Hours

Hours is a private log of time worked and what it earned. Each entry is one block of time on one project, on one day.

Hours keeps its own projects, separate from the Projects boards. A board is a place for cards, and it can be shared. An hours project exists to carry an hourly rate and, optionally, the company the work is billed to. Pointing the two at the same list would hand a guest your rate card.

Nothing here appears in cheat search, and there is no revision history to open.

A project

A project has a name, an optional company, and an hourly rate in a currency. The rate is copied onto every entry at the moment you save it.

Changing the rate prices the hours you log after that. It does not rewrite a total you have already recorded. Editing a rate, archiving a project, and deleting a project stay on this page for that reason. Deleting a project takes the hours logged against it with it.

Archiving hides a project from the picker and from the lists you choose from. Every hour already logged against it still counts toward every tally. Archiving is how you retire a client without erasing the history.

An archived project still uses the Free project slot.

An entry

An entry is a day, a project, a duration, and a short note. Duration is in quarter-hour steps: 0, 15, 30, or 45 minutes past the hour, and at least 15 minutes.

The day is the calendar day you pick. Weeks, months, and years in the totals are UTC, and a week starts on Monday. A day does not slide when the server's timezone and yours disagree.

Correcting an entry can fix the note or the duration. The rate on that entry stays the rate it was saved at.

Totals and the timesheet

The page tallies today, this week, this month, this year, and all time, in both time and earnings.

Export a timesheet PDF for one company over any date range. The wording is an optional template on the page: a title, a header, an intro, a footer, and whether to show amounts. Clearing the template returns the built-in sheet. The template is account-wide, the same way the Dues reminder letter is.

From an assistant

search_hour_projects, search_hour_entries, and get_hours_summary read. add_hour_project, add_hour_entry, update_hour_entry, and delete_hour_entry write. Writing needs Pro.

An assistant can log time, correct an entry, delete one, and add a project. It cannot change a rate, archive a project, or delete a project.

Plans

Free can keep one board and 5 entries. Pro removes both caps. See Plans.

  • Projects for the board, which does not carry rates.
  • Dues when the same client owes you a bill rather than an hour.
