I suppose actually that folks could potentially use Tasker to start/stop the Stopwatch (and assign certain Tags) based on certain apps (eg, when I use am using SMS, start Stopwatch and assign Tag "Texting", and stop Stopwatch on end of app usage). I think the location element could potentially even be handled by Tasker as well (eg, within Tasker configure start/stop of Stopwatch based on location).
ManicTime helps you to easily identify time used for work because of its auto tracking of. It shows which websites you visited, apps you used, and gives you a detailed report of your day. But definitely better to wait and see if there's truly demand for that.Īnd Stopwatch with Tasker support should be pretty powerful for folks (for those who use Tasker). RescueTime runs quietly in the background while you work, and captures data on how you spend your time. By doing that - you've just made your app usable by all Blackberry 10 users :)Įxcellent points regarding useful data-does one really need to know that level of minutia? I can imagine though that some might find the data in aggregate to be useful (ie, total time spent this week on SMS).
MANICTIME VS RESCUETIME ANDROID
After reading a tag or timing out, the monitoring process goes to sleep until the next accelerometer event fires.Īlso - if you make an Android application - try not to use Google Services, or write in the ability to turn them off.
When the accelerometer suddenly stops or slows - you flip on the NFC and scan for a tag for 30 seconds. So when I'm in any of those places, I simply set my phone down on the NFC mat, and manictime now knows definitively where I am, and I can determine what I was doing and for how long.įrom a programming perspective, you'd want to tap into the accelerometer events - no need to use up the battery. I program the tags as URLs representing the five places I spend my time.
MANICTIME VS RESCUETIME FREE
I easily program them with a free app on my phone. So lets say I buy five flat adhesive NFC tags. GPS would help with the driving, but what about in the house? That's where these NFC "anchors" would solve the problem. Sometimes I have to run out and I'm driving. I often see gaps in my Manic Time and wonder what I was doing. Obviously not everyone is going to use them - but they are becoming more popular. What about using NFC tags? They are cheaply available and can be used as anchor points to automatically take the guesswork out of where we are. So I was wondering: are any of the time trackers available for Asana capable of tracking time at a project level rather than the task level? And maybe even a category level if using custom fields perhaps?īut I do wonder if time-tracking inside Asana is a useful thing in our case at all.Been thinking about this a lot since I made by last two comments :) It’s enough to track which project and what kind of task maybe what kind of drawing, but nothing more than that. For instance, as architects, we want to track how long someone spent drafting and under which project but we don’t need to track how long they spent adding a door to revision B of drawing 103. We want to track time projects and categories of tasks. We’ve been using another application for task management and time tracking and it’s been frustrating because I really miss the frictionless nature of task management in Asana.Īnd it suddenly occurred to me today that time tracking and task management don’t necessarily go together because we don’t necessarily want to track time on tasks.
