Question 1

What is time tracking?

Time tracking is the practice of recording exactly how long you spend on tasks, projects, and activities, usually with a web app. It helps anyone — professionals, teams, students, or people tracking personal productivity — see where their time actually goes, prove their hours, and keep an accurate time log.

Question 2

How do I create a time log?

Accepted Answer

With Tyme you log your hours on a visual weekly calendar, organize them with projects and tags, then export a clean time log as a branded PDF or CSV in one click. No spreadsheets to maintain — the log is generated from the entries you already tracked.
