UpWork offers two different ways to track time – the UpWork Desktop App and the UpWork Tracker. The UpWork Tracker is a browser extension that can be used with Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, or Microsoft Edge. The UpWork Desktop App is a stand-alone application that can be used on Windows or Mac.
If you’re not sure which one to use, we recommend the UpWork Desktop App. It’s more reliable and provides a better user experience.
To use the UpWork Desktop App, first download it from the link at the bottom of this article. Once it’s installed, open the app and sign in with your UpWork account. Then, click the “Track time” button in the top-right corner of the app.
A new window will open where you can start tracking your time. First, select the client you want to track time for.
Then, select the project you’re working on. Finally, click the “Start Tracking” button.
Once you’ve started tracking your time, you can minimize the window and continue working. The app will continue running in the background and tracking your time. To stop tracking your time, click the “Stop Tracking” button in the app window.
The UpWork Tracker is a great way to track your time if you’re already using Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, or Microsoft Edge. To install the tracker, visit the link at the bottom of this article and click “Add to Chrome”, “Add to Firefox”, or “Add to Edge”.
Once it’s installed, open the tracker by clicking on its icon in your browser’s toolbar. Then, sign in with your UpWork account. After that, you can start tracking your time by clicking on the “Track time” button in the tracker window.
Like with the UpWork Desktop App, you can select the client and project you’re working on before starting to track your time. Once you’ve started tracking your time, you can minimize the tracker window and continue working.
