Logging time you forgot
Add a manual entry for work you already did.
You don't have to start a timer to track something. If you've already done the work, log a manual entry; it takes a few seconds.
Log it
Click Log time from the sidebar (or press L). Pick the project, the duration, and a short description. Optionally set the date and start time so the entry lands on the right day.
How to type a duration
The duration field accepts what you'd naturally type:
| You type | Hourdini reads |
|---|---|
90m | 1h 30m |
1.5h | 1h 30m |
1h30m | 1h 30m |
45 | 45m (if it's small enough to be minutes, otherwise hours) |
If the field is ambiguous, the parsed result is shown right under the input before you confirm.
Backdating
Manual entries can be backdated to any day. If the project's rate has changed since the date you're backdating to, Hourdini still uses the current rate for the entry. Past rate history isn't tracked. If that matters for the entry you're logging, set the rate explicitly on the entry after creating it.
When you can't log against a project
If a project is archived, you can still log a manual entry against it. If the entry covers time that's already been invoiced, you'll be asked to confirm; duplicate logging is easy to do by accident.
