WorkingHours • Time Tracker

This is the best time tracker I’ve ever found. I’ve been using it for years and love that it is not overcomplicated, yet still fully functional and effective. I’ve taken deep dives into countless time tracking apps, and I have never been able to stick with one until WorkingHours. All the features and bells and whistles make the other ones a job in itself to manage. I don’t have time for that. I just want to track my time and be done with it. My favorite feature of WorkingHours is that it incorporates the Pomodoro method. I have it set up so that I only work on one task for three Pomodoro’s. And then I switch to another task. It’s great for someone like me with ADHD who vacillates between not being able to start a project and then becoming completely lost in that project to where we lose track of time.

Two weeks into first using this app and I have already purchased it for my iPhone, my personal laptop, and my work laptop. I purchased through Apple Store, Microsoft Store, and Gumroad. I only mention this because my company laptop has disabled Microsoft Store, and I was very glad that I could still purchase and download the app through Gumroad, after checking out the developer’s website and seeing the link. So, thanks to the developer for making it easy to get the app through more secure avenues. I wrote two weeks ago I loved the multi-platform support and flawless syncing - I use iCloud - and I still do. I use this to track my project hours for work. I am in consulting so this is important. But I also use this to track other personal aspects of life and it’s been very interesting to see where my hours go. Also, I like the clean design of the app. Once you use it a bit and get how it all works, it’s a very efficient tool. And the tags allow you to set up various organization schemes.

When I was needing a time-keeping app a few years back, I spent months trying out 2 or 3 dozen apps before picking this as the one suited to my needs. It’s a great, user-friendly app with a nice selection of options. I do garage door installation and service, so I work for literally hundreds of clients and do multiple jobs of various types each day. It took me some time to figure out how it works best, but it handles my data well, and gives me accurate, customizable reports at the end of each pay period. Here are a few suggestions that, in my opinion would make “WorkingHours” even better: 1. Add a “change work“ or “change task“ button, which would stop the current work unit and start a new one. 2. Add the option of attaching a client to each work unit. Currently, I type the client’s name into the description field. This is working, but it would be much easier if I could select the clients name from an existing list. 3. Better yet, have an entire database for clients with phone numbers, emails, addresses, notes, etc. for each one I make the suggestions with the faith that such a great app has a great team of developers behind it that are looking for ways to improve their app. Hoping that some of these fit into your plans for “WorkingHours”. 👍🏽 keep up the great work! Cheers!
