TimeLog for Desktop - Beta guide

Introduction

Here we guide you through the initial download of the beta version of the TimeLog for Desktop.

Description

What is TimeLog for Desktop?

TimeLog for Desktop is part of our cross-platform tracking concept, and it allows you to track project time on the fly and easily change tasks during the day. This helps you improve the accuracy in your time tracking enabling you to invoice more hours. The desktop tracker is synchronised with your TimeLog Mobile app and the web application, and you can start and stop registrations across platforms. 

If you already use our Mobile app, you are well-equipped to start using TimeLog for Desktop, as it includes almost the same functionality and the same design features.

Installation guide for Windows

If you are about to install the new beta version of TimeLog for Desktop on a Windows machine, we need your help to earn reputation at Microsoft!

Due to Microsoft Smartscreen Filter you might experience a warning when trying to install the new application. The TimeLog Tracker application has yet to earn reputation as a safe application in the Microsoft application universe. When you and others install and use this application, we hope to quickly get the right trust level for this warning to disappear in the installation process.
