Common questions

Why is my dashboard empty?

A new account has no recorded work. Create a task and start its timer. Tasks with recorded time appear on the selected day's dashboard.

Do I need the Mac app?

No. You can track time in your browser. The optional Mac app adds a menu bar timer and inactivity handling.
