Getting Started with iTimedIT

Create your free account and track your first timer in under 2 minutes. Step-by-step guide for new users.

What is iTimedIT?

iTimedIT is a time tracking application built for freelancers, agencies, and small teams who need accurate, reliable time records without friction. Every timer runs on the server in real time, so your data is never lost if you close a tab or lose your connection. iTimedIT includes Pomodoro mode, project budget tracking with alerts, team workspaces, and push notifications — all accessible from the browser at app.itimedit.com without installing anything.

Step 1 — Create your account

Getting into iTimedIT takes less than a minute:

  1. Go to app.itimedit.com.
  2. Click Sign Up.
  3. Enter your email address and a password, or click Continue with Google to use your Google account.
  4. Confirm your email if prompted.

Once you complete sign-up, iTimedIT automatically creates a Personal Workspace for you. No configuration step is required — you can start tracking time immediately.

Step 2 — Create your first project

Timers in iTimedIT are always associated with a project. Projects let you group time entries, set an hourly rate for invoicing, and define a budget so you can track spend in real time.

  1. Click Projects in the left sidebar.
  2. Click New Project.
  3. Enter a project name. This is the only required field.
  4. Optionally, select or create a Client to associate with the project.
  5. Optionally, enter an Hourly Rate (used for billing calculations).
  6. Optionally, enter a Budget in hours or currency. iTimedIT will alert you as you approach and exceed the budget.
  7. Click Save.

Your new project appears in the Projects list and is immediately available in the timer’s project selector.

Step 3 — Start your first timer

  1. Click the Timer icon or navigate to the home screen.
  2. Select your project from the project dropdown.
  3. Optionally, type a short description of what you are working on. This helps with invoicing and reporting later.
  4. Click Start.

Starting a timer with project selected

The timer starts immediately. Because it runs on iTimedIT’s servers, it continues even if you close the browser tab, switch devices, or lose your internet connection for a moment. When you come back, the timer will be exactly where it should be.

Step 4 — Stop the timer and review your entry

When you are done working:

  1. Click Stop.
  2. iTimedIT saves the session as a complete time entry instantly.
  3. Click Entries in the sidebar to see your full history.

From the Entries page you can edit the project, description, category, or duration of any entry, or delete entries you no longer need.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is iTimedIT free to use?

A: Yes, you can start for free with no credit card required. Your Personal Workspace and core features — timers, projects, clients, and entry history — are available on the free plan. Premium features such as team workspaces and advanced budget reporting are available on paid plans.

Q: Do I need to install anything?

A: No. iTimedIT is a web application that runs entirely in your browser at app.itimedit.com. Nothing needs to be downloaded or installed on your computer. You can also add it to your home screen as a Progressive Web App (PWA) for quick access.

Q: What happens if I close the browser while a timer is running?

A: Nothing bad happens. iTimedIT timers run server-side, not in the browser tab. Closing the tab, shutting down your laptop, or switching devices does not stop or reset your timer. When you open iTimedIT again, the timer will still be running and will show the correct elapsed time.

Q: Can I use iTimedIT on mobile?

A: Yes. iTimedIT works in any mobile browser, and a native iOS app is available for iPhone and iPad. The iOS app gives you quick access to your timers, push notifications, and the full feature set of your account.
