Short Commands

Did you forget to enter a meeting? Enter your task name with the start and end times in the tracker field, then press Enter. This will add a new task for the current day between the given times. The times have to be provided in a 24-hour format.

Would you like to start tracking right after your previous task? Enter your new task name, add -- at the end, then press Enter. This will start tracking the new task from the end of the previous task.

Did you forget to start tracking at the beginning of your meeting? Enter your new task name with the start time at the end, then press Enter. This will start tracking the new task for the current day from the given time. The time has to be provided in a 24-hour format.

Did you want to start tracking a few minutes ago? Add a time unit at the end of your task name to start it that long ago. See the list of all supported time units.

Did you accidentally start your task a few minutes later than you intended to? You can move the beginning of the tracking back by a time unit and press Enter, or use the even shorter form. See the list of all supported time units.

Did you forget to stop your tracking? While the task is still running, enter a time unit in the tracker field and press Enter. This will close your current task and move its end back by that amount.

For the time unit, see the list of all supported time units.

You can also stop at an exact time: while the task is still running, enter a time in the tracker field and press Enter. The time has to be provided in a 24-hour format.

Did you start tracking a task, but you actually did not start working on it, and in the same time frame you worked on something else? Type the move command with the other task’s name in the tracker field and press Enter. This moves all the time tracked so far to that task and keeps tracking for it. You can also use the even shorter form.

/move also has a /move start form for nudging the current task’s start time. See Adjust start time above.

Started tracking a task by mistake and want to discard that time entirely? Type the cancel command and press Enter to drop the time tracked so far, without moving it anywhere. You can also use the even shorter form.

Were you tracking during your lunch break and would like to exclude it? Type the pause command with the time frame to exclude and press Enter. This will stop your tracking at the start time and resume it at the end time. You can also use the even shorter form. The times have to be provided in a 24-hour format.

Have you just realized that your work was paused for a while? Type the pause command with a time unit and press Enter. This will stop your tracking that long ago and resume it now. You can also use the even shorter form. See the list of all supported time units.
