Tyme is a popular, legally compliant time-tracking tool for teams, freelancers, and self-employed professionals. Tyme lets you track your working hours for clients, projects, and tasks. You always have a clear overview of project performance, deadlines, and workload. With a clear focus on design and aesthetics, Tyme stands out from the crowd of time tracking apps. The goal: to make the stressful daily task of time tracking more enjoyable for you and your team. GDPR-compliant and legally compliant. We’re constantly improving Tyme and gradually adding new features. 1. Always Synced Across All Devices Tyme comes as a package for Mac, iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and as a web version. Your subscription automatically unlocks Tyme for all your devices. 2. Everything at a Glance The interface is designed to give you an overview of your tracked time, projects, budgets, and deadlines at all times. Unlogged time is displayed. Running timers are always visible and can be started or stopped using shortcuts without opening Tyme. 3. Visualized Data The detailed statistics give you an overview of your personal workload and that of your team. They show booked hours, current revenue, and overtime and undertime hours. Breaks are automatically tracked. 4. Widgets and Live Activities The widgets and live activities help you keep track of the hours logged for the day, week, or month at any time. You can also always see whether a timer is still running and when your workday ends. 5. Sync & Calendar Integration Tyme automatically syncs your data across all your devices and with your team. Thanks to calendar integration, you can view your time entries as calendar entries and edit them directly. 6. Reminders Did you forget to start the timer? Is a deadline coming up? Time for lunch? Have you reached your daily work hours? Did you forget to log your time? Use Tyme’s helpful reminders. 7. Task Types In addition to work hours, track travel expenses, other expenses, fixed amounts, flat rates, vacation time, and absences. 8. Export & Import You can export your tracked time as legally compliant PDF timesheets and project reports, or as CSV or JSON. If you want to bring in data from other apps, Tyme offers a CSV importer and various other importers. 9. Automatic Tracking Not in the mood to start a timer manually? Have your times recorded automatically by specifying where your workplace is. 11. Shortcuts & Automations With over 20 different shortcuts, you can automate your to-dos. Manage your projects and tasks, retrieve your Tyme data, and share it with other apps. 11. Apple Watch App With the Watch App you can stop and start timers and view your hours worked. 12.
