Timers and manual entries
Track live or add time after the fact — with pausing, multi-task splits, editing, and the slips ProjectPacer flags.
Time gets into ProjectPacer two ways: a live timer while you work, or a manual entry afterward. They produce the same kind of entry, so use whichever fits. Everything here happens on Track.
The running timer
The timer sits at the top of Track and follows you around — it also shows in the sidebar from every screen, so you always know it's going.
Click the project field and type to filter. Optionally add a description and, if you use them, a task (or several — see multi-task below).
It runs live and survives page changes, closed tabs, and overnight — until you stop it.
Pause freezes the elapsed time and resumes where it left off — good for interruptions you don't want counted. Stop ends the block and saves it.
Started working before choosing a project? Start the timer anyway and set the project when you stop. Better to catch the time than lose it.
Splitting time across tasks
Worked on a few tasks in one sitting? Attach multiple tasks to one entry and ProjectPacer splits the duration evenly across them on your reports — so a two-hour block across two tasks reads as an hour each, without you doing the math. Attaching several tasks at once is a desktop feature; on mobile an entry carries one task.
Add time manually
Forgot to hit start, or logging something from earlier?
On Track, choose + Add manually instead of starting the timer.
Enter a start and end time, pick the project, add a description. Times use your own time zone — set it in Preferences if it looks off.
It lands alongside your timed entries — once saved, there's no difference.
Editing and fixing
Click any entry to reopen the editor and change its project, description, or times — or delete it. (Whether time counts as billable is derived from the project's rates and engagement, not a per-entry switch.) Everything stays editable until a finished period is locked, an optional control that's off by default (see Timesheets & approvals).
Overlaps and duplicates are flagged from your existing entries — no setup. Catching a timer left running overnight needs an activity source connected. Either way, the flags show up under AI suggestions, not on this screen.
Break a project into trackable work and time against it directly.
