7 Best Free Linux Time Tracking Software
Time tracking software is a type of computer software that
records time spent on tasks. This category of software can enable
users to run billing reports, and prepare invoices for clients.
The deployment of this software offers a new level of
productivity to organisations, as it provides management with
information on what time is spent by employees on different activities
such as projects and tasks. This can help
to measure productivity over time. This software is commonly used by
professionals that charge clients
by the hour such as accountants, solicitors, and freelancers. The
generation of automatic invoices with minimal or no data entry
removes the inconvenience of billing and invoicing clients, and
improves efficiency.
There is a fairly limited selection of free Linux time
tracking tools available. This article identifies our favourite tools.
We have not included Charm in the list below. Whilst this project shows
considerable promise, it is in a very early stage of development.
To provide an insight into the quality of software that is
available, we have compiled a list of 7 impressive free Linux time
tracking applications. Hopefully, there will be something of interest
here for anyone who wants to keep track of time spent on tasks.
Now, let's explore the 7 time tracking applications at hand.
For each title we have compiled its own portal page, a full description
with an in-depth analysis of its features, a screenshot, together with
links to relevant resources and reviews.
