Workflow comparison
Manual timesheets ask you to remember a fragmented day after the context has gone. Switch-based capture records each workstream transition when it happens, while still allowing later correction.
A manual timesheet is simple, but accuracy depends on memory, calendar reconstruction, and rounding. Those weaknesses become more visible as the number of workstream changes increases.
TimeSwitch treats selecting another customer as the boundary: the old session ends and the new one starts at the same timestamp. The action is small enough to perform while the context is changing.
A stopwatch does not know whether every minute should be billed. TimeSwitch therefore keeps descriptions optional and supports edits, deletion, and manual entries before reporting.
This combines timestamp evidence with professional review instead of silently converting all detected activity into an invoice.
Not every task begins with a timer. Travel adjustments, retrospective corrections, fixed-fee allocations, and agreed caps can still require judgment.
TimeSwitch preserves a manual-session path for these cases while making live workstream switching the default for work that can be observed as it happens.
