LessTimeSpent - more natural way of time tracking and communication

My team is working in flexible hours and sometimes distributed in different locations (Home, Coffee Shop, Travelling). Many projects running in parallel which are charging by man hour. So recently, we are trying different ways of tracking our time spent on each project in a simple and less restrictive way. LessTimeSpent fits our purpose.

It is simple. just start or stop the timer. then it will start accumulate your time towards the project. Total time spent by the team is displayed. Add a simple note next to the timer, then you can tell others what you are planning to do now. So, after a period of time, you can see the high level picture of effort spent on the project.


The expense feature is not useful to us, but i think some ppl would love to use that for simple accounting.


Every time i sit down at some places start working, put down what i would like to do, click start button. It is kind of like "Stand Up" in agile practices. Oh Right, perhaps it is a good idea to review yesterday's stand up too.

  1. For time tracking, I prefer using time recording software from Replicon. Best suited for firms with remote employees and companies with hourly employees where proper documentation of working hours are required. This application can be accessed from anywhere or with any device like iphone, ipad, Macbook, tablet and PCs.
