1. Web app and Smartphone Apps

 
timr basically consists of two elements, the web application and the app on the smartphone. We recommend to use the web application in the office and the app on the phone during business trips or field services. The web application and the mobile clients are always in sync automatically. 
 
The apps offer limited administration features, such as adding new tasks. For extensive analysis, as well as full administration (adding users, customizing the project structure), we recommend using the timr web application. It is more comfortable to do analysis and administrative tasks with the timr web application. The apps are perfect to easily track your time on the go.
 
The timr Android and iOS app are available as offline apps. This way you and your employees can track time anytime and everywhere. As soon as you have a connection again, the app is synced automatically with the web application. 
 
 

2. Your account and login data

 

2.1. Your timr URL

During the setup of your timr account you have chosen an account name which is used as part of your timr URL. You can access your timr account any time using this URL. Here is an example for what this URL looks like: 

  • acme.timr.com

We recommend bookmarking your timr URL in order to access your account easily any time. 

Note: This timr URL is the starting point for all users registered in your timr account. 

 

2.2. Login data

Each user you add to your timr account is given a personal login and password. These are used for accessing timr via the timr URL.

2.3. Accessing timr via the timr App on your smartphone

In order to use the timr App on your smartphone you have to connect the app with your timr account. For this you have to enter your timr URL and your personal login data once when setting up the app. 

Afterwards you are connected permanently and can track your time or your trips any time. 

You'll only need the timr URL and your login data again if you accidentely have logged out.  

 
 

3. The 3 timr features

The timr mobile apps as well as the web application offer three main features: "working time", "project time" and "drive log/mileage tracking". 

You can use all 3 features at once. However, if you don't need all features it's possible to hide unused features.

3.1. Working time

timr is used like a digital stopwatch. You press "start" when you start working and "stop" when you go home, the total "working time" is tracked, no matter where you are currently located, on a business trip or in the office. The time clock is always with you and it is not necessary to collect the data later. You find all details about tracking your working time in timr in the guide about working time tracking.

3.2. Project Time

Parallel to the "working time", the "project time" can be recorded. The tracked "working time" shows how long you have worked in one day, for example 8 hours. 
The tracked "project time" shows in detail what you have done during these 8 hours, how much time you spent on which activity, which project, which task.

"Tasks" can be defined in the administration tab and can represent clients, projects, assignments, customer meetings, as well as internal activities (organization, support, and so on).
 
You find all details about tracking your project time in timr in the guide about project time tracking.

3.3. Mileage tracking (drive log)

You can also track your mileage using the timr drive log. With this feature you do not need an extra program to track your cars and its use. You can capture all "cars" and their respective information and data in this feature. If necessary, you select the "car", check the current "mileage" and press "Start" to start tracking, when you're back, press the "Stop" button and insert the "end-mileage".
 
You find all details about tracking your mileage in timr in the guide about mileage tracking.
