How to use the timer

4 min read·Beginner

The timer lets you track time live as you work, then saves it as a time entry automatically, so nothing gets forgotten. Here is how to use it.

  1. Find the timer

    Look for the clock icon in the top header bar. It is on every page, so you can reach it wherever you are working.

  2. Open it

    Click the clock icon to open the timer.

  3. Choose what you are working on

    Pick the job for billable work, or choose a non-billable reason if the time will not be invoiced.

  4. Start

    Add a note if you like, then click Start. The timer counts up live as you work.

  5. Stop when you finish

    Open the timer again and click Stop.

  6. Save your time

    Check the details, mark it billable if needed, then choose Save & Close, or Save & Start New to begin another. Your time is saved as a time entry.

Tip: You can also start a timer from a task, and it will be linked to that task. Stopped time shows up in Time Entries automatically, ready for invoicing.

What's next

Once your time is tracked, you can log more against a job, turn it into an invoice, or report on where the hours went.
