Wecome to Tiny Time Tracker
Tiny Time Tracker is an inobtrusive personal time tracker that fits nicely at the bottom of your screen. Switching between tasks is made easy with auto-complete and a "task history" dropdown. Times may be viewed in an Excel spread sheet.
Requirements
To run Tiny Time Tracker, you need
Java installed. You'll also need Microsoft Excel or
Open Office installed to view the time reports.
Download and Install
To download and install Tiny Time Tracker,
install Java, then
click here. If you have trouble with that link, use
this alternate site.
Placing it in Your Taskbar
Create space for the tracker in your taskbar by grabbing the resize handle between your quick-launch icons and your programs. If there is no resize handle, you may need to right-click on your task bar and uncheck the "Lock the Taskbar" menu item.
To drag the tracker into the space, grab the right side of the tracker.
Now What?
Now you're ready to start recording your times. Simply type in what you're doing, press Enter, and it will begin recording your time. When you change tasks, type in the new task. The dropdown remembers tasks so you can easily switch to a previous task. You may also begin typing the name of a previous task and it will auto-complete for you.
If you forget to switch the timer when you begin another task, you can "roll back" the timer later by entering the new task and then placing your cursor over the displayed time scrolling up with the mouse scroll button. The scrolling action adjusts the time when you switched to a new task. Hold down shift while you scroll to adjust the time more quickly. If you don't have a scroll button on your mouse, you can do the same thing by clicking on the name of the task and pressing "Shift-UP" or "Shift-DOWN". Use "Ctrl-Shift-UP" or "Ctrl-Shift-DOWN" to adjust the time more quickly.
Viewing the Time Report
Double-click on the time counter to view your time card. You'll need Microsoft Excel or Open Office for this to work.
Create Charts
You can create a chart in your timecard to show how your time was spent for the week. To do this, select columns A and B from row 3 on down, then press the "Chart" button on the toolbar.
Consolidating Timecards
If you have a need to consolidate multiple timecards, consider using the
Timecard Consolidator tool. Available from RubyForge, this tool is very useful for organizations
with multiple TinyTimeTracker users. This is also be useful for an individual
user who has lots of tasks each week and wishes to see rolled-up totals for
a month.
Timecard Consolidator consolidates multiple timecards into a
database and provides a web-based interface for viewing the consolidated data.
Advanced users may also directly query the database or write their own reports.
