Time Tracking

Track time on tasks with timers or manual entries

Time Tracking in Task Board

Task Board has built-in time tracking so you don't need a separate tool. Track time with the automatic timer or add entries manually. This is one of the key features that sets us apart from Trello.

Using the Timer

The timer is the easiest way to track time. It runs in the background while you work.

Click the "Start Timer" button in the task detail panel
A floating timer will appear in the corner of your screen
Work on your task - the timer runs automatically

Stopping a Timer

Click "Stop Timer"
Add a description of what you worked on (optional)
The time entry is saved automatically

Adding Time Manually

Forgot to start the timer? No problem. You can add time entries manually.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if I close my browser while a timer is running?

The timer continues running on our servers. When you log back in, you'll see the timer still running with the correct elapsed time. Simply stop it when you're done and the time will be logged accurately.

Can I run multiple timers at once?

You can only have one timer running at a time. Starting a timer on a new task will prompt you to stop the current one first. This ensures accurate time tracking without overlapping entries.

How do I track time for meetings or calls?

Create a task for the meeting or call, then either start the timer when the meeting begins, or add a manual time entry afterward with the meeting duration. Adding a description helps you remember what was discussed.

Can clients see my time entries?

By default, guests (clients) cannot see time entries on tasks. They can see task progress and leave comments, but time tracking data is only visible to team members with full access.

Is there a limit to how much time I can track?

No, there's no limit on time entries. Track as much time as you need across all your tasks and boards. Time tracking is included on both the free Solo plan and the Team plan.
