Track time in Messages conversations.
Here's an example of the information Timing records for Slack. Notice how Timing tracks how much time you spend on each conversation, without having to install any sort of plugin.
Most web browsers and other apps, including communication apps are also supported. And all of this information is only visible to you, of course.
In fact, we have a dedicated page on why Timing is the ideal time-tracking app for today's remote work!
Track time in all meetings.
Timing automatically detects when any voice or video call has ended and offers to record time for that time period. That way, you'll never forget to track time spent in a meeting again.
In a similar fashion, Timing also lets you record time for calendar events.
