Record what you work on as you switch tasks, not from memory at the end of the day. A note
or spreadsheet with a start time for each task works; a timer app that tracks one task at
a time and lets you fix mistakes quickly is faster.

Doing it by hand
Decide what you log against: projects, clients, or kinds of work. Keep the list short
enough to pick from quickly.
Write down the time whenever you switch to something else.
When you notice a gap or a forgotten switch, fix it right away while you still remember.
At the end of the day, total each item and copy the totals into your timesheet or
invoice.
Where TimeMender helps
One-tap timer: tap a work item to start it and tap another to switch.
Only one timer runs at a time, and the previous one is saved automatically.
Quick add: tap +Xm on an item to add time you forgot to track, with no
timer running.
Daily target: see time tracked and how much is left or over for the
day.
Reminders at the start and end of your workday, and when a timer has
been running longer than you set.
History: the free version shows today and yesterday’s totals per
work item — enough to fill in a timesheet the next morning.
TimeMender Pro, a one-time purchase with no subscription, adds full
history, week and date-range summaries, share and CSV or plain-text export, notes on
entries, and iCloud sync.
Its limits
It is a personal worklog, not a team timesheet, payroll, or billing system. You copy
totals into those yourself.
In the free version, dates older than yesterday stay locked until you upgrade; the time
is kept, so upgrading shows it.
Corrections work in your quick-add increment; individual entries and exact start and
stop times are not editable.
iPhone and iPad with iOS 17 or later. No account, and core tracking works offline.
