“Time tracking software is a type of computer software that
records time spent on tasks. This category of software can enable
users to run billing reports, and prepare invoices for clients.

“The deployment of this software offers a new level of
productivity to organisations, as it provides management with
information on what time is spent by employees on different
activities such as projects and tasks. This can help to measure
productivity over time. This software is commonly used by
professionals that charge clients by the hour such as accountants,
solicitors, and freelancers. The generation of automatic invoices
with minimal or no data entry removes the inconvenience of billing
and invoicing clients, and improves efficiency.

“There is a fairly limited selection of free Linux time tracking
tools available. This article identifies our favourite tools. We
have not included Charm in the list below. Whilst this project
shows considerable promise, it is in a very early stage of
development.”
