--------------
Filling in time sheets feels like one of those unsatisfying, time-consuming tasks. That's why we put our heads together and came up with ZEIº - a unique time-tracking device which makes this annoying task simpler than ever before so that you have more time for the things you love.
ZEIº is a polygon device with a wireless connection to the computer. Through our software, users can assign a project to each face of the device and immediately start tracking time on a project just by placing the polygon to the corresponding project face up and stop the time by changing to another face or turning the device off.
Given this, users can control time tracking within seconds and can therefore, add entries immediately without losing focus while opening and interacting with applications.
We provide apps for macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS and Android. They make it really easy to assign and reassign different clients or projects to each side of your ZEIº.
Forgot to stop tracking as you left your workplace? Don't worry, you can use the mobile apps to stop and also edit tasks on the go.
Our free version has everything you need, including nice reports.
Do you need an integration to an existing solution as well? Then our pro version is the one for you. The pro version also features a weekly productivity report to help you become more productive. But we won't stop here! We have a lot of useful features within our schedule that we will add along the way.
You don't have to take our word. Instead, have a look at what our beta users or the press say.
Because we know that it's uncomfortable to change to a new solution we want to make ZEIº fit seamlessly into your current daily workflow. Therefore we're integrating ZEIº into all those awesome time-tracking and To-Do management solutions out there to make your life easier.
Track your time effortlessly with ZEIº and automatically synchronize all your projects, tasks and time entries with one of the integrations below. So you don't lose time with data migration and all that boring stuff.
Our focus is to make time tracking as easy as possible. That's why we keep the software as simple as possible. Our free version of the app includes everything you see in this section and more.
This is not the final version of the app - it's just what the beta software looks like. We're currently improving them based on the feedback that we got from the beta users. Feel free to share your ideas and feedback with us!
Again, this is not the final version of the apps, as we're currently improving them based on the feedback that we got from the beta users. Feel free to share your ideas and feedback with us!
The status LED on the on/off button shows you when ZEI° is connected to a device and the actual state of the battery.
All you need to get started is the device, with a pen, a set of stickers and the apps for Windows, Mac, iOS, Android and Linux. As simple as that, this package will help you to save a lot of time and money.
We want to embrace the maker in you and give you everything you need to create your own unique ZEIº. Do you want another shape? Color? Material? We got you covered. You will get from us the electronics, tools and 3D print files (but you can create your own as well) and all you need to do then, is to create a housing, assemble your ZEIº, calibrate the software and be proud.
We are 4 guys who believe that today we are all wasting too much time and that technology can help us to change that. We at Timeular want to create solutions for valuing our time more.
Thomas (the first guy on the left) is the ultimate maker. You just have to give him something to develop to make him happy. Manuel B. is our non-coffee-drinking Italian, who likes the challenge no matter if outdoors or in business. Christian is our outstanding industrial designer who loves to create, no matter the task, he will crush it. And the last guy on the right Manuel Z. is the software guru. He loves to code, test earphones and discover music at the same time.
THE DEVELOPMENT
We have all worked for many years and felt the pain of time tracking more than once and in June 2015 we decided to start this journey together and bring this to an end. The very first prototype was crap but good enough to talk to as many people as possible and gather their feedback.
We've collected a lot of feedback and built many more prototypes till we found the perfect combination of features for the first version of ZEIº.
ZEIº AROUND THE WORLD
And we traveled the world and pitched in many places to test different markets and spread the word about ZEIº.
In April 2016 we spent two months at the EnchantVC Accelerator in Singapore together with amazing mentors and 15 startups from all over the world. It was a pretty intensive time but we learned a lot and finally, we visited the Hardware Silicon Valley Shenzhen.
BETA
And in May 2016 we decided to do something unusual. Many supporters asked us for a test-device but at that time we had no money to produce enough prototypes. So we decided to ask our supporters if there are 50 people willing to join a paid beta program, where they get a test device and other special stuff. The response was unbelievable.
Within 10 minutes we've found 50 supporters and at the end of the day over 450 supporters wanted to join. This was an incredibly motivating response for us. Unfortunately due the lack of resources we were just able to accept the first 100 supporters.
From this moment on our adventure got even more exciting. During the following two months, we worked very hard to built 100 prototypes and a software that our beta supporters could test. Everything except the molding and electronics manufacturing was done by us by hand.
During this beta, we have learned a lot about manufacturing, worldwide shipping, hands-on support and obviously the product itself. The feedback, the ideas and the effort of our beta community have helped us to evolve the product better.
WHY KICKSTARTER
Our Beta-Program in summer 2016 was already kind of a crowdfunding campaign and we loved it. Building a product together with the support and feedback of a strong community is invaluable and now we want more.
We're here not just to pre-sell ZEIº to you, but rather to expand our passionate community of innovative individuals. We believe that you can play an integral role in the development of ZEIº.
If you’re ready to join this exciting journey with us, please support our campaign and spread the word!
If we're here on Kickstarter today, it's not just because of us 4 but it's as well because of the time that many people around the globe donated to us. We want to take this chance and thank all the people involved for their time.

Additional Notes
Please note that shipping to any country outside the European Union may be delayed or canceled depending on the feasibility of local product approval requirements or local import regulations. In a case of cancellation we will refund your pledge. There may be additional duties, fees or taxes raised by the authorities in your country. You may need to take care of them yourself when receiving the shipment.
Risiken und Herausforderungen
We are really excited about launching this campaign after our successful mini-crowdfunding campaign with the beta users. However, we know that the most important part of our process is that we fulfill our promise to you and deliver your ZEIº on time and in the expected quality!
Though we have preliminary agreements with manufacturers, we want to mitigate risks for any potential road bumps along the way. We have shipped working devices in 15 countries but now we will face new challenges related to production, packaging and shipping at big scale. We are certainly up for this challenge and confident we will deliver!
Our mentors at the EnchantVC Accelerator program and our partners will be a strong support system on which we will rely to help us reach our goals. With their guidance, we are confident that we will deliver a high-quality product to our backers. We will continue to work hard, and of course, keep you informed every step of the way!
