.

Pricing and Deployment

OneTenth uses a one-time purchase model priced at $9.99, with no subscription and no account required. It works on iPhone and iPad and requires iOS 16+. The text does not mention a free version or trial. Deployment is purely as a local mobile app, with data stored on the device; if the user enables iCloud Backup, the data will be included in Apple’s encrypted device backups.

Privacy, Security, and Integrations

Privacy is a core selling point of the product. It does not record client names, case names, matter descriptions, or other identifying information, and it has no accounts, servers, ads, analytics tracking, or third-party data sharing. This design helps support lawyers’ confidentiality obligations, but it also means there is no team collaboration, permission management, API, or automation capability. The text says it can be used alongside law firm systems such as Clio and PCLaw, but there is no direct integration.

Pros, Cons, and Who It’s For

Its strengths are precise positioning, ease of use, low price, and reduced privacy risk, making it especially suitable for lawyers who want to stay on top of their personal billing pace. Its limitations are that it is iOS-only, cannot replace docketing, case management, or invoicing systems, and is not suitable for firm-wide centralized management. For users in China, website and App Store availability, regional listing status, and payment restrictions are not disclosed. Local alternatives could include spreadsheets, general-purpose time-tracking tools, or law firm case management systems.
