Mobile App

This topic describes how to use a TMetric app for tracking time on mobile devices: either a mobile phone or a tablet device. You will learn the basics of mobile time tracking with TMetric, what features the mobile app includes and why to choose it for tracking your work time.

TMetric mobile application allows you to track time from anywhere and at any time. This can be quite convenient for those who work remotely or when you are out of the office (at the meeting, conference, etc.)

With a mobile app, you can perform the following actions: create an account, log in to TMetric, start/stop a timer, see an active timer running, fix a timer, switch workspaces, add/edit a time entry, create a project, add breaks, use team view to monitor your team, create reports, and much more. 

Install the TMetric app for Android or the TMetric app for iOS on your phone or a tablet device and track time on the go. The time recorded on the mobile app is automatically synced to the web app and vice versa. Just swipe down to refresh the screen content.

When you click the Start timer button, you will see the Start New Time Entry window. Here you can select a task (or create a new one), a project, add tags and descriptions, and set the start time for your time entry. Click the Start button, and your work time will begin to be recorded by the app.

The green play button will change to the red one. You can stop the timer by clicking this button.

Here you can change the task, select another project the task belongs to, set the start and end time for a task, add the task description, and add tags. Tap Save when finished.
