Why a Desktop App?
You can use Timetracker in your browser — but a native Windows app has real advantages for people who spend most of their day at a computer.
Always Running
Starts with Windows and lives in your system tray. No browser tab to manage, no risk of accidentally closing it. Your timer keeps running in the background.
One Click Away
Click the tray icon to switch activities instantly. No searching through browser tabs or bookmarks. The tracker is always one click from wherever you are.
Lightweight
Under 5 MB installed, minimal memory footprint. Built with Tauri — no Electron bloat. Runs quietly without slowing down your machine.

Track All 24 Hours
Not just work — track sleep, exercise, hobbies, family time, and everything in between. See where your entire day goes.
Life Areas
Organize activities into areas like Work, Health, Family, and Hobbies. Understand how you balance different parts of your life.
Goals & Budgets

How It Works

Track as You Go
Tap an activity to start tracking. When you switch to something else, tap the new activity — the previous timer stops automatically.
See Where Time Goes
Check daily, weekly, and monthly breakdowns. See exactly how you divide your time across work, health, family, and everything else.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Timetracker for Windows really free?
Yes, completely free. No ads, no trial period, no feature limits. All features are available from day one.
What versions of Windows are supported?
Timetracker runs on Windows 10 and Windows 11 (64-bit). Both EXE and MSI installers are available.
Does it sync with my phone?
Yes. Your data syncs across all devices — Windows, Android, iPhone, and the web app. Start a timer on your desktop, switch it from your phone.
What's the difference between the EXE and MSI installer?
The EXE installer is for personal use — it installs for the current user and updates automatically. The MSI installer is for IT administrators who need to deploy across multiple machines via group policy.
Can I track more than just work hours?
That's what Timetracker is designed for. Unlike most time trackers that focus on billable hours, Timetracker covers your entire day — work, sleep, exercise, hobbies, family time, and everything in between.
Is my data private?
Your data is stored securely and is only accessible to you. We don't sell data, show ads, or share your information with third parties.
Can I use it without installing anything?
Yes — the web app at timetracker.live works in any browser. The Windows desktop app is optional, for people who prefer a native experience without keeping a browser tab open.
