Hello! 👋
I am so excited to share Worked Today with you all so thanks for checking it out.
Worked Today was born out of 3 companies I've worked at previously who all had requirements to track time spent on projects for various reporting reasons.
A lot of the existing time tracking tools are aimed at agencies where time needs to be recorded down to the minute for client billing purposes. In my experience this has several issues...
- it makes the tools painful and tedious to use
- team members struggle to remember to update them regularly
- team members feel a lack of trust at their time is being micro-managed
- tools that attempt to auto track time often end up a mess
Worked Today solves these issues by...
- only tracking whole or half days
- nudging users to track their time via Slack or Email
- including one-click options in nudges to make things as fast as possible
I'm proud of where Worked Today is for a v1, we have small user base of paying customers and the feedback has been really positive so far from everyone who's tried it out but there's lots more improvements in the pipeline.
I'd love any feedback anyone is willing to give about the idea or product.
Thanks a bunch,
Andy. ❤

We're currently a week into trialling worked.today after trying both physical printouts and a shared Google doc. Within days the team were remarking about the Slack integration, how easy it is to remember to record their time, and how delightful the UI is. Great job, looking forward to seeing more!
We've been using the beta for the past few months and it really is perfect for small teams like ours where we only need day or half day tracking. As others have said the email and slack nudges at the end of the day are incredibly simple and 99% of the time mean time tracking is a single click per day. First time tracking software I've used that doesn't feel like it sucks up even more time!
@nickdtech Thanks Nick and really glad you are digging the simplicity.
Good to hear we are living up the one click time tracking promise and keeping your team on track and distraction free.

So much simpler and easy to use compared to other time tracking tools. Great UI and Slack integration so I never forget to track my time at the end of each day!
UI Looks great. My organization is currently struggling to find the right tool for time tracking and considering options. Integration and Nudges via SLACK and EMAIL are great features. But not able to put hours can be a stopper for some. But overall looks great. Agree that most people hate time tracking..
@mayurmacwan Thanks for the feedback, I am really glad you like the UI and can see the value in the product.
I do understand the concerns around more fine grained time tracking and I have been experimenting with some ideas to allow for more granular recording than half days. On the whole though I think there are lots of time trackers that support minute by minute tracking and I personally have quite strong opinions as to why that isn't always the best option.
Thanks again for the feedback and I would be honoured if you would take the product for a spin whilst you are evaluating your options.

Really like the UI, but when it comes to reporting hours (due to need for billing, legal requirements etc.) it won't able usable. For folks that just want to know on what who was working on - it's perfect :)
@dennis_ruske Thanks, yes, this is exactly the balance, I have opted for a super streamlined experience for internal teams but if you have more granular requirements then there are a lot of existing alternatives on the market.
One other way of looking at this is for teams who currently struggle to get people to track their time. Getting buy-in from everyone to track _something_ even at a high level is often better than tracking nothing or having incomplete data.

After containing a minor developer rebellion caused by asking them to use Toggl we switched to the early beta version of worked.today and suddenly everyone was happy. Very quick and easy to use, non-intrusive and provides all the granularity you need for many many cases.
