How to use TempusLog

Short how-tos for the things people ask most. Can't find it? Email contact@mile.dev.

Start a timer

  1. Open Track. In the bar at the top, type what you are working on.
  2. Pick a project (and a task or tags if you use them). The $ button marks the time as billable.
  3. Press Start. The timer keeps running when you close the tab or switch devices.
  4. Press Stop when you are done. Timers shorter than a minute are discarded, with an Undo.

Add time afterwards

  1. Type a duration in the timer field, like 1h30, 90m, 1.5 or 1:30, and press Add.
  2. Or switch the bar to Manual entry (the list icon next to the timer) to set the date, start and end.
  3. On the calendar, drag over empty time to add an entry, or drag an entry to move it.
  4. After you add one, the next entry starts where it ended, with the same length.

Change or delete an entry

  1. Click any part of an entry and change it. It saves as soon as you leave the field.
  2. On a phone, tap the entry to open it, then change it or tap Delete.
  3. The play button on a past entry is Track again: a new timer with the same task.

Invite your team

  1. Open Team and use Invite people. Add one or more email addresses.
  2. Each person gets an email and joins with Google or a password.
  3. Admins manage everything except owner-only actions. Members log their own time on the projects they can access.

Choose who sees a project

  1. Open Projects, then the project, then Access.
  2. Add people (also people who haven't accepted their invite yet) and remove them any time.
  3. Owners and admins can make someone a Project admin: they manage the project's Members and log time for them.
  4. To log time for someone, press the initials button at the end of the Track bar's buttons and pick them. It turns sand colored and the calendar shows their time until you go back to yours.

Reports and exports

  1. Open Reports. Summary groups time by project, client, person, task or tag. Detailed lists every entry.
  2. Pick a range (This week, Last month, This year, or Custom) and filter by person, client, project, task, tag or billable.
  3. Press Export CSV or Export PDF. The export uses the same range and filters.

Import from Clockify

  1. Open Settings, then Import from Clockify (owner and admins only).
  2. Paste a Clockify API key, or upload a Detailed report CSV.
  3. Step by step with screenshots: Import from Clockify.
