Time tracking

You need Time tracking: Operate. Client-portal users only get this if the client has allow time tracking on.

Start a live timer

You can run up to 10 timers at once.

1. Sidebar Start timer, or the timer on a task / Home.
2. Search or filter by project, pick a task you can work, and start. Double-click a task to start immediately. Your last three open timers appear at the top as Recent timers — click one to start.
3. The header shows live time while timers run.
4. Pause keeps the task in progress. Stop saves time and asks if the task is done. Pause all on Home stops every live timer.

The timer only starts on tasks you can work (assignees and project admins). Long task names on the Home timer card truncate; use the project button or Mark done without opening the task.

Manual entries

1. Open the task.
2. Under time entries, Add time manually.
3. Enter duration and submit Add time.

Approvals

If the project auto-approves time, entries that still fit quoted hours are approved immediately. Time over the quote stays pending. Home shows pending approval.

People with Time approval / project-member operate can Approve or Reject on the task’s time list.

Bill and cost amounts use Finance rates and the project’s financial settings.

Hour caps

Free plans cap hours per month (UTC). When you hit the cap, new timers and entries are blocked until the next period or you upgrade. Quoted hours on a project show as usage on the project header.
