Toggl Track

Toggl Track - A MUST for Freelancers

Opmerkingen: Easy, friendly time tracking (and more) tool. I use it every day! Toggl Track has made me a lot of money by informing me of just how much time I actually spend on a project.

Pluspunten:

Toggl Track is so easy to use - a Graphic Designer can use it! And I do! It was simple to set up and get rolling. Adding clients and projects is simple. The interface makes it easy, and the Help features make things even easier.

Minpunten:

Can't really say what that might be. I LOVE this tool and it is brilliant for my business.

Tracking with Ease for profitability

Opmerkingen: I've been using Toggl track on and off for several years, but this year turning to more payments based on hours worked I am tracking all of my time. It has also helped me to see the billable vs non-billable time split.
The reports are really helping me to understand how I work and to be able to plan my workload and time a bit better.
I feel like I am much more profitable in my business now as I have a real understanding of actual time to do tasks and how to build in a non- billable time element to all client projects.

Pluspunten:

Toggl has made my client billing so much faster and easier. There is no need to click back and forth between toggl and platforms I'm using with the auto track function. I love being able to attach a client time track report with my invoices so clients can see a breakdown of time. The reports and analytics have also given me some great insight as to how I work and where I'm spending my hours. As well as assisting in balancing my time between different client's projects more evenly.

Minpunten:

The are a few bugs in the auto-track and I do find that I often need to go in and edit the tracking. This is really my only bugbear with the application/ platform.

The perfect time tracking app

Opmerkingen: 5 stars across the board. Simple, easy to use, does what I need it to.

Pluspunten:

Toggl is fantastic! Super simple to use, and works great to help me keep track of the time I spend on design projects. Plus, when you download the app, they have an "always on top" feature that keeps the window above anything I'm working on, so that I don't forget about it.

Minpunten:

The always on top feature doesn't always work perfectly, but I usually don't have an issue.

Time manager lacking development

Opmerkingen: Initial program as previously indicated, easy setup, good initial price, but with a fairly high lack of development. We believe that this prevented us from having it as number one since our needs rose and we needed immediate data and access that the program did not provide us with.

Pluspunten:

One of the first time management applications that we used in the team at my company Chevron, we really believe that it was the best but it lacked development, the strong point is that it is at an affordable price, long-term and major clauses could be modified benefits, on the other hand it gave rise to a culture of taking time in the company, before we did not have that capacity to realize the time we were wasting, and this application was originally a good test and started saving time as it should.

Minpunten:

Good time taking, but very limited, remote control did not work, difficult access to collaborators with a pin that did not reach, bad support among other characteristics.

Effortless Time Tracking with Toggl Track: A User-Friendly Experience

Opmerkingen: Toggl Track has been fantastic to use! I love how easy and user-friendly it is! It has made tracking my workload a breeze! I have tried a couple of other programs, but Toggl Track seems to work the best for what I need it for. I wanted to track all the tasks I spend most of my time on, just to get a sense of where my time is being allocated on a daily basis, and this program tracks that perfectly!

Pluspunten:

Toggl Track is very user-friendly. It is simple to navigate. I like how easy it is to continue with a previous project or add a new one. The colour-coding also helps to breakdown the areas in which I am spending most of my time. I also really like the reports tab - it's nice seeing how many hours have been worked and the percentage of my time spent on each project.

Minpunten:

Sometimes, at the end of the day, I will use the mobile app to 'end' a task that I had started through the desktop webpage. I can see the task still counting when I enter the app, and so I will press the 'stop' button, but it does not always register. If I don't double-check it, then it will continue tracking time until the next morning when I return to Toggl Track. This just seems to be a small bug within the system.

Fantastic software for free but gets pricey if needed for a team of more than 5.

Opmerkingen: After two years working with it, only one time the system was down and we couldn't access it for about two hours, no issues aside from that.

Pluspunten:

It is very intuitive and easy to track time for different projects, the app works great and the features to be able to add different costs levels are cool.

Minpunten:

The lack of a plan just like the free version but with more seats, the jump to get more users is a bit pricey and includes many features that maybe are not that required on some cases. It would be great to just be able to pay for extra seats on the free plan.

The platform excels at providing a simple and efficient way to track time

Opmerkingen: Overall, my experience with Toggl Track has been positive. The platform excels at providing a simple, efficient way to track time, whether you're an individual or part of a team. Its clean, intuitive interface makes it easy to use, even for beginners. The ability to generate detailed reports and analyze time spent on various projects has been instrumental in improving productivity and identifying bottlenecks in workflows.

Pluspunten:

One of the standout features of Toggl Track is its simplicity and ease of use. The intuitive interface allows you to start tracking time with just a few clicks, which is perfect for both individuals and teams. I also appreciated the detailed reporting tools, which provide valuable insights into how time is being spent across different projects. Another great aspect is the flexibility Toggl Track offers. Whether you're using it on your desktop, mobile device, or browser extension, the synchronization is seamless. The integration capabilities with other tools like Asana and Trello also make it incredibly convenient to streamline workflows. Finally, the visual representation of time logs and the ability to tag or categorize tasks make it easy to stay organized and focused on priorities. It's a powerful yet user-friendly tool for anyone looking to optimize their time management.

Minpunten:

Users must remember to start and stop timers, which can lead to inaccuracies if forgotten. Some competitors provide automatic tracking to address this issue.

I trust this app

Opmerkingen: It's been very good.
It's an integral part of my billing process to my clients and it's pretty easy and complete to use

Pluspunten:

Works across many platforms (desktop, web, mobile)

Minpunten:

I wish it would highlight when a time entry is not attached to a project. I use Toggl to track time spent on clients projects and bill them. When I mess up and don't attach an entry to a project, I have to work backwards and figure out if I can confidently assign an entry to the right client account. When I can't I have to loose the time and billing. 100% this is my failure to do entries correctly, but it would be awesome if there were alerts to entries from the day prior that don't have projects attached. I can probably remember what I was doing...it's when I'm doing this at the end of the month that I can't always tie things back

Great Platform for Business Owners

Pluspunten:

The time sheet overview for the month to ensure I'm not going over my monthly hours for a client

Minpunten:

Sometimes I notice that Toggl will stop tracking time after some time, so I check every now and then to ensure the clock is still going.

A good option for time tracking

Opmerkingen: It was a good experience for a free app but unfortunately the paid features were not worth the cost for me

Pluspunten:

I liked the fact that there was a no-cost option to track time and set up different clients

Minpunten:

I didn't like the reporting features, even on the paid version.

The best tool out there for time tracking!!

Opmerkingen: Love it!! Has been the best tool I’ve found for time tracking and there’s so many small details that make it very user friendly and not the normal tracker

Pluspunten:

The ease of Toggl has made it so much easier to track my time compared to other apps. I use it everyday and it’s hands down the best solution I’ve tried. Every small feature makes a huge difference and that’s why I keep using it. I have ADHD and time blindness is soooo hard for me. So having a fool proof system and all the bells and whistles are the only thing that is truly keeping me in line. I use the chrome plugin, the desktop tool, mobile so I can start and stop quickly. I love the new feature where it shows what was detected so you can guess in case you need to go back and add manual time. I also really appreciate the new feature where when you switch windows, it will suggest you start recording your time in case you forgot. That reminders and the email reminder that my timer is still running is huge!! The multiple categories and recall of related and past projects that auto populate suggest are also amazing. The color coding and ability to switch between calendar and list view is super helpful and I use both every day.

Minpunten:

This isn’t really a Toggl issue but I often forget to turn it off, frequently. The emails are helpful but often I don’t see them until later and if it’s out of sight, it’s out of mind. Since Toggl had the ability to see in the background what apps I’m using, if it notices none are being used, offering a suggested turn off that you can opt in when you return. Where either in the warning email or when you you see the timer next it would say, it’s still running but “we recommend ending it here”

Toggl Track: The Ultimate Time Tracking Tool for Professionals

Opmerkingen: Toggl Track is an excellent application for individuals or companies needing to track employee time across multiple projects and tasks. I love having access to mobile, web, and desktop applications. I primarily use the web version as it fits seamlessly into my daily workflow alongside other browser tabs for email, search, and other productivity tools. The integrations with other software platforms are a nice bonus, though I am not currently utilizing them. Customer Support! The support I receive is superb. Integrated into the web application, support is just a click away. They have the ability to chat during normal hours and when offline; they are prompt to return and engage to solve any issues or answer any questions through email. Thank you for your support over the years! Overall, Toggl Track has significantly improved my time management and project tracking efficiency.

Pluspunten:

Toggl Track offers unparalleled capabilities for tracking time across various projects and tasks. As someone who continually monitors the time tracking landscape, I can confidently say that Toggl Track is truly the best in its class. Specifically, I appreciate the following features: - The ability to set individualized hourly rates for both individuals and tasks. - Flexibility to override the default rate when necessary. - Categorization of project work into billable and non-billable categories. - Robust reporting and analytics that provide a filtered view of the projects and tasks I have worked on during a given period.

Minpunten:

This list is quite short, as the Toggl Track team is consistently releasing new features. For instance, the current Invoice generation feature is rather basic. However, based on the robustness of their other features, I expect this feature to improve significantly over time. I still rely on another time tracking tool for invoicing due to its advanced features. Recently, I needed to amend some project time entries that exceeded 90 days. Unfortunately, this was not possible directly. Instead, I had to add the time entry to the current day and designated project, then change the date of the work to the desired time period. While this workaround was not perfect, it was functional. I understand the potential performance-related issues of maintaining such a large data set, especially for larger companies. However, extending the editable time period to cover the company's calendar year could be beneficial.

Great starting time tracker

Opmerkingen: Overall, I think this is great basic time tracking software. It's easy to use and gives basic reports. It doesn't do much beyond that, so if you need more you'll need to get something else.

Pluspunten:

It was perfect for starting out as a freelancer and keeping track of hours and projects. The free account was enough for me and 2 employees. I thought the set-up was fair and my team quickly picked up on how to use it. I also tested MyHours and thought Toggl was better. Both have responsive customer service.

Minpunten:

When the team got larger and projects more complicated, I needed to invest in something that I could do more

Great time tracking and analysis tool

Opmerkingen: Awesome development team that squishes bugs fast.

Pluspunten:

I've been using this tool for a while now and I love that it is super easy to track your time.

Minpunten:

Price? In my opinion, $10 is a bit too much for me to spend personally on this. If I removed some of my subscriptions to other tools, though, I would purchase a subscription.

Easy and useful for remote work!

Opmerkingen: Really nice, I have like 1-2 years using it.

Pluspunten:

It's very easy to use with other apps like calendar, todoist, etc. It has made it easier for me to track my activities and productivity, as it allows me to know exactly where I spend my time, for example how much time I spend reading something or researching something. This allows me to be more aware of how I spend my time and make changes to improve.

Minpunten:

I've heard some people get overwhelmed with so many options on the dashboard, but that's not my case. In any case, I think the dashboard could be set up as simple as possible, but I don't try to do that.

Intuitive. Useful. Generous free plan.

Opmerkingen: I have been using Toggl Track off and on for about 3 years now. I used it to track how much time I spent doing homework for college classes to get a better understanding of how much work a 3-credit-hour class actually takes, and now I'm using it to track my hours at work. I have used the free plan the entire time and find it to be sufficient for all of my needs. It's a simple piece of software that makes my life easier.

Pluspunten:

The free plan offers a lot of functionality without paying a penny. The user interface is very efficient and intuitive to use - just press the play button and you're off. I like that I can categorize my time entries into different projects to get a more detailed view of where my time is going and then see a weekly report with it all summarized.

Minpunten:

It seems like reports don't load/update on the Android mobile app unless you're connected to Internet and it has a chance to sync your time entries, which kind of makes sense, but also doesn't to me. I work in rural areas with limited Internet connectivity, so it's a little annoying to not be able to load my reports while out in the field.

Many great features, few flaws, great support!

Opmerkingen: I don't know what I would do without it!

Pluspunten:

That I can have a separate workspace for each client. That is does 7-day tracking and allows you to choose your own start of the week day. I love the fact that it now groups and adds up the times for distinct Tasks in a single day-space, but see Cons section. The fact that it allows me to track time for multiple projects for a single client and keeps the totals distinct. But see Cons . Support Team are really helpful and responsive.

Minpunten:

The fact that it does not give one the ability to round times tracked either up or down to the nearest complete fraction of an hour. If one does not do this , the total time for a day can be off and then multiple days like this cause an incorrect weekly total time. So I have to do the rounding manually for billing purposes. This is a pain.

Use it almost every day

Opmerkingen: Solid product, I wish there was a quicker way to round time to full hours / half hours or full minutes though, atm you have to manually modify it.

Pluspunten:

Ease of use to log time by just opening the page and pressing one button. The summary of the time, which tells me how long I worked on what. Also that times can be nicely edited.

Minpunten:

Sometimes I open it and accidentally start tracking. Then 8 hours later I receive an email telling me that I'm tracking the whole time.

Fantastic tool for freelance Personal Assistants

Opmerkingen: I really love Toggl Track, I desperately needed a tool to log my hours and categories my tasks and it ticks all the boxes. I’ve been using it for a year now and can’t recommend it more highly. The interface is clean, it’s simple to use and I really like the reports you can export, they are great summaries of my time.

Pluspunten:

Toggl makes it really easy for me to log my hours and manage my time. As a freelance personal assistant, I can quickly categorise and sort all my tasks, and export my timesheets at the end of each week.

Minpunten:

The time entry annoys me a little bit as it auto runs the moment you create a task, but that is such a minor thing.

Perfect for one-woman shop with multiple clients

Opmerkingen: I couldn't run an effective business without it. It's easy, affordable and took a great deal of stress out of starting my own business in the middle of the pandemic. If you're a one-person shop without a secretary or a bookkeeper, Toggle Track is indispensable.

Pluspunten:

In 2020 a COVID-related job loss forced me to start my own small consulting business, which consists of me and my laptop. After reading the reviews, Toggl was the best, most affordable option for hourly billing. It saves me countless hours and I dont need a tech department to use it. The one time I had a serious problem with a malfunction, Toggl's tech staff was extremely responsive -- they're real people, not robots. If you need a service to track hours for billing, you can't beat Toggl.

Minpunten:

It's difficult to add new clients with different hourly rates. Plus it doesn't allow you to automatically organize monthly client reports according to different projects, with separate subtotals for each. You have to run separate reports for each project and then combine them.

Toggl is my go-to time tracker, and has been for years. Workhorse SaaS!

Opmerkingen: Have been using it for years and years as a freelancer, and haven't ever thought to look at anything else for time tracking. So quick to track time. Reports are easy to create and I like the "duplicate" and "favorites" features. I just skim the surface these days since I mainly have one client/project, but when my freelance life was more complicated was great to be able to switch nimbly between projects. Nice historical view of my work life, too--I can tell clients how long something took very easily.

Pluspunten:

Bug-free, constantly and seemlessly getting improvements that are meaningful and not cosmetic. Nice reminders when you have forgotten to click time. Very intuitive UI (has not felt the need for AI!). Strong support (not that I've needed it.). It just works!

Minpunten:

Not much here; I guess maybe that it has a lot of features I don't use so can feel cluttered. I guess the mobile app's hour wheel thing is a bit hard to use and not sure it helps much. (Don't use the mobile app much.)

Long-time Toggl user continues to recommend

Opmerkingen: I was an early user of Toggl Track. It's simple to use and gives me a sense of where I'm spending my time.

Pluspunten:

Stop and play buttons. It makes it easy and efficient.

Minpunten:

Improvements over the years have taken care of most of my concerns. Sometimes I find if I have to go back and reset the time, it takes a couple of tries.

great tool

Opmerkingen: I’ve been using Toggl Track for over a year, and it’s honestly a great tool for keeping tabs on how I spend my time. It’s super easy to use, I can just start and stop the timer with a click, and if I forget, it’s simple to add or edit entries later. One thing I really like is how it breaks down my day. The reports are clear and give me a good overview of where my time is going, which has been really helpful for staying on track. That said, it’s not perfect. Sometimes the app can feel a bit clunky when switching between devices, the sync isn’t always instant. Also, I’ve noticed I occasionally get random notifications saying the app is tracking my time even when I don’t have it open. It’s like it’s trying to check and sync in the background, which can be a little frustrating. Overall, it’s still a great tool

Pluspunten:

The reminders, easy to edit and export the time sheets

Minpunten:

the colors of the website, the shades of purple for the dark mode, but i got used to it

Very reliant on this app

Opmerkingen: I could not do without it now! It's like one of my larder staples!

Pluspunten:

Easy to use, reports look very professional and timer is useful

Minpunten:

I don't like not being able to see all my workspaces on the same day. This was changed recently, and sometimes switching from one work space is clunky as it refuses to change workspace sometimes!

Remarkable Tool for Time & Expense Tracking

Pluspunten:

Automating time tracking workflow is what I like most about Toggl Track since I am able to save time and improve productivity.

Minpunten:

The issues which I used to experience on the previous version are no more ever since the vendor upgraded the version recently.
