Running Timer

When a timer is active, Hourforge may process its start time, current duration, selected project, and optional note.

The timer can be stopped, switched to another project, resumed, or edited as part of normal local use.

Timer activity is not sent to a remote tracking service.

A manual entry may contain a date, start time, end time or duration, project association, and optional note.

These records remain local to the application.

History and Editing

Hourforge may store previous time entries so users can review how time was spent across individual days.

Existing entries may be edited to correct forgotten stops, incorrect durations, notes, or project assignments.

Time breakdown

Day, Week, and Month Views

Hourforge may summarize tracked time by project across daily, weekly, and monthly periods.

These summaries are calculated from local entries so users can understand where their time was spent.

Reporting calculations are performed locally and are not generated by a remote analytics service.
03:00 Value
Hourly rates

Estimated Work Value

Users may assign an hourly rate to a project. Hourforge can multiply that rate by tracked time to display an estimated running total.

These calculations are informational only. Hourforge does not issue invoices, process payments, move money, or connect to banking services.

Hourly rates and calculated totals are not sent to the developer.

03:30 Storage
On-device data

Local Storage

Hourforge may store projects, time entries, notes, hourly rates, history, preferences, and report information in local application storage.
