FAQ

Can I run more than one job timer at a time? No, once a timer is running, Start Job is disabled on other jobs and shows "A timer is already running" until you stop the current one.

What happens to the timer if I navigate to another screen in the app? It keeps running the timer bar stays pinned to the bottom of the screen with the job number and elapsed time, so you can check on it or stop it from anywhere.

What's the difference between Hours Worked and Start/End Time? Hours Worked lets you type the total hours and minutes directly. Start/End Time instead uses a start and end time, pre-filled with when you started and stopped the timer, which you can adjust if needed.
