What’s New On EasyTime 1.1

• Ability to save reports as CSV files or HTML files

• Date navigation shorcuts to previous, current and next day
• Date navigation shorcuts to previous and next month

What Does EasyTime Do?

EasyTime is a program that automatically records how you or others use the programs installed on your computer. EasyTime provides two different reports:

The Totals by Program report shows the total time each program was active during a given time period.  With it you can get a sense of what programs are used the most, as well as how your time in front of the computer is spent (work vs. entertainment, etc.).The report includes the program name and the total time the program was active.

The Journal report shows a detailed log of the activity on your computer for a given time period. It allows you to know what exactly you were doing at any point in time. This report includes the program name, the window title, when the activity occurred, and how long it took.

EasyTime’s main window consists of the following elements:

• A toolbar with buttons to start/stop recording and show or hide the filters pane
• A report selection area with a reports list and a button to run/refresh the selected report
• A panel that allows you to set filters for the reports’ output
• A grid-like area for showing the output of the different reports

Recording Your Computer’s Activity with EasyTime

To star capturing the activity on your computer, right-click on EasyTime’s tray icon and click on the Start Recording menu.

If EasyTime’s main window is open, you can start capturing the activity on your computer by clicking on the Start Recording button.

Running Reports

To view any of the reports, select a report from the reports list and press the Run/refresh button.

Filtering Results

To filter your report’s results, first press the Show Filters button. The Filters panel should display.

Besides filtering by time periods, The Filters panel allows you to restrict the report’s results by how long the programs were active or by specific programs. Once you have set the filter values, press the Run/Refresh button in order to refresh the results of the report.

Next Steps

I’m currently working on adding building time-tracking features like time sheet generation and committed vs. uncommitted time reports, so look for these features in the next release.
