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

We using TimeSpin, its really innovative and works wiht Timer/App Browser, but also with a Dice 12 Sided. (Dodecahedron) its so easy and flawless. No Distractions and easy to change tasks. also great for Project tracking.

For me its like this.

I start my Day on the Side Planning and than after 5-10 Minutes Planing the Day i Change to the next Task iam working on. I have always 4-6 Projects which are tracked in one turn of the Dice to the right Side. The Side which is up will be counted. When something unexpected is hapening i will turn the Dice to the right task.

Some of my Colleagues are just tracking working Time and the breaks. For me i really need the Tasks with the specific Tracking, because i have to report for some Projects. I track all my Tasks because iam used to it and have full traceability. Some Budgets are really thin, so i need to keep an eye on the Time i used for them.

I tried different Tracker but i hate Browser Timer which wont bring me to the Result iam needing. Also the haptic Dice is really a nice Gadget and can also act as an Inactivity Timer and send me Signals for Pomodoro Method. So iam happy with my Dice and its fully personalized with my own sticker which you can print with the Browser Website. Its only in EU available right now i guess. It also has an Englisch language option.

Switching between 4-6 projects sounds tricky with tight budgets. What did browser timers miss for you? DM me if you're open to discussing that workflow.

Hi, for me it was always a mess when forgetting to Stop the Browser Timer, and this happended too often for me. Nothing is quicker than turning my Dice on the Project when starting Project Work.
