Today in time tracking
End-of-day reconstruction is inaccurate. And everyone knows it.
Accurate time tracking requires logging as work happens, not reconstructing it from memory. Developers switch contexts dozens of times per day, and opening Redmine to log each switch is impractical during focused work sessions. End-of-day reconstruction turns 30-minute tasks into one-hour estimates and the cumulative error makes project billing and resource reporting unreliable. Remote and offline work cannot be logged when Redmine requires a live connection.
In plain words
What is the Redmineflux Time Tracker ?
The Redmineflux Time Tracker is a real time time tracking plugin that sits in the system tray and connects directly to your Redmine instance. Browse and search your assigned issues, start and stop timers with a single click, and sync logged time automatically.
Time logging as a background habit, not a separate workflow step.
The Time Tracker removes the friction between doing work and recording it. Accurate time data flows into Redmine without requiring anyone to stop, navigate, and manually enter hours after the fact. The tray icon provides one-click timer access from anywhere on the plugin without switching windows or applications.
Teams using the Timesheet Plugin for project billing get better input data when the Time Tracker is logging hours in real time rather than reconstructed at day’s end. The data that drives billing decisions reflects what actually happened.
What your team gains
Accurate time data without the logging overhead.
Click any shift to see what changes in the tracking workflow.
01
Accurate time data logged as work happens, not reconstructed later.
Timers start and stop at the moment of task switching. Entries reflect actual time spent rather than estimated totals. Project billing and client reporting are based on real data.
02
No workflow interruption – system tray access keeps logging invisible.
One-click timer access from the tray without switching windows or applications. Developers log time without interrupting the focused work session being tracked.
03
Offline capability with automatic sync when reconnected.
All time entries are stored locally when Redmine is unreachable. The app syncs pending entries automatically when the connection restores – no manual upload, no lost time from connectivity gaps.
04
Idle detection prevents inflated time entries automatically.
When the system is idle for a configurable threshold, the timer pauses and prompts the user to discard or adjust the idle period on return. Entries stay accurate without manual corrections.
05
Logged time is saved as standard Redmine time entries.
Every entry recorded through the Time Tracker is stored as a Redmine time entry and appears in the plugin’s Summary, Detailed, and Weekly reports. Reports can be grouped or filtered by project, user, and activity, and exported to PDF, CSV, or XML.

Frequently asked
Questions before you download.
The questions teams actually ask before adopting Time Tracker. If yours isn't here, check pricing or contact support.
Does the Time Tracker plugin require any separate installation?
No. The Time Tracker installs directly into Redmine like any other Redmineflux plugin — no desktop client, no browser extension, nothing extra to configure. Once installed, the timer is available on every Redmine issue immediately.
Can multiple team members use the Time Tracker on the same Redmine instance?
Yes. The Time Tracker is a server-side Redmine plugin, so all users on the same Redmine instance can use it by logging in with their own Redmine accounts. Each user’s time entries stay linked to their own account. For the browser extension, each user configures their own Base URL and API Key.
Does the Time Tracker plugin work with Redmine’s existing time tracking and reporting features?
Yes. Time logged through the Time Tracker is saved as Redmine time entries and is available in the plugin’s Summary, Detailed, and Weekly reports. Reports can be grouped and filtered by project, user, and activity, and exported to PDF, CSV, or XML.
Which operating systems are supported?
The Redmineflux Time Tracker is available for Windows (Windows 10 and later) and macOS (macOS 11 Big Sur and later). Check the product download page for the current supported OS version list and release notes before installing.
