As a software engineer, you might find yourself juggling a critical architectural refactor, a front-end redesign, and an open-source project — all while trying to carve out some downtime. Managing your time effectively isn't just a skill, but it's a vital part of a modern-day software engineer's tech stack.

We, as engineers, created DoubleTime exactly for this purpose. A tool that helps you track, manage, and optimise your time as efficiently as you code, making your workday smoother and more productive.

Time Tracking That Actually Makes Sense for Devs

DoubleTime is designed for engineers, offering features that enhance productivity and organisation:

• A unified task list for fast context-switching during intense coding sessions.

• A global search bar to easily find or create new tasks on the fly.

• Automatic tagging of tasks using your own custom keywords or phrases to maintain structure, and speed.

• Detailed reports that break down time spent, filtered by your custom tags for valuable productivity insights.

By leveraging these features, DoubleTime keeps you organised and focused, allowing for easy task management and data-driven decisions.

Tame the Task Beast with Tagging

DoubleTime’s flexible tagging system lets you stay organised using your own filing structure:

• Create custom tags based on task type or project component — or whatever works for you — to track time effectively.

• Use client tags to organise and filter tasks by client, streamlining your workflow.

• Quickly filter and locate related tasks to maintain a clear view of your workload.

These features allow you to manage tasks intuitively, helping you stay focused and reduce complexity.

Prioritise Like a Senior Dev

Effectively prioritising tasks is crucial. DoubleTime’s tagging system allows you to create a personalised priority setup:

• Tag tasks as "Urgent," "High Priority," or "Tech Debt" to highlight importance.

• Combine tags for a nuanced view (e.g., "Urgent" and "Bug Fix").

• Use tags to set up a personal kanban board to visually track task progress, swiping left to mark tasks as "Done."

…and to let you in on a secret, we’re working on making this even easier for you.

Client Management Made Simple

DoubleTime also makes managing client work straightforward:

• Create client tags to group all related tasks and time entries for different projects.

• Filter tasks by client to easily view time spent and project progress.

• Generate client-specific reports for clear billing and project management insights.

• Maintain accountability with detailed task notes, ensuring no detail is overlooked.

These features keep your client work organised and transparent, making switching between clients seamless.

Invoicing That Doesn't Make You Want to Rewrite It In Rust

• Generate invoices directly from tracked time entries, either by task or by day.

• Customise your invoice template to match your brand.

• Send professional invoices quickly, ensuring timely payments.
