How to use

TimeRegister enables you to keep track of your workday by a quick an easy interface. The time you record is created as events and are saved with the category you choose. All paid events are added together and displayed for day, week and month. You can always go back and check an earlier day, week or month and your events may be emailed as a report for a chosen week.

The application is based on an hour being divided in 6 minutes time intervals, hence the clocked time is displayed as decimal numbers. The application uses the users current calendar, and is fixed to Monday being the start of the week. By using the ISO 8601 week date system, week numbers are displayed in Week and Month views.

All paid events are added and the total works hours are displayed. Unpaid events are not added to your work hours.

The four items on the tab bar gives access to all you need for registering your work hours and breaks.
