VIDEO: 5 Best Time Tracking Software Solutions: Streamline Your Productivity

Hello project managers. I’m Mackenzie, and time management is my greatest enemy. No matter what I do, time just seems to slip between my fingers and before I know it it’s been hours since I started a project. I could use a good old-fashioned stopwatch to record my time, but those can be tedious and they don’t help me track multiple projects I’m working on at the same time. One solution is to conquer and control the concept of time and space itself, but real life isn’t sci-fi sadly.

So the other option is to utilize time-tracking software. And here are five solid choices. ConnecTeam is a complete time management solution designed to help teams stay on top of business needs and operations remotely by viewing employee stats while keeping a pulse on overall time data in a convenient dashboard. This tool offers a wide range of time-tracking and other features for both administrative users and employees such as location tracking, payroll management, and more for easy scheduling and team management.

Timely is an AI-powered software for automated time management. Rather than inputting time manually, Timely logs your time spent across every web and desktop app automatically—saving you valuable time. Overall, it’s a great tool for teams and individuals who want to get a complete overview of how they spend their time without worrying about needing to start and reset a timer throughout the day. Plus, its A.I. streamlines the time-tracking process while compiling valuable insights into time trends, making it an efficient and powerful solution for automated time tracking. monday.com is a comprehensive work management solution with time and project management functionality.

It gives users the flexibility to design and implement their unique time-tracking systems, complete with toggle on-and-off timer buttons, columns for tracking time totals, fields for setting budget limitations, and even column formulas that can automatically calculate hourly rates multiplied by time totals for stress-free billing. This is a standout choice for multi-project management when compared to other vendors because of its easy-to-access views, dashboards, and reports.

Toggl Track is a user favorite because of its unlimited time tracking and access to exportable reports, making it one of the most generous free plans on the market. It allows teams to track time as blocks in a weekly visualization and access insights based on time-tracking trends. In addition, Toggl offers numerous integration options and workflow optimizations to help save time. Unfortunately, though, it cannot attribute time blocks to more than one user.

For larger teams, you might want to consider different solutions. Clockify is a free-forever time management software that enables users to track time across devices while creating time logs, accessing time insights, and handling day-to-day management operations. And thanks to its diverse toolbox of features, and user-friendly UX, it’s a great choice for business owners, employees, freelancers, and solo entrepreneurs. Like Toggl Track, it includes countless integrations such as Asana, Jira, Google Calendar, and more which makes Clockify easy to adapt to any tech stack.

Plus, it adds an on-and-off toggle button across the applications you use every day while collecting data insights about the ways you and your team spend time. And that’s all the time I have for this list. Yes, pun intended.
