Time tracking allows you to easily track time spent on your tasks.
Time tracker is a floating window that counts the time spent on one of your tasks. The window is always on top by default, but you can change that.
The time tracking feature has been added in Swift To-Do List 7.26 Professional.
How to use time tracking?
It couldn't be simpler - just right-click any task, then click "Start Time Tracking". You can also use the Tasks menu.
A floating time tracking window will be displayed. You can easily pause the tracking by clicking the Pause button. Right-click the time tracking window to display more options.
How does time tracking work?
Every task has a Time Spent property that you can use to track how much time has been spent. The time tracking window simply periodically adds time to the current value. (You can display the Time Spent column in the task-view using Manage - Columns.)
You can track only one task at a time.
By default, the time tracking window shows time elapsed in the current session (= the time since the window has been opened). However, it can also display the total time spent for the task you track. To display the total time spent, right-click the time tracking window and click "Show Total Time Spent".
Custom themes for time tracking window
You can easily choose a custom theme for the time tracking window. Simply right-click the time tracker, and select "Custom Theme...". This will open a color picker - after you choose a color, the window will change it's appearance.
Countdown time tracking to overcome procrastination
The timer can be also used in countdown mode, which can powerfully help you overcome procrastination and make work more pleasant.
