Timers & timesheets

Time in Every is tracked against tasks, either with a live timer or by logging it directly, and rolls up into your weekly timesheet, capacity reports, and retainer budgets.

The timer

Open any task and press Start Timer. A badge appears in the top bar with the task reference and a running clock, and it stays with you wherever you go in the app. You can have one timer running at a time; starting another means stopping the first.

When you press Stop Timer (on the task, or from the top-bar badge), Every doesn't just save blindly. A review step shows the entry first:

• Duration is pre-filled with the elapsed time, and you can correct it. "2h", "30m", and "1h30m" are all valid.
• Date defaults to when the timer started.
• Description is optional but future-you will thank present-you.

Choose Save to record it, Resume to keep the timer going, or Discard if it was a false start.

Logging time directly

Prefer to log after the fact? Every task has a Log Time button with the same three fields: duration, date (today or earlier), and description. The dashboard's weekly timesheet also has a Log Time button so you can fill gaps without hunting down the task first.

You can also just tell your AI assistant: "log 2 hours on ST-1 for yesterday".

Time entries on a task

The Time Entries tab on each task lists every entry: who, how long, when, and the description, with the task's total at the top. You can always edit or delete your own entries. Seeing or changing other people's entries requires the relevant time-entry permissions, typically reserved for managers.

Your weekly timesheet

If time tracking is enabled for you, the dashboard leads with your week: hours tracked against your weekly target, with a progress bar that turns green when you hit it.

• Compact view is a seven-day grid showing the shape of your week at a glance.
• Detailed view breaks each day into its entries, task by task, with tracked versus target per day.

Navigate to previous weeks with the arrows, or jump back with Today. Your weekly target comes from the weekly hours set on your team profile, spread across weekdays.

Where the hours go

Every entry feeds three places: the task (and through it, any retainer the task counts toward), your own weekly timesheet, and the agency-level reports where tracked time meets targets and capacity.
