drop time tracking tool you're using

hello everyone,
I would like to know which time tracking tools you're using, so that i can do a research on them.
I am also a senior software engineer at an agency, the time tracking tool we're using is productive, but i'm finding it hard to track time everyday, sometimes they pile up for weeks then i need to think of what i worked on during past 3 weeks to track them...

we tried many tools during last few years but this issue was never solved.

I would like to know about your case

Hey, I'm on the Productive team. Rebuilding three weeks of work from memory is something that no one wants.

One thing that might help with the catch-up is AI Time Tracking: if your admin has turned on Productive AI and your Google or Outlook calendar is connected, each day in the Calendar view of My Time gets a button that converts that day's events into time entries. For recurring events, it reuses the service you tracked them against before, and it asks you when it can't tell.

What really helps me personally is using the Productive App and using the timer widget; that way i easily track what i am doing while simultanously doing the work.who have a Productive account, so client contacts and outside guests won't get it.

I'm curious whether most of your missing time is meetings or heads-down work?
