Google Chrome Extension

Keep your timer at your fingertips. The Timesheet browser extension gives you quick access to your timer without switching tabs or opening the web app.

What It Does

The extension is a compact toolbar companion that lets you control your time tracking from any browser tab. Think of it as a mini version of Timesheet that's always just one click away.

Timer Control

Start, stop, pause, and resume your timer directly from the extension popup. The extension icon shows your current timer status at a glance:

• Orange icon: Timer is running
• Pause icon: Timer is paused
• Gray icon: No active timer

Project Management

• Browse your active projects in a clean, scrollable list
• Select a project before starting your timer
• Color-coded projects for easy recognition

Task Details

While your timer is running, you can:

• Update the task description
• Add start and end locations
• Select task type
• Add tags for categorization
• Set or update billing rates
• Mark tasks as billable, billed, or paid
• Adjust the start time if needed

Notes, Expenses & Breaks

Add details to your current time entry:

• Notes: Document what you worked on
• Expenses: Log costs related to the task
• Breaks: Record pauses during your work session

All entries are attached to your current timer and sync immediately.
