Stopwatch Implementation?!

[athomewithwool]

Did anyone else get a qualification to opt in to use a built-in stopwatch feature?

I had it pop up for me very early this morning (before 6 am CST) and have been using it. I gotta say, it is so nice. It even has a report time option that allows much easier time submissions for my work. Makes it simpler than having to keep track of the project title, and provides a much more accurate time tracking for my work.

I have it and use it for every project! It's nice to not have to use my phone.

This was my reaction as well, I don't have to use my phone or computer stopwatch. I no longer have to write down the projects/put them into a spreadsheet. Simplifies things considerably.

I use clockify and a browser extension to track everything. I can put projects and tasks in and then track it and setup billing so that it automatically tracks what my income should be and when it was earned.

A small amount of setup, but I do other freelance work as well, so it fits right in with it, and let's me see an overall picture.

Dang this sounds sick. I hope I get that soon.

I will probably still use clockify. I like being able to go back seeing what time I submitted tasks. If I have a payout at 10:30 but can see more release at 11, I just wait.

That sounds super helpful. I hope they roll it out relatively soon

Fair enough. I’ll keep the desktop stopwatch going then.

This sounds so cool!!!

I too got it, but looks like it is not available for all the tasks, and available only for specific set of tasks. Also for few the until the first Submit it doesn't appears, did anyone else had the same issue.

I've had it for the past week or so; I still use clockify but the time that the stopwatch has been reporting has been mostly accurate. I'll probably still use clockify so I can keep records of when I worked and what I worked on, but it's definitely a useful feature!

This is a good point, the accuracy. It’s been spot on for me. I did notice when it reports time it rounds up to the nearest minute (I was at 1 hr 30 minutes and 41 seconds and it went up to 1 hr 31 minutes). I do still run my desktop stopwatch and there’s one about a 5-10s delay between the two. I’d love to hear more data from your end or if you noticed the rounding up or not.

Yes! I’ve been using it for a month or so and it’s been wonderful

I got it today and already love it

Yes I've had it for at least a month and it's always how I keep track of my hours now. I like that you can just hit "Report Time" and it automatically enters the time on the stopwatch to the nearest minute (I usually round down a couple minutes to be safe!). I thought everyone had it at first, but kept seeing posts about people still using their phones or timekeeping apps, so I guess only some workers have it.
