Timether’s mobile app lets you track and manage time from your phone, whether you are away from your desk, visiting a client, working remotely, or handling quick updates during the day.
The mobile app is available for iOS and Android and is built as a companion to the main Timether web dashboard.
What the mobile app is used for
The mobile app is designed for quick time tracking and basic time entry management while you are on the go.
You can use it to:
-
Track time from your phone
-
Create manual time entries
-
Edit existing time entries
-
Delete time entries
-
Switch between workspaces
-
View your basic time logs
-
Review recent tracked work
For advanced workspace management, billing, profitability, and capacity reporting, use the Timether web dashboard.
Setting up the mobile app
To get started:
-
Install the Timether mobile app on your iOS or Android device.
-
Open the app.
-
Sign in with your Timether account.
-
Select the workspace you want to use.
-
Start tracking or managing time entries.
Once signed in, the mobile app will connect to your Timether account and sync your activity with the selected workspace.
Workspace navigation
If you belong to multiple workspaces, the mobile app lets you choose which workspace you want to work in.
Each workspace has its own clients, projects, tags, timers, time entries, reports, and settings.
When you switch workspaces, the mobile app updates the active workspace context. After switching, you will only see the projects, clients, and time entries that belong to that workspace.
Workspace scoping on mobile
Timether keeps workspace data strictly separated.
This means you cannot track time to a project from another workspace, and you cannot connect a time entry to a client that belongs to a different workspace.
For example, if you are currently using your personal workspace, you will not see projects from your agency workspace.
If a project or client is missing in the mobile app, check that you are in the correct workspace.
Creating a time entry from mobile
To create a manual time entry:
-
Open the Timether mobile app.
-
Make sure the correct workspace is selected.
-
Go to the time entries or logs section.
-
Tap Add Time Entry.
-
Enter a description of the work.
-
Select the project.
-
Add the duration.
-
Choose the date and time the work happened.
-
Add tags if needed.
-
Save the entry.
The new time entry will be saved to the selected workspace and synced with the web dashboard.
Editing a time entry
To edit an existing time entry:
-
Open the time entry in the mobile app.
-
Update the details you need to change.
-
Save your changes.
You may be able to update details such as the description, duration, project, tags, billable status, rate, or date, depending on your role and workspace permissions.
If the time entry is locked because it has already been added to an active invoice, it cannot be edited until it is released from that invoice.
Deleting a time entry
To delete a time entry:
-
Open the time entry you want to remove.
-
Tap Delete or the available remove option.
-
Confirm the action.
Deleting a time entry removes it from the workspace records.
If the entry has already been included in a draft, sent, or paid invoice, it may be locked and cannot be deleted until the invoice is deleted, voided, or the entry is otherwise released.
Viewing basic time logs
Members can use the mobile app to view their basic time logs.
This is useful for checking recent work, confirming that time was saved correctly, or reviewing entries while away from the computer.
The mobile app is helpful for quick visibility, but it is not intended to replace the full reporting dashboard.
Reporting on mobile
The mobile app may show basic time log information so users can review their own tracked work.
For deeper reporting, use the Timether web dashboard.
Managers and owners should use the web app to review advanced reports such as:
-
Team timesheets
-
Capacity utilization
-
Internal cost breakdowns
-
Billable vs. non-billable cost
-
Project profit margins
-
Planning insights
-
Detailed productivity reports
These reports often include management-level information and are better suited to the full web dashboard.
What must be managed from the web dashboard
The mobile app is focused on quick time tracking and time entry management.
Use the Timether web dashboard for:
-
Managing clients
-
Managing projects
-
Managing tags
-
Creating invoices
-
Managing team members
-
Updating member capacity
-
Updating internal hourly costs
-
Reviewing profit margins
-
Reviewing capacity utilization
-
Managing billing and subscriptions
-
Managing API tokens
-
Changing advanced workspace settings
This keeps the mobile app simple while keeping advanced workspace controls available in the main web app.
If the mobile app shows the wrong workspace data
If the mobile app does not show the clients, projects, or time entries you expect, check the following:
-
Make sure you are signed in to the correct Timether account.
-
Check the active workspace.
-
Switch to the correct workspace if needed.
-
Confirm that the project or client is not archived.
-
Open the web dashboard to confirm the data exists in that workspace.
Because Timether uses strict workspace scoping, the mobile app only shows data from the workspace currently selected.
