Toggl Track

I have only a few clients that I do hourly work for. I use the Toggl Track desktop app to help me track the actual time spent on those projects. What I like is that if I am inactive on my computer for a while it gives me a popup where I can choose to discard the time since I was last active or keep it. Reduces a lot of the guesswork and increases accuracy so I know I am charging fairly.

• makes it easier to track time.

I use Toggl Track to keep track of time for myself and my employees. We all work remotely and this software allows us to log our time and have it all sync in a central location. The desktop and mobile apps and ability to easily adds projects and tasks make it very user friendly.

• Makes it easy to enter time with a timer or manually
• Easily generates reports based on time period, user, client, project, etc.
• Simplifies time reporting

I use Toggl Track not only to track my hourly rate clients but also how long I spend on each task so that I can price my services accordingly. I love their reporting feature and the fact that you can track/organize clients, projects, and specific tasks.

• More accurately tracking my time means more accurate and increased revenue!

I use Toggl as a project manager to track where my time is being spent, as well as the time of my production team. While we are an in-house communication team, we have a variety of departments we serve; so Toggle helps us track time spent for each client and on different types of projects. Leadership occasionally asks for status reports on where our time is going, and the tool gives clear metrics as to how our time is spent.

• Detailed reports.
• Project segmentation.
• Client segmentation.
• Robust tags.
• Highly intuitive and user-friendly.

• Increased productivity by 30%. I get so much more done with Toggl.
• Increased accountability. Team members can see where their time is going throughout the day.
• Increased awareness of task distribution. We can see where our time is going more efficiently and make corresponding personnel or project management decisions.
