Overview
Timeneye's Timeline View introduces a visual approach to time tracking that displays work with specific start and end timestamps. This feature provides an intuitive, hour-by-hour representation of how time is allocated throughout the day.
Key Features
- Hourly Visualization: See your entire day laid out in a visual timeline
- Start/End Timestamps: Track not just duration but exact work periods
- Visual Time Blocks: Different projects and tasks appear as distinct blocks
- Gap Identification: Easily spot untracked time or breaks in your day
- Drag-and-Drop Editing: Adjust time entries visually by dragging block boundaries
- Overlap Detection: System identifies when time blocks overlap
- Color Coding: Different projects or clients shown in different colors
How It Works
The Timeline View presents your workday as a visual chart where:
- The horizontal axis represents time of day (e.g., 9 AM to 5 PM)
- Each task/project appears as a colored block
- Block length corresponds to time duration
- Blocks stack vertically when tasks overlap or run concurrently
- Gaps between blocks show untracked time
