Your Dashboard: Focused and Functional

The dashboard is your home base for productivity. The Today View displays your ongoing tasks, total tracked hours, and activity timeline. You can easily start or stop timers, add time entries manually, and rearrange your day by dragging and dropping tasks. It’s designed to help you stay organized and focused on what matters most.

Whether you’re logging billable work or simply keeping tabs on productivity, this feature helps you stay in control, minute by minute.

Smart Time Tracking with AutoTrack

AutoTrack acts as your built-in productivity assistant by automatically logging app and website usage in the background—no manual input needed. This is especially useful for professionals who juggle multiple tasks or tools. Best of all, all activity logs are private and visible only to you. You can review your tracked activity at any time to precisely fill in time gaps. To enable AutoTrack, head to the settings menu and customize which apps or windows you want to monitor.

Create, Organize, and Manage Tasks

Creating and organizing tasks is intuitive within the app. By clicking “+ New Task,” you can quickly add new tasks and assign them to specific projects. Each task can be enhanced with due dates, time estimates, tags, and collaborators. You can also view tasks by project or sort them by date to keep everything streamlined.

Visualize Your Workday

The app’s visual timeline provides an at-a-glance view of how your day unfolds. You can see exactly what you’ve worked on, compare actual time worked to your scheduled hours, and identify any gaps, overlaps, or potential bottlenecks in your workflow. This visual feedback helps fine-tune your daily routines and improves time management.

Sync Across All Devices

Whether you’re at your desk or on the move, TrackingTime keeps everything in sync. All data is automatically synchronized with the web and mobile apps, allowing you to start a task on your desktop and finish it on your phone. Your updates, reports, and logs stay consistent and accessible across all platforms.

Reports and Insights

For deeper insights, use the in-app summary or access full reports via the web app. You can track billable hours, export timesheets, and analyze productivity trends for yourself or your team. This feature is especially useful for freelancers, agencies, and managers who rely on accurate time data for reporting and decision-making.
