You enter the name of the task you are working on and press the button. Press the button again when you have finished working on the task.

The Widget updates a daily XML or CSV file. The file stores a list of the tasks you've worked on, and how long you worked on each one for. You can import the timesheet files into an application like Excel, or write your own script to convert the files into another format.

The information stored in the timesheet files are: task name, length in mil…liseconds, length in minutes, start time, stop time.

You can also predefine your own task names in the preferences so you don't have to type the task name in every time. These appear in the context menu of the text area (on windows, right click when the text cursor appears). You set the task name by selecting one of the predefined tasks.

I created this Widget because I am notoriously bad at doing timesheets and I find most time tracking applications too complicated for my purposes. More
