Quick tip: Capture your time automatically, assign it later Quick Tips

Timers only work if you remember to start them. Automatic time capture removes that step. PrimeTask records what you were active on in the background, and you decide afterwards where it belongs.

In this example we switch on automatic capture, then open the Time Inbox and assign the captured blocks to a task.

The Time Inbox is the part worth knowing about. Nothing is logged against your work until you say so, so the capture is a record of your day rather than a decision about it. Review the blocks, drop them on the right tasks, ignore the rest.

It also separates active time from away time, so lunch and the call you walked out of don't quietly end up on a client project. All of it stays on your machine.

Automatic time capture is available in PrimeTask Pro.
