Projects

A project is anything you want to track time against — a simple work attendance tracker, a full architecture project, or anything in between.

Projects can be subdivided into tasks, so time lands under the right piece of work. They can also carry a billing rate and a weekly goal (say, 5 hours a week), so Swipetimes can tell you how you’re tracking against it. That’s separate from a profile’s daily target time — a project’s goal is its own, so it’s a good way to track a project’s budget rather than your overall workload. The billing rate and your tracked time are exactly what feed into creating invoices.

To keep things organized, projects are grouped into profiles: put all your work projects in one profile and your private projects in another, and switch between them without one cluttering the other.

You can also assign tags to a project. Every record you track against it then picks up that tag automatically, so you don’t have to tag each entry by hand.
