Good for tracking time accurately
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
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.
Pros
- tracks time spent on projects accurately.
- Allows me to download reports.
- Lets me know when the clock is still running after inactivity.
Cons
- When I forget to track a task, I wish it were easier to add the missing time manually. Not too difficult, but it could be easier.
Return on Investment
- makes it easier to track time.
