You can belong to as many workspaces as you like with one login. An agency and a side business. Your own company and a client’s, if they invited you. Your identity is the same everywhere. Your role is not.

​
The space picker

When you sign in, TimeTracker works out where to send you. The picker lives at /spaces. You can return to it any time to change workspace.
If the destination is unambiguous, TimeTracker skips the picker entirely. Belonging to one workspace should not cost you a click every morning.

​
Switching inside the app

Use the workspace switcher in the sidebar. Pick another workspace and you land in it, with that workspace’s data, that workspace’s settings and your role there. Nothing carries across. A timer running in one workspace is not running in the other.

​
Your role can differ in each

This is the part that surprises people. Maya is the Owner of Northwind Studio. She is also a Member of a client’s workspace, because they invited her to track time on a joint project. Same login. Same name and avatar. Completely different permissions on each side. So if a feature is missing after you switch, check your role in that workspace before assuming something is broken. See roles and permissions.

​
Team member or client contact?

There are two very different ways to be in a workspace. TimeTracker knows which you are and sends you to the right place automatically. A client contact never lands in the internal app, and cannot reach it by editing the URL. See what clients can see.
It is possible to be both – a colleague at one company and a client contact at another. The picker shows both, and each takes you to the right kind of screen.

What is shared and what is not

See your profile.

​
When a workspace disappears from your list

A workspace stops appearing if:
  • You left it
  • You were removed from it
  • It was deleted by its Owner
In each case you land on the picker with a note explaining what happened, rather than an error you have to guess at. If you think it is a mistake, ask an Owner or Admin of that workspace – nobody else can restore your access.

​
Creating another workspace

From the switcher, choose Create workspace. You become its Owner. Remember that each workspace has its own subscription and its own seat count. Two workspaces means two bills. See seats. Before you create one, check you actually need it – most reasons people give are better solved with projects or groups inside a single workspace. See workspaces.

​
Common questions

Yes. One login can belong to many workspaces, with a different role in each.
No. Time entries belong to the workspace they were recorded in. Stop the timer before you switch, or it keeps running where you left it.
They belong to one workspace, so there is nothing to choose. You belong to several.
If you belong to one, you always go straight there. With several, the picker lets you choose each time.
Contact an Owner or Admin of that workspace. Only they can invite you back. Your tracked hours stayed with the workspace.
Not automatically. Contact support before you build up more history in both.
