A local-first single-user time tracker with compact expandable UI, fast task switching, and practical reporting.
TimeTracker is built for freelancers, consultants, contractors, and independent professionals who need to track their time without the complexity of enterprise systems. Define your tasks, track time quickly, switch between tasks cleanly, and produce reports for day, week, month, project history, and contract support—all locally, with no cloud dependencies.
Designed for efficiency, reliability, and privacy. Everything runs locally on your machine.
Start or switch tasks instantly from a compact rapid task bar. Minimal friction means you focus on work, not data entry.
Separate Current Task window and Pill window with intelligent docking. Position them anywhere on your screen for optimal workflow.
Organize tasks in a hierarchical structure with recursive reporting. Perfect for project → sub-project → task workflows.
Generate daily, weekly, monthly, and project history reports. Three detail levels: totals only, summary, or detailed segments with export to Excel and PDF.
All data stored locally in SQLite. No cloud sync, no server dependencies, no privacy concerns. Your data stays with you.
Built-in orphaned segment detection ensures your time tracking data is never lost, even if the application crashes unexpectedly.
TimeTracker operates in two main phases designed for maximum efficiency.
Define your tasks and organize them in a hierarchical tree structure. Decide which tasks should appear in the rapid task bar at startup for quick access. Assign colors to tasks for visual recognition and easier identification while tracking.
Track time with minimal friction. Start, pause, resume, or switch tasks instantly. The UI stays compact and non-intrusive, letting you focus on your work. Access reports whenever you need them for billing, contract support, or work history.
Five specialized windows designed to minimize intrusion while maximizing productivity.
A small, always-on-top window showing the currently running or paused task with explicit control buttons (Stop, Pause/Resume). Docks to top or bottom screen edges only, maintaining horizontal orientation for readability.
A small, dockable window containing the rapid task bar. Can dock to any screen edge and adjusts orientation accordingly. Shows task pills with visual hierarchy offsets for parent-child relationships.
A standard desktop window for task configuration, hierarchy management, and application settings. Opens on demand for setup and adjustments.
A standard desktop window for generating and viewing reports. Supports task selection for client-based billing, duration rounding, and multiple detail levels.
Built with modern, efficient technologies for performance and reliability.
