Timers

A timer records time as you work instead of typing it in afterward. Time Trakkr keeps one timer running at a time, and you can control it from anywhere in the app.

Starting and stopping from the sidebar

Near the top of the left sidebar is the Timer button.

1. Select Timer to open the timer popover.
2. The popover is headed Start timer. Pick a project and task, then select Start timer.
3. While it runs, the popover header changes to Timer running and the sidebar button shows a running state.
4. Select Stop timer to finish. The elapsed time is written to your timesheet as an entry.

On a phone, the same timer control sits in the top bar so it is always within reach.

Starting and stopping from the day view

You can also run a timer straight from an entry in Day view of your timesheet.

1. Open Day view.
2. On an entry row, select Start to begin timing that project and task.
3. Select Stop on the running row when you are done.

In Week and Calendar views, a banner reading "Timer running since" shows when the current timer began.

Duration mode versus start-and-end mode

How you enter time by hand is set for the whole workspace by an administrator under Settings, in the Timer mode option. There are two choices:

• Track time via duration (the default). You type a duration such as 1:30 or 1.5 into a single field.
• Track time via start & end. You enter a Start time and an End time, and the duration is worked out for you.

Only an owner or admin can change this, and it applies to everyone in the workspace. Whichever mode is active, a running timer still records real elapsed time; the setting only governs how manual entries are typed.

Rounding

Your workspace can round tracked time up to a fixed increment. An administrator controls this under Settings with the Time rounding (minutes, 0 = none) option.

• When it is set to 0, no rounding is applied and your time is recorded exactly.
• When it is set to a number of minutes, entries are rounded up to that increment. The settings summary shows this as, for example, "Round up to 15 minutes."

Because rounding always rounds up, a short entry never disappears to zero. If your recorded time looks larger than the raw elapsed time, workspace rounding is the likely reason. Ask an administrator what increment your workspace uses.
