Manual Time Entry
Chronoid tracks app and website usage automatically, but some work happens away from the screen — meetings, phone calls, whiteboard sessions, or pair programming. Manual time entries let you fill those gaps so your time records are complete.
Create a New Entry
- Click Add Entry (or use the right-click context menu on the timeline)
- Fill in the details:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Title | What you were doing (e.g., Team standup, Client call) |
| Notes | Optional details or context |
| Project | Assign to a project for reporting |
| Billable | Toggle on to include in invoice calculations |
| Start time | When the activity began |
| End time | When the activity ended |
The duration is calculated automatically from start and end times.
Quick Time Adjustments
Use the -15m and +15m buttons to quickly adjust start or end times in 15-minute increments. This is faster than manually editing the time fields for small adjustments.
Edit an Existing Entry
To modify a manual time entry:
- Double-click the entry in the activity list, or
- Right-click and select Edit
All fields can be updated after creation.
Tips
- Default is the last 30 minutes — New entries default to a 30-minute block ending at the current time, so creating entries for a meeting you just finished is quick
- Use for stand-ups and recurring meetings — Create entries for regular meetings to keep your time records accurate
- Mark entries as billable — For client meetings and calls, toggle billable so they appear in invoices
- Assign to projects — Always assign a project so manual entries show up correctly in stats and reports
