How it works
& why you should switch to My Hours

Time tracking was a pain. We fixed it and made time tracking worth the effort.

Timesheet view

Fill a spreadsheet‑style grid when the day or week is done.

Weekly timesheet time tracking
  • Use weekly timesheet
  • Enter hours manually
  • Bulk‑edit logs
  • Copy last week
  • Submit timesheet manually or automatically
  • View budget spent
Move across rows with arrow keys, and press Tab to fill an entire week quickly.

Timer & daily view

Track work as it happens with a running stopwatch and a visual timeline of the day.

Stopwatch and timer
  • Clock in & out
  • View day timeline
  • Pause or resume
    • Duplicate or restart timer
    • Use quick‑start presets
    Start a timer on your phone and watch it tick in the desktop app instantly.

    Log details

    Add context that turns hours into usable data.

    • Choose a task (optional)
    • Add descriptions
    • Attach files
      • Tag entries

      • Mark time as billable or non-billable
      Drag a file onto the sheet to attach it to the active row.

      Excel import

      Upload your own spreadsheet and let My Hours read it. The import engine maps dates and links entries to the right projects before you confirm.

      Import data to My Hours with Excel
      • Upload XLS timesheet
      • Detect day names and turn them into dates
      • Match client, project, and task columns
        • Ask for clarification on unknown values
        • Preview and approve the import
        Bring your own timesheet—drag and drop the file to import all hours in one go.

        Projects

        Organize your work into projects that mirror your actuall workflow.

        Manage projects
        • Create unlimited projects
        • Create clients as folders for projects
        • Import multi-level hierarchy

        Create a new project—complete with pre‑made tasks—right from the tracker.

        Task lists

        Put work into clear buckets so every hour has a home and a manager.

        Manage tasks
        • Create unlimited tasks
        • Add task lists that can be marked complete
        • Assign users to projects & tasks
        • Define templates for recurring tasks
        • Assign custom IDs & fields
        Create a new project—complete with pre‑made tasks—right from the tracker.

        Budgets & limits

        Stay on target by setting hours or money caps for every project or task.

        Manage budgets and limits

          Set capacity targets
          • Set target hours per user, per day or week
          • Validate timesheets before submission
          • Run missing-hours report
            • Send email reminders when users are under or over their targets
            Managers receive a weekly email with a list of users that who not yet submitted their timesheets.

            Rates & billing

            Convert time to money with rates that adapt to each scenario.

            • Mark projects or tasks non-billable
            • Maintain rate history
            • Calculate billable amount & profitability
            • Auto-round billable time
            If you update a rate today, past logs retain their original calculations.

            Expenses

            Log costs next to hours so reports tell the full story.

                      Team management

                      Organize people and give managers the access they need—nothing more.

                      Team management
