with care for Time

The problem of fragmented data and its solution

Imagine a typical situation: an employee keeps a list of tasks in one application (for example, Trello or Asana), and time tracking in another (for example, Toggl). At the end of the day or week, they have to manually match completed items with hours spent. This process:

• Takes time: The manual time tracking procedure itself can take up to 30 minutes per day.
• Contains errors: Human memory is selective, leading to inaccurate data in reports.
• Doesn't provide a complete picture: The manager sees tasks and sees the total number of hours, but cannot instantly draw a clear connection between them.

This approach is no longer viable for teams striving for maximum efficiency. We need an effort analysis tool that initially combines both functionalities.

Integrated approach to time management

This is not just two modules working side by side. This is a deeply integrated solution where time tracking and task management are parts of a single whole. In such a system, you don't need to switch between tabs to start a timer. You simply start working on a task, and the system automatically records this fact and starts automatic time tracking.

Key principles of operation:

• Unified space: You create a project, break it down into specific tasks, and each of them has a built-in tracking tool.
• Automation: Time tracking in the task manager happens either with one click (start/stop timer) or completely automatically based on activity in the task (in advanced versions). This is automatic time tracking in action.
• Data binding: Every second recorded by the system is immediately linked to a specific task, project and performer. This completely eliminates the question "how to count time by tasks?".

Such online task time tracking turns the abstract "worked on the project" into specific numbers and facts.

Key business benefits

Automation and elimination of human factor

The main advantage is the elimination of routine. No more trying to remember at the end of the day how much time was spent writing a report or fixing a bug. Automatic time tracking does it for you. You get clean, objective data that you can rely on when planning a project budget and calculating wages (for hourly pay). This is perfect time tracking for freelancers and contractors who need to accurately bill clients.

Deep analytics and transparent reporting

When all data is collected in one system, endless possibilities for analysis open up. Our tool for tracking time by projects generates detailed reports that answer critically important questions:

• What are the real efforts? (Task completion time reports show which tasks take the most resources).
• Are we within budget? (Analysis of time spent on a project allows comparing planned and actual indicators).
• What is the team's productivity? (Team productivity dashboard visualizes workload, time distribution and identifies bottlenecks.

Such time statistics in projects is not a tool for punishment, but a powerful source of data for making informed management decisions and optimizing time at work.

Focus on specific roles and tasks

The system is universal, but especially valuable for certain user categories:

• Time tracker for developers: Allows accurately estimating time for feature implementation, bug fixes and code review. This is invaluable for accurate sprint planning and development cost estimation.
• Time tracking for freelancers: Gives the ability to prove to the client how much time was spent on work and automatically generate a transparent invoice.
• Time control for remote teams: Provides transparency of working hours without micromanagement. The manager sees progress on tasks, rather than monitoring every employee movement.
• Work time tracking for managers: Helps understand how much time is actually taken up by meetings, administrative work and approvals to reduce time losses.

Free plan and accessibility

We believe that such a powerful tool should be available to everyone. Our basic version is a fully functional free time tracker with tasks. You get the ability to track time and tasks for free, without restrictions on the number of projects or usage period. This is the perfect way to test the approach and implement a time tracking culture in your team without financial risks.

Practical implementation example

Let's consider a real example. A team of 5 developers starts using a unified time and task tracking system for a new project.

• Planning: The manager creates the "Mobile App Development" project and breaks it down into tasks: "Authorization implementation", "Main screen creation", "API integration".
• Work: The developer starts working on the "Authorization implementation" task. They open it in the system and click "Start". Automatic time tracking begins.
• Analytics: At the end of the sprint, the manager opens task completion time reports. They see that "API integration" took 40% more time than planned. This is not a reason for reprimand, but a signal for action: perhaps the API documentation was incomplete or unexpected technical difficulties arose.
• Result: The team gets objective data to improve personal efficiency and more accurately plan the next sprints. Transparency of working hours becomes the basis for healthy discussions and continuous process improvement.

From time tracking to efficiency management

Modern business requires modern solutions. A time tracker integrated with a task tracker is not just a program for tracking working time, it is a strategic tool for effort analysis and increasing the overall efficiency of the company. It closes "blind spots" in project management, provides data for decision-making and helps teams consciously manage their time.

Don't waste any more minutes on inefficient practices. Start using our free online time tracker and see how a unified time and task tracking system can improve your workflows, providing the transparency and analytical foundation that was missing for a real breakthrough in productivity.
