Overview What it's good for Browser requirements Privacy FAQ Contact Get started	If you are already familiar with Timekeeper you can skip the introduction and go directly to your Timekeeper. Perhaps you should set a bookmark when you get there. Overview Timekeeper is a free web-based time management system that does not use time cards, time sheets, or the like. Instead it uses a statistical system. While time cards may be useful for accounting purposes, they don't really give an accurate picture of how you are actually spending your time. They tell you what you were intending to do, or thought you did, or wanted an accounting department to pay you for. All this is fine, but to manage your time, you need to know what you were really doing, and to what extent you have been interrupted by tasks other than the one you intended to be doing. Timekeeper will pop up a window at random moments, and ask what you are doing now. If you paused in your official task to order a pizza when the query window pops up, you might put down "miscellaneous", or if you want to track your pizza time, you could say, "pizza", but not what your time card says you're doing. Over the long run, this statistical process will give a good picture of how your time has been spent, assuming that the time you want to account for is spent near a computer.
