Beta

Join the Return beta

The beta is free. Apple reviews for new updates can take several days or longer. TestFlight is Apple’s way to try the latest version of Return before it becomes available in the App Store. It will not replace anything on your phone, and you can leave any time.

Report in Return with a monthly goal card: 10 of 30 hours, a ring, the month drawn as a line, 1 hour of credit hours included, about 7 hours a week to reach 30, and where the current rhythm lands.

See your month against your goal

Set a monthly hour goal in Report and the month is drawn against it: what you have recorded, where your rhythm lands, and the time that reaches it. Credit hours count, and it says so; you can turn that off.

In TestFlight since build 109

The hours editor in Return: 1:45 in large type above a sliding ruler, the start and end times, and chips for 30m, 1h, 1h30, 2h and 3h.

Slide to set hours

When you add or correct time, slide the ruler under the big figure, or tap 30m, 1h, 1h30, 2h or 3h. The plus and minus buttons move it by a quarter hour.

In TestFlight since build 109

The ministry timer in Return running in a small sheet over the Report screen, with hours and minutes in large type and Pause and Stop below.

A timer you read at a glance

The timer opens as a small sheet over what you were doing, with hours and minutes up front. Tap the start time if you began earlier. Pause or stop it from the Lock Screen, and pull it up to see your day.
