How switching between jobs works

A place for every client and every job.

Organise time as much as you need to, and no more. There are no projects, phases or task trees to maintain.

Customers
The people or businesses you work for.
Jobs
A matter, engagement, callout or project for a customer.
Sessions
Each period of recorded work, with its pauses excluded.
Optional rates
Add an hourly rate and see the value. Leave it out and TapSpan records time only.
Several paused sessions
Leave more than one piece of work waiting and return to any of them.
Simple history
Every session listed by day, ready to check or correct.

Know where your time went.

Recorded sessions by day, totals by customer and job, and a value wherever you’ve set a rate. Export to CSV when you need the figures somewhere else.

History Sessions by day, with daily totals.
Summary Day, week or month, by customer.
Export and backup CSV export and local backups.

TapSpan records and totals your time. It doesn’t create invoices or analyse your business. Exported CSV files work with the spreadsheet or invoicing tool you already use.

Different work. Same need to keep track.
