Time Tracking

Is there a way to track my time with upwork without the desktop app and annoying screenshots?

You can manually enter your hours within the work diary (My Jobs in top navigation --> Work Diary --> click on green button "Add Manual Time").  However, the client can dispute the hours.  The desktop app offers freelancers protection.  Since you're a newbie, I suggest just doing it with the app until you find clients you can trust (and who trust you).

Good luck!

Thanks Robin.  It's just annoying.   🙂

Hi Rosemarie, 

I wouldn't recommend adding manual time to your Work Diary since it doesn't fall under the Hourly Protection of the Upwork Payment Protection program. Instead, you can go to your Upwork Desktop App's settings, and in the Screen Capture settings, please turn off desktop notifications. 

Let me know if you have other questions!
