Why would you use the tracker for a fixed-rate job?

Just to keep a time track for personal use ( Like counting the $ per hour worked earned etc).

You can delete the screenshots. But you should make sure you are always on the right contract and never accidently log time for the wrong client.

You can't just look at the clock?

I can't. I find timing all work, whether using Upwork's timer or my invoicing system, invaluable in making sure I'm getting a decent ROI on current contracts, and in helping me schedule and estimate accurately for prospective contracts.

Sorry I wasn't clear, I meant, you can't look at a clock and note on a spreadsheet or other document when you started and stopped?

Yes, I could make the process less automated and more complicated than using tools built for the purpose, and integrated with the billing systems.

There's a bunch of time clock apps out there for any operating system not connected to Upwork that can be used for this purpose.

Yes.

To keep track of how long it takes you to do the work.

If you have an employer, probably not. But your client can see them.
