TMetric

Timer and timeline

Track time with a timer or add it by hand, organize entries with tags, and review the day on a timeline. Idle detection and an offline mode are part of the feature list.

Timer button in web apps

Browser extensions for Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari and Opera add a TMetric timer button inside more than 50 web apps, such as Jira, Asana and GitHub.

Billing and invoicing

Professional adds billable rates, expenses, project budgets with alerts, time rounding and invoices for clients built from tracked time.

Team timesheets and time off

Business adds team timesheets alongside a Time Off module for requesting and tracking leave. Professional includes a personal timesheet view.

Activity monitoring

On Business, managers can turn on app and site monitoring, screenshot capturing and activity tracking for the team, with notifications as events happen.

Reports

Reports summarize time by project, task, team member and app usage. Exportable project reports are part of the free plan.

Toggl

Timers and manual entries

Start a timer, log hours afterwards or fill in a week at a time. Idle detection prompts you when the timer is running but the device has gone quiet.

Automated tracking

Toggl can record which apps and sites you used and lay them out on a private timeline. You decide which of them become time entries.

Focus mode and Pomodoro

Timed work sprints with a Pomodoro timer, plus reminders when logged time is under or over a threshold you set.

Billing and profitability

Billable rates by workspace, member or project start on Starter. Premium adds labor costs, fixed fee projects and reports on revenue, cost and margin.

Capacity and project planning

Tasks sit on boards, lists, timelines and calendars with estimates against tracked time. Utilization and workload reports account for time off and working hours.

Toggl AI

Ask in plain language about hours logged or projects over estimate, or have it log time and create tasks. An MCP server and CLI connect Toggl to Claude, Cursor or Codex.
