Hi Tayko, if you are looking for a time tracking tool that can give you visualizations on your day to day data. You better check out Time Doctor. Using this tool it tracks of all of your activities and give you analytics for your work day, allowing you to improve your productivity and eliminate less productive activities. This gives you a reading on exactly where you spent your time, and how much of that time was productive or unproductive.
You can also check this article regarding comparative reports about uses and features between RecueTime and Time Doctor. It can also help you determine which among of these tools is better to use that can help you track time accurately and improve productivity.
Anyone know of a simpler time tracker. I tried Manic Time but it slowed down my pc and did a lot I didn’t want. All I want is to be able to push a button on my pc that starts a timer and then asks for the task name. When the task is finished, I press another button to stop. I do that for up to 10 tasks. At the end of the day I would like a report saying how much time was spent on each task. Same for week and month.
I tried trial versions of several of the recommendations above. They did a lot of things that I didn’t want,for instance, keeping track of Internet sites I visited. I ended up with Toggl which fits my needs perfectly. It is simple, free, and non-intrusive. See my posts above for what I was looking for.

For any developers out there, I use this plugin for Eclipse (only works for Eclipse and VB) called Codealike. Keeps track of everything that happens inside the IDE. So you can tell how much time you spend on each task, minute by minute, and it measures your distractions and your highest moments of productivity. I found it really helpful.
I’ve been tracking my use of time and how it maps to goals.
Is anyone else doing Time analytics? I’ve automated it but have more to do. What are you using?
I’ve been using Gleeo for Android because I’m interested in tracking my time spent away from the computer as well.
It’s an excellent app, but it doesn’t have an iPhone version.

Thank you for the help. Indeed good find for comparative reports. I can now track time more accurately.
I use Workvector. It’s not free but it’s really easy to use and reviews the work very well. Also takes almost not time to report the work. I highly recommend to check it out.
Hello! I prefer TMetric time tracker. It’s free and full-featured (time tracking, reporting, different 3rd party integrations and so on). You can look through generated reports or use them for further analysis. There is no need to spend a lot of time on customization because of its simplicity.
You should check it definitely.
I use ActivityWatch.
There many platforms to use when tracking time and work. But many of them are so complicated and take so much of my time. But since I started to use workvector.com tracking time is no more waste and it has very clear overview of everything.
