TMetric

Time is a precious commodity when working on important projects with strict deadlines. If you want to know where all your time goes, TMetric can help you record it down to the last second. You can track your working time and breaks with a high degree of accuracy, manage your projects, generate detailed reports and more. The best part is that you don't have to waste any time with this action, so you can focus on your work, rather than how you time it. What's more, the software lets you track the time you spend working from anywhere in the world, due to its online functionality.

TMetric has several payment plans which depend on team size and how long you intend to use the service. However, a free version is available as well, which offers a baseline functionality. Downloading and installing the desktop application takes only a few seconds, and it doesn't involve any complicated settings. Apart from a working Internet connection, you don't have to meet any other special requirements.

The software has a clean and simple user interface, with clear and easy to spot options. You can start tracking right away, with a single click, which makes the interface minimize to the system tray. At this point, you can return to your normal activity and forget about the application because it will track your time quietly from the background. Stopping the tracking mechanism is just as easy. When you stop the timer, the application will create a new entry on its interface, which includes the task's name, start and end times, as well as its duration.

You can manually add new tasks to the list if you forget to start the timer, as well as breaks, with starting and ending times and their duration. Your tasks and breaks appear on the same list, but the application keeps everything neat and tidy by organizing the information by date, so you won't mix up any details. Furthermore, TMetric has a few other interesting features, like idle detection, which notifies you or stops the timer automatically if it doesn't detect any activity for a set amount of time.

You wouldn't be wrong if you'd say that the desktop application is a bit limited. However, you can find much more in terms of functionality online since TMetric comes as a web app first. The online interface is similar to the one on your desktop, but you can find additional options, for creating and managing projects, generating reports and tweaking your workspace. What's more, the program automatically synchronizes everything you do either on the web or desktop interface, which gives you more freedom. You can manage your projects and recorded time from anywhere in the world as long as you have an Internet connection.

With TMetric working on your computer, you will know precisely how much time you've spent working and charge your clients exactly what you deserve.
