Timecop

Timecop is a handy little time tracking app that helps you figure out exactly how much time you're spending on tasks. This is super important, especially for freelancers who need to keep track of their hours. The best part? It does all this without getting in your way!

How Timecop Works

When you launch Timecop, it adds a cute icon to your status bar menu. Just click on it, and you'll see the app’s main panel pop up. Here, you can check out your list of projects and see just how much time you've spent on each one. Adding new entries is a breeze!

Tracking Your Work

Each entry has a recording button right next to it. When you're ready to start working on a task, just hit the button! It'll turn red to show that you're active on that project. When you're done, just press it again to stop tracking.

View Your Stats

You can easily see how much time you've spent in any specific application for the current month. Plus, Timecop lets you filter your activity by day, week, or month so you can get a clear picture of your productivity. And yes, it'll automatically calculate the total time for you!

Custom Shortcuts and Idle Detection

One cool feature is that you can set up personalized keyboard shortcuts for quickly switching between projects. If you get distracted and don’t work for a bit, Timecop will recognize idle time too! You can choose to add that idle time back to a specific project or task.

Integration with Other Tools

If you're using Basecamp Classic or Harvest, Timecop integrates smoothly with those accounts! You’ll be able to export all your data in no time at all. Plus, if you want to save your stats for later review, you can easily download them as a CSV file.

Final Thoughts

So there you have it! Timecop is an efficient little tool that quietly tracks your activity while allowing connection with Basecamp Classic or Harvest accounts.
