About the Project
TimeTracker was built for an architect client who ran a small team and needed a single place to manage projects, log time against them, and be able to track progress and costs effectively. The core insight was that most time tracking tools are either too simple (just a timer) or too complex (full project management suites). TimeTracker sits in the middle: structured enough to track costs and tasks per project, simple enough that logging time is a single click.
The live timer can be started with a single click. If a user starts a timer without a project assigned, they just started work and haven't decided what to log it to yet — the session is preserved and can be assigned retroactively when they stop.
Key Features

- Task tracking per project with cost estimates and status (To Do / In Progress / Done)
- Multi-user collaboration: invite team members as Member or Viewer with role-based access
- An Analytics dashboard allows you to quickly view time by project, with pie and bar charts, week / month / custom periods
- JWT authentication with secure bcrypt password hashing
- OWASP-hardened API layer including enum validation, input length limits and parameterised queries throughout
