Start the timer

From anywhere in Projects:

  1. Click the timer button at the top of the page, Start timer.
  2. Choose the Project, then, if you want, one of its open tasks in Task. No project times work outside any project.
  3. Add a Note if you want: it is saved with the time.
  4. Click Start timer.

The button turns into a counter that shows the running time on every page.

You can also start it on a task:

  • In the task, under Time, click Start timer.
  • In My work, click the timer button of one of your tasks, or use the Timer card.

Stop and save

Click the counter, then Stop and save. Skileo saves the time as an entry on the day the timer started, rounded up to the minute, with its project, task and note.

The entry takes the task’s job type, and it is billable when the project has a customer. To change them, edit the entry. See Log time on a project.

Discard stops the timer without saving anything. Skileo asks first.

One timer per person

You have one timer. Starting it on something else stops the running one and saves its time first.

The timer runs on Skileo’s side, not in your browser: it keeps counting when you close the page, and you see it on your other devices.

Common questions

I forgot to stop the timer. What do I do?

Stop it, then edit the entry and correct its duration. Or discard it and log the time by hand. See Log time on a project.

Why can't I stop the timer?

The day it started is submitted or approved, so no time can be added to it. Discard the timer and log the time on another day. Whoever approves timesheets can still add time to a submitted day; an approved day can’t change.

What if the timer runs past midnight?

The time is saved on the day it started, without a start and end time.

Why can't I choose a project?

The timer only offers projects you are a member of and that track time. A template takes no time.
