TimeIT is a time tracker that works quietly with minimal/none interaction while registering the time you are spending on multiple projects.

It features:

• Manual time tracking.
• Automatic time tracking (through workspace tracking).
• Multiple timers running at the same time. Example "I am at work" and "I work with X"
• Idle detection.
• Unobtrusive
  • Runs in background.
  • Status Icon in the system tray.
• Distributed database
  • Synchronization with server See: TimeIT-server
  • Run on several computers and see the times distributed and visible on all.
• Summary views grouped by day, week, month, and year.
• Show details of a task by day/week/month/year.
  • When did you work?
  • When did you have a break and for how long?
• Editing of records.
