What the app covers
What it does not cover
The phone is for capture. The desk is for decisions.Signing in
It is the same account and the same workspace as the web app. Nothing to link, nothing to pair.
Your role, capabilities and supervision scope are identical to the web app. The
phone is a different window onto the same workspace, not a different set of
permissions.
How mobile fits the rest of TimeTracker
Everything you do on the phone goes through the same rules as the web app.
There is no separate mobile pathway that skips a check. A time entry made on your
phone is the same kind of record as one made at your desk.
Example
Sarah Lin spends Tuesday at Bluebird Coffee’s office.1
She starts a timer on the way in
Home screen, tap the task, start. The entry begins against Website Redesign.
2
She completes a task between meetings
Tasks screen, tap the circle. Priya gets the completion notification. Sarah
does not – she did it.
3
She files a parking expense
Expenses, new, photograph the receipt, submit. It reaches whoever can approve
her expenses.
4
She stops the timer at the station
Three hours. At 300 of billable value on the project.
5
She submits her week on Friday
From her laptop or her phone – whichever is nearer.
Permissions
Your permissions come from your role in the workspace, exactly as on the web.
If an app is turned off for the workspace, its screen is not available on the
phone either. See Apps and modules.
Location rules on mobile
If your workspace uses location rules, the phone is where place checks work best. A phone has real GPS; a laptop guesses from nearby Wi-Fi and is often far out. Checks made from the app are recorded the same way as web checks and are marked as coming from mobile in the activity log.Signing out
Settings → Log out. This signs you out of the app and clears any widget credentials stored on the device.Common questions
Where do I download it?
Where do I download it?
It is not published yet. There is no App Store or Google Play listing to point
you at.
Do I need a separate account?
Do I need a separate account?
No. Same account, same password, same workspace as the web app.
Can I approve timesheets on my phone?
Can I approve timesheets on my phone?
No. Approvals are on the web. The phone covers capture – time, tasks,
timecards, expenses and leave.
Can I run a timer on my phone and stop it on my laptop?
Can I run a timer on my phone and stop it on my laptop?
Yes. It is one timer on one account. Only one can run at a time, wherever you
started it.
Does the app work offline?
Does the app work offline?
It needs a connection to record and read your work. Anything already recorded
is safe.
Can I switch workspaces in the app?
Can I switch workspaces in the app?
Your current workspace is shown under Settings → Account. Workspace
switching is on the web at
/spaces. See
Switching workspaces.Troubleshooting
A screen I expect is missing. The app that owns it is switched off for your workspace, or your role does not include it. I cannot clock in. If your workspace uses location rules, you may be away from an approved network or place. The app tells you where you can clock in from. Nothing you have already tracked is affected. My timer will not start. Another timer is already running. Stop it first – only one runs at a time.Related guides
