Start a Job

This is the main screen you see each time you visit. From here you can: Access your personal profile with the [👤 Profile] button, Start a new job by selecting an activity, location, and tags, Open past time records with the [📋 Job Review] button.

Pause and Resume – To Pause – From the Active Job screen, tap the orange [⏸ Pause] button. The elapsed timer stops and a ⏸Paused badge appears. To Resume – Tap the [▶ Resume] button. The timer restarts. The paused interval is automatically subtracted from your total when you end the job.

Selecting Tags

Tags are how the system identifies which block or variety your time applies to. They appear as coloured chips once you choose an activity. Tap each chip you want to include. A selected chip turns dark green. Tap it again to deselect. There is no limit on how many you can select at once. If the tag you need is not in the list, type it into the text box labelled “Enter custom tag… and click Add”, then tap [Add]. Your custom tag appears as a selected chip and is saved to the system for future jobs of the same activity.

Comments before starting

Comments are timestamped notes attached to a job record. They appear in the Comment column of the time records spreadsheet. Use comments for additional job details. For example, which rows are you working on? What’s the weather like? What’s the plan?

Comments while working

On the Active Job screen, type in the Add Comment field and tap [💬 Add Comment]. Each comment is prepended with the current time. Multiple comments are separated by line breaks and stacked in order. All previous comments are shown in the Previous Comments section below the input. What are you observing while working?

Reviewing Job Records

The Job Review screen lets you see all your saved time records filtered by date range. Tap [📋 Job Review] on the Start a Job screen to open it.

Adjusting job duration

If a job’s recorded duration is wrong — for example because you forgot to pause during a break — you can submit a correction from the Job Review screen.
