Time Tracking
Time in inundated is recorded as time entries on the Timesheet, and organized using tags and projects.
Time entries
A time entry (internally a "timespan") is a manual record with:
- a name,
- a start and end time, and
- zero or more tags.
The Timesheet view lists entries newest-first, grouped by day, and lets you add a new one from a form at the top — pick tags, set a name and time range, and submit. There's no running/live timer: entries are logged with an explicit start and end (typically added right after finishing a stretch of work, or backfilled).
Tags
Tags are the actual unit time gets attributed to. Each tag has a name and a color, and accumulates a total duration from every time entry that carries it. A single time entry can carry multiple tags, so time can count toward more than one thing at once (e.g. a client tag and a work-type tag).
Projects
A project is a named, colored grouping of tags, with an optional time budget. A project's total time is the sum of the duration of every time entry carrying any of its tags — a project doesn't own time entries directly, it's a lens over the tags assigned to it. This lets you reorganize which tags roll up into which project without touching any historical time entries.
Every project also owns a project tag, named after the project and
drawn as an outlined pill starting with @. A time entry or task carrying
it counts toward the project directly, with no shared tag needed:
- Type
@in a tag field to see only projects. - Type
@and a new name, then press Enter, to create a project on the spot, colored from its name.
A project tag takes its project's name, color and archived state, and goes away with the project. Project tags aren't listed on the Tags page, and a project can't carry another project's tag.
Projects and tags can each be archived independently, which hides them from pickers without deleting their history.
Time logged on a task also counts toward the task's tags and projects.
Display settings
Per-scope settings (under Settings in the app) control how times and dates are rendered — they don't affect what's stored:
| Setting | Options |
|---|---|
| Week start day | Monday, Sunday |
| Timezone | Any IANA zone, or "browser" (use the client's local zone) |
| Duration format | Long (1h 30m), decimal (1.5h), clock (1:30) |
| Time format | 12h, 24h |
| Date format | ISO, US, EU, or text |
All times are stored and computed in UTC on the backend; these settings only change presentation.
