General

What is TimeLogging?
TimeLogging is automatic time tracking software for teams, employees and freelancers. It records the time you spend actively working on your computer and turns it into weekly timesheets, project reports, cost analysis, invoices and productivity insights. There are no timers to start or stop.
How does automatic time tracking work?
TimeLogging runs in the background on your desktop and records active computer work, including the apps and websites you use. When you stop interacting with your computer for a while, the inactivity threshold ends tracking until you return. The result is a timesheet that fills itself in, grouped by person and project. No manual timer is required.
Who is TimeLogging for?
TimeLogging is for employers who need project time and cost visibility, freelancers who need shareable timesheets and invoices, and employees who want an accurate record of their work. Employers can analyse projects and teams, freelancers can share a timesheet link and generate a PDF invoice, and employees can review their activity before it is shared.
How much does TimeLogging cost?
The Employer and Freelancer plans are both €4.99 per user per month. The Employer plan is 50% off its €9.99 list price, and the Freelancer plan is 61% off its €12.99 list price. Every new account starts with a free 4-week trial and no credit card is required.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. TimeLogging includes a free 4-week trial for new accounts. You can try the desktop tracker, timesheets, project analytics and invoicing before choosing a paid plan. No credit card is required to start.
Which platforms does TimeLogging support?
TimeLogging has desktop apps for Windows, macOS and Linux. There is no mobile tracking app yet. You can open the web app on a phone or tablet to manage projects, review timesheets, edit settings and generate invoices.
Does TimeLogging track everything I do?
No. TimeLogging only records time when you are actively working on your computer. It does not log keystrokes. It records app and website usage, activity level and periodic screenshots so the timesheet is accurate. The data is encrypted and visible only to you and your employer.
What data does TimeLogging collect?
TimeLogging collects the data needed to produce timesheets and reports: tracked time, the apps and websites used, activity level and screenshots. It does not collect keystrokes or other sensitive personal data. The privacy policy explains the full data set, retention and deletion rights.
What is the inactivity threshold?
The inactivity threshold is the period of no computer activity after which TimeLogging stops counting time. It is based on your activity pattern, so idle time is not reported as work.
Can I use TimeLogging on multiple computers?
Yes, you can install TimeLogging on multiple computers, but only one session can track time at once. Start a session on another computer, or terminate the current session from the web app when the first computer is unattended.
Does TimeLogging support GDPR requests?
TimeLogging publishes a privacy policy that explains what data is collected, why it is collected, how long it is retained and how to exercise access and deletion rights. For a GDPR question or data request, contact support@timelogging.app.

Employer

Why can't I see my employee's timesheet for the current day?
Because TimeLogging values employee privacy, employers see completed days only. The current day appears in the weekly timesheet the following day, after the employee has reviewed and ended the day. Employees can delete unwanted activities or screenshots before sharing the day with their employer.
Can I delete a project?
No, projects cannot be deleted. You can edit project details and settings, or inactivate a project to stop tracking it. The project name cannot be changed because it is used in timesheets and reports.
Can employers see employee screenshots?
Employers see the completed timesheet and activity data that the employee has reviewed and shared. Employees can delete unwanted screenshots before ending the day. Employers see completed days only; the current day appears the following day.
How do employees share timesheets with employers?
Employees end their day in the desktop app after reviewing their activity. Completed days appear in the employer weekly timesheet the following day. Employers can review hours, projects, activity and costs without asking for a manual update.

Employee

I forgot to stop the timer. What should I do?
You do not need to stop a timer. TimeLogging only counts time when you are actively working on your computer, and the inactivity threshold stops counting when you step away. When you finish work, simply end your day so your timesheet is ready to share.
I left my computer somewhere else and now I am working from another computer. How do I start tracking?
You can terminate the session manually from the TimeLogging website. Open the projects page and click Terminate. This stops the old session so you can start a new session from the computer you are using now. Termination is only allowed when the original computer is unattended.
Can my employer watch my screen all day?
TimeLogging is not live screen monitoring. It records activity in the background. Employers see the completed day in the timesheet after the employee ends and reviews it, and employees can remove unwanted screenshots before the day is shared.
Do I need to start tracking when I begin work?
No. TimeLogging starts recording automatically when you begin working on your computer. There is no timer to start or stop, so you can focus on your work and review the generated timesheet later.

Freelancer

How do I share a timesheet with a client?
TimeLogging generates a read-only link for each weekly timesheet. Send that link to your client so they can see the days, hours and totals for the project without needing a TimeLogging account.
Can I create invoices from tracked time?
Yes. Turn your tracked hours into a PDF invoice in one click. Each invoice links back to the shared timesheet so the client can see the proof behind every line.
What can clients see in a shared timesheet?
A shared timesheet shows the days, hours and totals for the project you send. Clients do not get access to your TimeLogging account, projects or settings.
