Response: Understanding the Upwork Time Tracker

Hello!

Great to hear that you’re starting your journey as a freelancer on Upwork. The time tracker is a key tool that records the time spent on a particular project, aiding in precise billing and project management.

Upwork Time Tracker and Screenshots

The Upwork Time Tracker tool automatically takes a screenshot at random ten-minute intervals – that’s six times within an hour. This is done to ensure transparency between you and your client, showcasing the work done within those intervals.

Features:

• The tool tracks keystrokes and mouse clicks
• Automatically takes screenshots
• Allows freelancers to manually add time if needed

Please note: it’s essential to keep all work within the bounds of the specific job you’re hired for, as the client can review the screenshots.

Also important: The tracker doesn’t record any sensitive information like passwords typed or any other secure information.

Hopefully, this helps you better understand the in-built time tracker feature on Upwork.
Happy freelancing!
