Details on the browser extension
Time tracking options
The browser extension gives you access to all of awork's essential time tracking options. The tracked times are transferred to your connected workspace in real time. The extension offers you the following time tracking functions:
Start and stop the timer for projects or tasks
Pause the timer
Discarding the timer
Setting times as billable or non-billable
Standard project
If you start the timer via the extension, the time is automatically booked to a selected project or task. If no project is selected, the default project that you have previously defined will be used.
To set the default project, click on "Open settings" in the top right-hand corner of the awork extension. Here you can select a project from your workspace. If you start the timer via the extension and no project is selected, the time is automatically recorded on the defined default project.
Timer integration
With the direct timer integration, you can display the classic awork timer in tools such as Github, Pipedrive, MOCO and helloHQ. Here you can stop, pause or discard the timer.
To display the timer in these tools, open "Settings" in the top right corner of the browser extension. Here you can see all the tools for which you can activate this timer integration. As soon as you select a tool with a checkmark, the integration is activated and you can use the awork timer on the corresponding page of the tool.
Open dashboard
Using the browser extension, you can navigate directly to your connected workspace via the "Open awork" button in the top right-hand corner.
