Pair a tracker

Before you can use a tracker, you need to pair it with the TimeTac desktop app via Bluetooth.

Follow these steps

  1. Open the TimeTac desktop app.
  2. Navigate to Tracker in the menu.
  3. Click Add tracker.
  4. Make sure Bluetooth is enabled on your device.
  5. The app searches for nearby trackers. Select your tracker from the list.
  6. Click Save to complete the pairing.

Tip: Keep the tracker close to your computer during the pairing process for a stable Bluetooth connection.

Assign activities to tracker sides

Each tracker has two sides. You can assign a different activity or project to each side so that flipping the tracker switches between them.

Follow these steps

  1. Navigate to Tracker in the desktop app.
  2. Select the tracker you want to configure.
  3. Click Edit.
  4. For each side, select an activity and optionally a project.
  5. Click Save.

Edit a tracker name

Give your tracker a custom name to easily identify it.

Follow these steps

  1. Navigate to Tracker in the desktop app.
  2. Select the tracker.
  3. Click Edit.
  4. Enter a new name in the name field.
  5. Click Save.

Connect and disconnect a tracker

You can temporarily disconnect a tracker without unpairing it. This stops time tracking without removing the device from your account.

  • Connect: Navigate to Tracker, select the tracker, and click Connect.
  • Disconnect: Select the tracker and click Disconnect.

Unpair a tracker

Unpairing permanently removes the tracker from your account. You can pair it again later if needed.

Follow these steps

  1. Navigate to Tracker in the desktop app.
  2. Select the tracker you want to remove.
  3. Click Delete.

Warning: Unpairing a tracker does not delete any time entries that were already recorded with it.
