Categories

Categories are high-level groupings for your work. Each category has a name and color that appears throughout the app — in the sidebar, on calendar entries, and in reports.

1. 1
   Go to Timer Settings
2. 2
   Click Add Category
3. 3
   Enter a name (e.g., "Client Work", "Acme Corp", "Internal")
4. 4
   Choose a color from the palette
5. 5
   Click Save

Good category naming depends on your workflow. Here are common approaches:

1. 1
   Go to Timer Settings
2. 2
   Find the category in the list
3. 3
   Click the Edit (pencil) icon
4. 4
   Change the name or color
5. 5
   Click Save

When a client relationship ends or a project type is no longer relevant, archive the category instead of deleting it:

1. 1
   Edit the category
2. 2
   Toggle Archived on
3. 3
   Click Save

Archived categories:

• Don't appear in Quick Start or the sidebar
• Can't have new time tracked to their topics
• Still appear in historical reports and invoices
• Can be unarchived anytime

Categories appear in the sidebar and Quick Start in the order you arrange them. To reorder:

1. 1
   Go to Timer Settings
2. 2
   Grab the drag handle (six dots) to the left of a category
3. 3
   Drag up or down and drop in the desired position
