We’ve made several improvements to the Upwork Desktop app to help you stay organized and provide more insight into the Time Tracker’s processes by displaying more notifications about what the app is doing on the backend. Let us know if you have any questions on the updates below.
Time Tracker Layout and Settings-
- “Time today” - shows billable time tracked in your local time zone, not in UTC. However, “Time this week” still shows the weekly billable time in UTC because our weekly billing is calculated in the UTC time zone.
- There is a connection status above the ON/OFF toggle informing you if the Time Tracker is online or offline.
- We removed the elapsed timer which increased each minute, and replaced it with a timer which increases in 10 minute intervals after a screen capture is taken and the time is registered as billable.
- At top of the time tracker, we are now showing the contract name, contact person and client company.
- Because your time tracked is now showing in your local time on the main page, when a new billing week is approaching (in UTC) and after a new billing week has started, we are showing a notification to avoid confusion.
Improvements in offline tracking:
- If the app loses connection with the server, the app will now display a notification on the screen until you dismiss it or until the connection is back.
- When you’re approaching the caching limit, you will see a notification.
- And once the app is back online, we show a notification and start uploading the cached screen captures.
