Time Tracker is a time accounting tool, designed for personal use. This app does not connect to any web service, accounts or subscriptions to operate. Just start it up, set up projects, and start tracking time against them. • Tap On / Tap Off Simple Start / Stop action will allow you account for your time to the minute. • Projects and Tasks Got a client who needs billable hours and non-billable hours? Want to track your time spent on proposals separately from the project? or maybe just track how long you weeding on your gardening project? Projects and Tasks allow you to account for the various activities within a project. • Tickets Need to package up your work into smaller parts? or, perhaps you use some other task management system? Tickets allow you to set up a project / task combination, and attach a work description to them. Ticket Identifiers can match your other systems for easy data transfer, if that's what you're in to. You can even just "tick off" a task when its done, and move on to the next. • Quotas Promised that you would put a certain amount of time into something, but never seem to find the time to do it? Need to ensure that you meet a number of billable hours in your week? Quotas can help you here. Quotas are shown on the main dashboard as a progress bar that will help you achieve your goals, or in some cases not go over them. Simply set up a quota with a project and task combination, then you can start and stop time against it to fill the progress bar. Pre-plan your time, using quotas to specify weekly, monthly, or annual goals • Exportable Reports Did we mention that this was a standalone app, for personal use only? Still need to fill in your timesheet somewhere else? All reports have export options that will allow you to send data using common standards such as CSV or PDF. This allows you to communicate what you need want with other apps and web services accurately and quickly. Filtering your reports will also filter the exported data, so if need to send different reports to different places, just filter the information and send it off.
