Toggl Track

Gutes Tool zum Zeit-Tracken

Kommentare: Insgesamt schätze ich Toggl für die Einfachheit und die Integrationen. Das Browser-Plugin sowie die App funktionieren gut, der Rest lässt sich über die WebApp einstellen.

Vorteile:

Ich habe mich für Toggl entschieden, da es perfekt zusammen mit ToDoIst funktioniert. So kann ich meine Aufgaben mit einem Klick mit tracken.

Nachteile:

Generell bin ich sehr zufrieden, nur eine Schnittstelle zu meinem Programm für die Rechnungsstellung wäre noch hilfreich.

Awesome! Best Time Tracker

Kommentare: It has been wonderful. Very easy to use for tracking our time. Love the analytics

Vorteile:

We have been using Toggl for a time study and it has been working great.

Nachteile:

There is nothing I don't like about Toggl

Toggl is Fabulous for Time Tracking!

Kommentare: I've been using it for 5+ years and love it! Easy to use, easy to setup, and helpful for accountability on where your time is going.

Vorteile:

Toggl is easy to use! You can create projects easily, add team members, and get a great understanding of where your time is going on a daily, weekly, monthly, or annual basis.

Nachteile:

It sometimes randomly will open a new tab in your web browser to tell you about changes happening to Toggl.

Kommentare: getting unusable due to failings of toggl plan

Vorteile:

once upon a time, it was working. nowadays its use is fading

Nachteile:

poor support, does not work with toogl plan,

The best tool out there for time tracking!!

Kommentare: Love it!! Has been the best tool I’ve found for time tracking and there’s so many small details that make it very user friendly and not the normal tracker

Vorteile:

The ease of Toggl has made it so much easier to track my time compared to other apps. I use it everyday and it’s hands down the best solution I’ve tried. Every small feature makes a huge difference and that’s why I keep using it. I have ADHD and time blindness is soooo hard for me. So having a fool proof system and all the bells and whistles are the only thing that is truly keeping me in line. I use the chrome plugin, the desktop tool, mobile so I can start and stop quickly. I love the new feature where it shows what was detected so you can guess in case you need to go back and add manual time. I also really appreciate the new feature where when you switch windows, it will suggest you start recording your time in case you forgot. That reminders and the email reminder that my timer is still running is huge!! The multiple categories and recall of related and past projects that auto populate suggest are also amazing. The color coding and ability to switch between calendar and list view is super helpful and I use both every day.

Nachteile:

This isn’t really a Toggl issue but I often forget to turn it off, frequently. The emails are helpful but often I don’t see them until later and if it’s out of sight, it’s out of mind. Since Toggl had the ability to see in the background what apps I’m using, if it notices none are being used, offering a suggested turn off that you can opt in when you return. Where either in the warning email or when you you see the timer next it would say, it’s still running but “we recommend ending it here”

Love it but expensive when have a team

Kommentare: Love it so much but with a growing team I might need to look for alternatives since the price is a bit high.

Vorteile:

How user friendly it is! I've easily been able to add clients and it's so easy to switch between tasks. I also love how the tab shows the timer time- it's a feature that I love since sometimes I will switch to a difference task but forget to update Toggl but when I see the timer running it reminds me to update the task or just get a read on how long I've been working on a task.

Nachteile:

I recently hired a team member and realized I need to upgrade Toggl in order to run any reports with the team member' time. It is really expensive to be on a paid plan especially since this team member only works 5ish hours a month. Wish there were lower cost options for small teams. I also help my clients do time audits and usually this is a barrier to entry when there are a lot of team members.

Great time tracking app!

Kommentare: I have been using Toggl Track for over four years now, and it has greatly improved my budget estimation and time management

Vorteile:

There are many ways to view the hours you’ve logged and you can log hours for multiple organizations with one free account. It’s a very comprehensive app overall

Nachteile:

The mobile app lacks the different calendar views the website. I am not sure how to use the analytics features and I am confused by how you save different layouts. Maybe it’s something that becomes more clear with the paid versions.

Very useful for medical students

Vorteile:

The calendar feature in the app with dragging to adjust time is indispensable. The analysis features are awesome, being able to see how much time is spent each day and on what. The pomodoro integration is nice and keeps me accountable. As a medical student, this tool is very powerful for managing time and keeping on track.

Nachteile:

I wish I could generate a Google Calendar link and then use that to link my Google Cal with Toggl. I do not want to have to log in to my Google account in order to have this feature, and I’d like to have it as a separate calendar which I can toggle on and off on the Google side.

Feature Rich Yet, Easy To Use

Kommentare: I have tried a lot of time tracking apps, some are more feature rich than toggl, but from my experience, the team at toggl have figured out a decent balance b/w complexity & ease of use

Vorteile:

The free plan has almost everything you need to effectively manage & track your time. This & the fact that it is available on all platforms, makes logging a time entry effortless

Nachteile:

I wish there was an integration to be able to take some sort of notes for each time entry

A very handy app!

Kommentare: Toggl is one of the best apps I've found for time tracking, whether for business or personal use!

Vorteile:

A super easy interface Quick time tracking Great reporting

Nachteile:

Most of the billing-related features are only available to paying users. While that's understandable, it's the only major con I could think of.

Use it almost every day

Kommentare: Solid product, I wish there was a quicker way to round time to full hours / half hours or full minutes though, atm you have to manually modify it.

Vorteile:

Ease of use to log time by just opening the page and pressing one button. The summary of the time, which tells me how long I worked on what. Also that times can be nicely edited.

Nachteile:

Sometimes I open it and accidentally start tracking. Then 8 hours later I receive an email telling me that I'm tracking the whole time.

Intuitive. Useful. Generous free plan.

Kommentare: I have been using Toggl Track off and on for about 3 years now. I used it to track how much time I spent doing homework for college classes to get a better understanding of how much work a 3-credit-hour class actually takes, and now I'm using it to track my hours at work. I have used the free plan the entire time and find it to be sufficient for all of my needs. It's a simple piece of software that makes my life easier.

Vorteile:

The free plan offers a lot of functionality without paying a penny. The user interface is very efficient and intuitive to use - just press the play button and you're off. I like that I can categorize my time entries into different projects to get a more detailed view of where my time is going and then see a weekly report with it all summarized.

Nachteile:

It seems like reports don't load/update on the Android mobile app unless you're connected to Internet and it has a chance to sync your time entries, which kind of makes sense, but also doesn't to me. I work in rural areas with limited Internet connectivity, so it's a little annoying to not be able to load my reports while out in the field.

Essential Time-Tracking Tool for Freelancers

Kommentare: My experience with Toggl Track has been overwhelmingly positive. It’s a simple yet powerful tool that fits perfectly into my routine as a freelancer. Tracking my 3-hour workdays has never been easier, and the insights it provides have helped me stay focused and productive. While there’s a minor hiccup with the mobile app, it doesn’t take away from the overall value Toggl Track brings to my workflow. It’s become an essential part of how I manage my time and stay on top of my tasks. Highly recommend!

Vorteile:

As a freelancer working just 3 hours a day, Toggl Track has been a game-changer for managing my time efficiently. The intuitive interface makes it incredibly easy to start and stop timers, even when switching between tasks or projects. I love how customizable it is—you can tag and categorize your activities to see exactly where your time is going. The detailed reports are another standout feature. They give me clear insights into how my hours are spent, helping me optimize my workflow and ensure I’m staying productive. Plus, the ability to set up reminders and integrate with tools I already use keeps everything streamlined. Overall, Toggl Track has not only helped me stay organized but also made me more aware of how valuable my time is. It’s perfect for freelancers like me who need simple yet effective time-tracking without the hassle.

Nachteile:

The only downside I’ve found is that the mobile app can feel a bit clunky at times, especially when editing entries or adding details retroactively. It’s not a dealbreaker, but smoother functionality here would make it even better.

Many great features, few flaws, great support!

Kommentare: I don't know what I would do without it!

Vorteile:

That I can have a separate workspace for each client. That is does 7-day tracking and allows you to choose your own start of the week day. I love the fact that it now groups and adds up the times for distinct Tasks in a single day-space, but see Cons section. The fact that it allows me to track time for multiple projects for a single client and keeps the totals distinct. But see Cons . Support Team are really helpful and responsive.

Nachteile:

The fact that it does not give one the ability to round times tracked either up or down to the nearest complete fraction of an hour. If one does not do this , the total time for a day can be off and then multiple days like this cause an incorrect weekly total time. So I have to do the rounding manually for billing purposes. This is a pain.

Time Tracking for Life

Kommentare: I’ve tried other time trackers & they did not have these features. I will definitely always choose Toggl!

Vorteile:

I use Toggl for all of my time; business & personal. I love how you can start typing any word that you’ve used in a description & it will start listing the recent ones with those letters/words. I also like that eventually, but not too quickly, those recents will go away so that old events don’t bog down my list of choices. It’s super quick for me to switch to a new time; sometimes, if I’m in a real time crunch, I’ll just press play on any recent tracked time to quickly get a new one started & then when I have a chance, I just change the description. I like that they made it super easy on their website to change old descriptions in mass, sometimes I change my mind about how I like to see things. I just go to the reports that show each tracked time separately & filter by the one I want to change, or, I sort alphabetically & go through the history to make sure I like all the current ones. I do that big one about once a year. I like my historical reports to be consistent.

Nachteile:

Once in a while, there have been errors or changes they make that I don’t like but they are very fast at fixing it & receptive to hear the details of the issues I have. They’ll even ask me for more details & if I can provide recordings of errors occurring. That shows they actually care when people have a problem, in my opinion.

Highly recommend for time tracking!

Kommentare: I've been using Toggl Track for years. When I started out as a freelancer, a friend recommended I try Toggl Track - and I haven't looked back! I have multiple clients and projects, and Toggl Track keeps track of all my hours.

Vorteile:

Toggle Track is easy and straightforward to setup and use. It has some great features and handy integrations.

Nachteile:

I wish there was an option to connect to Xero. I know you can invoice through Toggl Track however I use Xero for all my accounting.

Reliability and simplicity

Kommentare: Great! As said above it has been a very reliable and user friendly tool for the last few years . Keep it that way

Vorteile:

Reliability and simplicity: the tool is very user friendly, intuitive, does not have show stopper that generate error messages or similar and highly reliable. I don’t need many of advanced and less advanced features available. I does perfectly the job it needs to do.

Nachteile:

If i were a new user i may find it less intuitive than originally it was few years ago. Many large companies may have reasons to limit access to thrid-party tools beyond Microsoft tools and reluctant to integrate with other ERP. Perhaps something to explore

Perfect, free version for client-based, billable hours-type work

Vorteile:

My non-profit/association management company uses Toggl Track heavily, as we have to track all time to a specific organization and project/task within that organization. We use the free version and I love how it is easy to create color-coded "clients" and add "projects" within each "client." I personally track time manually, by the five minutes, and that system works for me. I know that there is a way to use a stopwatch, which several of my colleagues prefer. The free version provides just enough for what you need if you do not require elaborate reporting. There is also a way to view basic reports of your time tracked for the week, by the client or project, to get a sense of your work overview if time tracking is essential to your job.

Nachteile:

I find that Toggl Track often experiences outages and bugs. It's not a terrible amount, but it seems more often than other platforms that we use. I also wish there was an easier way to track lunch/non-billable breaks where the time doesn't show in the weekly time report and I need to manually subtract unassigned project time.

A time tracking tool that works with all my devices and apps

Kommentare: For a small number of projects, I need to keep track of my hours. Toggl Track does that very well in a variety of ways and produces useful reports too. I have just started using auto tracking with calendar events and the browser, which should be very useful.

Vorteile:

Good interface and accessible on the web or phone app, with additional extensions created all the time.

Nachteile:

Sometimes the Windows app is slow to start. Just started using auto tracking features which hopefully means I no longer have to worry about forgetting to track or stop the timer.

Simple yet effective.

Kommentare: I use Toggle probably in an unorthodox way. I am a solo game developer and like to keep track of my own time to keep myself accountable. I don't use the reports or other functions, just setting timers for different aspects of my project.

Vorteile:

Ease of quick use, I start up my computer and click a button. Simple yet effective. Nothing gets in my way of just making a time entry. The ability to go back and see time entries is nice too.

Nachteile:

I feel it has gotten more bloated by integration to all the other Toggl apps, which I don't use.

Toggl is a lifesaver for timesheets

Kommentare: I have to fill out detailed timesheets every week at work, and I was always scribbling notes down, losing my notes, forgetting to take notes, and generally stressing about where my time went that week. Now I keep track automatically in Toggl and I can review my week on Friday and fill out my timesheet quickly and painlessly! I did list some cons, as there is definitely some room to improve, but this little tool has greatly reduced my stress so I am happy to give it 5 stars. I've been recommending it to anyone who will listen.

Vorteile:

I love the calendar feature where I can view how I spent blocks of time on each day. It is also easy to adjust after the fact (something I do a lot, as sometimes I start working on a task and forget to start the timer).

Nachteile:

I often leave it running by accident, and I don't like how I have to go in and manually fix it when this happens. I think I should be able to set an automatic cutoff. It's also a little clunky, especially switching between the mini timer and the full view; but that is not a huge pain point. I wish the calendar was labelled with days of the week too, not just dates, to make it easier to see my work week at a glance.

Great tool

Kommentare: I use Toggl Track every day. In my business, it's vital that I know how long a project will take so I can give the client a reliable estimate as to when they'll have it back and also so I can provide them with an accurate and fair rate quote at the start of the project.

Vorteile:

I am a book editor, and I use Toggl Track to keep track of the time I put in for each stage of a project - the tags are great for that!

Nachteile:

I would love a report that gives total time per project and then per tag for each project, without regard to week or date at all. If projects run more than a week, I often have to gather and add up those numbers myself. As a freelancer, the dates/weeks don't matter to me at all.

Very reliant on this app

Kommentare: I could not do without it now! It's like one of my larder staples!

Vorteile:

Easy to use, reports look very professional and timer is useful

Nachteile:

I don't like not being able to see all my workspaces on the same day. This was changed recently, and sometimes switching from one work space is clunky as it refuses to change workspace sometimes!

Great app! Lifesaver!

Kommentare: Sometimes I have 6 or more entries for one of my clients... I take frequent breaks and get interrupted by other clients. Its so easy to switch the timer on and off or switch to another client. For monthly billing, I go back to reports and its very easy to switch clients and look back through several weeks.

Vorteile:

Toggl Track was/is a life saver. I have multiple clients and switch between clients (remotely) a lot. I used to use a paper on my desk, but now i have a laptop and don't a desk. It makes it easy to total hours for billing in reports.

Nachteile:

I probably don't use a lot of the features ... maybe could benefit more from the app, plus i inadvertently set up clients as projects early on. Need to fix that
