Time Tracking in Outlook

Jan 25, 2012

I’ve had a number of people ask me if there were time tracking tools that work with Outlook, for tracking billable time.

Here is one product that just came to my attention. Called Chrometa and it is a plug-in for Outlook. They say it will track how long you are in specific emails (reading, writing). I have no idea if it is any good, but the need seems to be out there so I hope this info helps someone. If you try it, let me know how it goes.

  1. You should definately also take a look at TimeSheet Reporter which makes it possible to register time directly in your Outlook calendar.

    Can you calrify exactly what functionality you're looking for in calendar syncing? Do you want it to import your appointments and somehow automatically categorize that time into buckets? –  Jul 7 at 11:36

    Hi Micheal,

    Thanks for sharing this indeed. However we had been using Replicon’s time tracking software (http://www.replicon.com/time-tracking-software.aspx) which is also an awesome tool.

    Hi Michael, thanks for suggesting Chrometa as a time tacking for outlook. As a freelance worker I’ve been also using this time tracking tool called Timedoctor (http://www.timedoctor.com/) that tracks accurately time spent on each application and websites that are actively being used. Using this tool it helps me get more things done and help bill clients.

    Try OutlookTime. It plugs into Outlook and allows you to turn your appointments and emails into timesheets. It’s really simple and easy to use and saves me hours every week.

    Michael,

    This is great information. We have been using Pacific Timesheet ’s time and expense tracking software (http://www.pacifictimesheet.com) which is extremely flexible and can match all of our timesheet requirements across our company.

    Since last year we migrated to Temponia (https://www.temponia.com). We used an offline product before.
    Temponia allow us to convert calendar items from Outlook into time tracking. Your calendar appear in their app. Another bonus was their single sign on so we don’t need to relogin anymore.

    It’s been working great for us so far.
    BTW we use Office365, I’m not sure if it would work in desktop Outlook too.
