How to Use Upwork Desktop Time Tracking App?

The Upwork Time Tracker is a very intuitive and handy tool for freelancers to keep track of their work hours. It not only makes it easier for you to log your working hours but also lends a certain level of transparency to your clients, assuring them about the number of hours you have actually put into their project.

Steps to Use Upwork Desktop Time Tracking App

Step 1: Download and Install the App

• Go to your Upwork profile
• Click on Resources and select Upwork Desktop App
• Follow the guided instructions to download and install

Step 2: Log In

• Open the app and log in with your Upwork credentials

Step 3: Select a Contract

• Click on the contract related to the task you’re about to begin

Step 4: Start working and Tracking

• Before you begin working, write a memo describing the task you’re about to start. This memo will be visible to your client
• Click on the Start button when you’re ready to work. The app will take screenshots at random six times per hour as proof of work

Step 5: Stop tracking when done

• Once you’re done working, click the Stop button

Note:

• If you’re not okay with any screenshot taken, you can delete it, but it will also delete the 10 minute segment associated with that screenshot.
