Overview

TimerOS is a multi-tenant time-management platform for teams and freelancers. Work time is tracked in one place — the Windows desktop app — while everything else (managing people, viewing reports, billing, and giving clients their own space) happens in the surfaces around it.

It helps to know which surface does what before you dive in, because each one has a distinct job. They all share the same workspace and stay in sync.

The surfaces

  • Windows desktop app — the only place time is tracked. It runs an always-on-top timer bar (Break, Dashboard, Collapse, Logout) plus an on-demand dashboard window with the full set of pages. See installing on Windows.
  • Web dashboard — for owners and admins to manage the workspace, not to track time (there is no timer here). It covers users and team management, subscription, billing and invoices, support tickets, workforce and client notices, tracking rules, branding, and account settings. Members are redirected away from it to the app.
  • Client portal — a separate, per-client branded space where your clients sign in to view projects, pay invoices, raise incidents, approve changes, and accept your notices. More in the client portal.
  • Marketing / admin website — where you register a workspace and manage your plan and billing.

An Android app lets you manage and review your workspace on the go — like the web dashboard, it does not track time. Time tracking stays on the desktop.

Using these docs

Start with Install on Windows and Set up your workspace, then explore the areas you need: time states, activity classification, reports, and security.

Pre-launch
TimerOS is still pre-launch, so some areas are in progress and a few items (for example single sign-on, an audit log, and integrations) are planned rather than shipped. We call these out honestly throughout the docs — see the roadmap for what is coming and when.
