Favorite free Time Tracking apps (for material participation) and how to log texts?

[Jon Martin]

What app do you like to use for tracking your time? I started using "Atto" a few days ago for 2023 material participation logging and I like that it has a big red/green start/stop button. What I don't like is that they don't make it easy to add any notes or codes for what you were doing and have the add up by category. I am also making a point of batching all of my misc admin duties with the tracker running. 

Any others I should look into? Also, if i reply to a series of text messages (with my cleaner, for example) can I log those as 1 minute each to read/reply? Or should I make a point of logging in/out every time I do something with text messages? 

FYI I am planning to talk with my CPA about this but I want to let him finish my return for 2022 first before I ask/pay him for his time. Thanks in advance.

Hey @Jon Martin, you could try Clockify. Free and many real estate professionals use it.

I have never used it so I can't comment, but worth a try.
