🚀 Boost Your Productivity with TimeTracker X: A Time Tracking Plugin for JetBrains IDEs

As developers, we often dive deep into code, losing track of time — especially when switching between tasks, projects, or bug trackers. What if your IDE could help you manage your time without breaking your workflow?

Meet TimeTracker X – a powerful and intuitive time-tracking plugin built specifically for JetBrains IDEs (IntelliJ IDEA, PhpStorm, WebStorm, and others).

🧠 Why TimeTracker X?

Unlike generic timers or browser-based tools, TimeTracker X lives inside your IDE. This means you can start, stop, or switch timers without context-switching or losing your focus.

⚙️ Core Features

• Track time directly in your IDE – Start/stop timers per task with just a click.

• Organize tasks by project – Tasks are grouped by IDE projects with an easy-to-use dropdown.

• Generate daily reports – Get a clean standup report with time spent, task names, comments, and totals.

• Visual clarity – “Time today”, “Yesterday”, and “Total” columns help you understand your time flow.

• Task comments – Add short notes to describe what you worked on.

🔌 Integrations

TimeTracker X connects with all your favorite tools:

✅ Redmine
✅ Jira
✅ YouTrack
✅ ClickUp
✅ Clockify
✅ Toggl
✅ Harvest
✅ Paymo
✅ Teamwork
✅ Asana

Whether you're in a corporate environment or freelancing, TimeTracker X adapts to your workflow.

💡 Highlights from the Docs

Here are some handy features worth checking out from the documentation:

• 📊 Grouped task view: See tasks by project, including those from other projects you’ve worked on today.

• 🔄 Automatic time carryover: At day’s end, “Today’s” time becomes “Yesterday’s” – no manual reset needed.

• 🎯 Recent project picker: The dropdown smartly shows recent projects first, followed by the rest – so you don’t get lost scrolling.

📦 Who is this for?

• 👩‍💻 Developers tired of manual timesheets

• 📈 Freelancers needing reports for clients

• 🧑‍💼 Teams using issue trackers like Jira, YouTrack, or Clockify

• 🔍 Anyone who wants better time awareness during coding sessions
