Time Tracking

Where the
week went.

Every task you have tracked time against gets a row, and its logged time lines up across the week beside it. Start a timer from wherever you already are, fix the record in a click, and read the whole week in one pass.

One row per task,
one week per glance

Time Tracking is a grid. Each task you have tracked sits in the Tracked column on the left, and every block of time logged against it lines up across the columns to the right. One row reads as one task's week.

Switch the period to Day, Week or Month. Month gives you a column per week. Hide the weekend if your weekend is your own.

Filter by client, project, label or assignee when you want to read one slice of it rather than all of it.

Start it from
wherever you are

Timers do not live on this page. Start one from the nav rail, from a task card as you hover it, or from inside the task itself. Wherever you already are, the timer is one click away.

Start a timer on a second task and MonoDesk switches you across rather than running two at once. There is only one of you.

Whatever is running shows up live on the grid while it runs, so the row you are filling in fills in front of you.

Eight hours later,
it asks

A timer left running through lunch, or through the night, is the oldest problem in time tracking. MonoDesk does not quietly keep counting, and it does not silently stop either.

After eight hours it asks whether you are still on it. If you forgot, it offers to stop the timer retroactively at a sensible earlier time, so the record gets corrected rather than binned.

Still on this one?

Your timer has been running 8h 04m.

Yes, keep going Stop it at 1:15 PM

Stopping retroactively trims the entry back to when you actually stopped, not when you noticed.

Click a cell,
fix the record

Any cell opens that task's entries for that day or week. Edit one, delete one, add one, and the row updates behind it.

Every column carries a Log time button that walks you through client, then project, then task. No timer required, and nothing to reconcile afterwards.

You can also pin a task as an empty row before it has any time on it at all, so the row is sitting there waiting for the work you know is coming.

On a phone,
you just say it

Tell your Co-Worker you did not log yesterday. It checks what is already recorded, reads your tasks, your schedule and your activity, and comes back with the entries written out: task, start time, duration.

You confirm, it logs. The grid is where you read the week back. Co-Worker is how you fill it in from a train, a client's reception, or the sofa at nine at night.

Your time, not a timesheet.

Time Tracking shows your own logged time. There is nothing to submit, nobody approving it, and no utilisation score at the end of it. Time entries do not carry a billable flag and do not feed invoices, so this is the honest record of where your week went rather than a billing system wearing a different hat.

the week actually went.
