Breaks, Expenses, and Notes

The Timesheet Android App not only tracks working hours but also helps you manage breaks, expenses, and notes — either during an active timer or after completing a task.

Adding Entries​

  • While the timer is running:
    Tap the Pencil icon next to the project name on the timer screen to add a break, expense, or note.
  • After completing a task:
    Go to the Task Details screen and navigate to the relevant tab (Breaks, Expenses, or Notes) to add or review entries.

Breaks​

Track work breaks (e.g., lunch, tea breaks) to accurately measure productive working time.

How It Works​

  • Pause the timer during an active session or add breaks manually later.
  • Each break requires:
    • Start and end time
    • Optional description

Break Calculations​

  • Absolute Duration: Total time (including breaks)
  • Relative Duration: Total time minus break time
    Use these metrics to calculate working hours and wages with or without break deductions.
