Time tracking

Kev has two timers, and you can run both at once:

  • Workday timer: your whole working day, from first job to home time.
  • Job timer: time on one job, such as "Smith kitchen refit", so you know what each job really took.

Start and stop

  1. Open the Time tab.
  2. On the timer you want, tap Start timer. For a job, type the job name first.
  3. Going for a brew? Tap Take a break, then Finish break when you're back.
  4. At the end, tap Stop timer.

You can close Kev while a timer runs. It keeps counting.

No signal when you tap Stop or Take a break? Kev saves the time you tapped once signal is back. See Poor signal on site.

Forgot to start the timer?

Tap Add time and type in when you started and finished. To fix an entry, tap Edit next to it in today's list.

Started a timer by mistake? Open the entry with Edit, then tap Delete time entry at the bottom. Kev asks before it deletes, and it comes off your timesheets.

Put your time in a job

When you edit a time entry, pick a job in its Job box to count those hours towards it. Or open the job and tap Start timer, and the timer is in that job from the start. See Jobs.

In Settings > Time tracking, choose whether breaks count as working time:

  • Unpaid breaks: break time is taken off your hours.
  • Paid breaks: break time counts as worked.

The setting applies to new entries. Entries you've already recorded keep the setting they were made with.

Timesheets

Tap Timesheets to see your hours day by day for this month.

With Kev Pro you can pick any dates and tap Download CSV for a spreadsheet or your accountant.
