Toggl is “one-click time tracking” and is awesome
A small business with other small businesses in mind: Toggl is simple, user-friendly time tracking software for work teams or for freelancers. Toggl was founded on the idea that “software should empower people, not get in the way.”
As such, it’s “one-click time tracking” claims to be easier to use than Twitter. You won’t need any complicated training to get your staff to track their time efficiently and correctly. The simple tool can help increase workplace productivity and help you better understand how billable time is being spent.
Desktop or mobile, Trello or Asana
Toggl can be operated from your computer or your smartphone, and has offline support just in case you are out of Wifi or mobile service range. While Toggl can track your time in real time, if you forget to switch it on, you can still go back and enter in the time later.
It’s compatible with Trello, Asana, and other workplace platforms and software. You can use it to set different rates for different jobs, can subdivide it into different projects, and the whole shebang can be color coded. And yes, it rounds and does decimals, too.
For teams or individuals
Toggl can be used by individuals, or you can set up your entire staff to use it. You can even subdivide timesheets into different teams and departments. Toggl produces printable and sharable “sexy reports” that allow you track billable time, assess team progress, and compare employees. It can even announce an “Employee of the Month.”
A free Toggl account lets you track up to five employees with unlimited projects and reports. For five dollars per user per month, you can track an unlimited number of employees and get estimates and bookmarked reports. The top-end Business account, at $49 per user per month, includes time audits, reminders, priority customer service support, and several other pro features.
