Time Tracker – Description and User Manual
Overview
The Time Tracker was designed to simplify how you organize and monitor your daily activities. Whether you’re a freelancer, project manager, or independent professional, this tool ensures that every minute worked is accurately tracked.
The clear interface allows you to start, pause, and finish tasks with just a few clicks, while graphs and reports help you understand how your time is being distributed. This makes it easier to identify areas needing more attention or adjust priorities as demand shifts.
Ideal for those seeking more control over their routine, the Time Tracker promotes productivity without complications. By visualizing the hours dedicated to each client or project, you can also generate accurate reports for tracking or invoicing purposes.
The use of the Time Tracker is completely free. This means you can use it without limitations to organize your time and tasks.

Enjoy the tool to its fullest, with no costs or subscriptions, while maintaining complete control over your data.
