This app can track your work time easily! You can automate time tracking using geo-fencing functions (see below). You may also categorize each recorded interval by a predefined client/task and a free text. Of course, the list of clients/tasks can be edited to suit your needs, and the app has a widget for your home screen.
Additionally, if you wish, your flexible time account is taken care of: you always see how much you worked. You can also keep an eye on how much work time is left for today or for the current week (by a notification which you can enable).
The app enables you to modify the planned working time effortlessly - just tap on the date you want to edit in the main table.
You may provide the geo-coordinates or the Wi-Fi network name of your work place and the app can automatically clock you in while you are at work. This is done without using GPS, so your battery won't be emptied by this app. (You don't have to be connected to the WiFi network at work, it just has to be visible.)
You don't want to open the app for clocking in and out? No problem - there are at least three ways to do that: add the widget to your home screen, use launcher shortcuts (long press the app icon for that) or add a new quick settings tile to your panel by tapping on the pencil below and dragging the "Track Work Time" tile up which then can toggle your clocked-in state.
If you prefer to use other apps like LlamaLab Automate or Tasker for tracking your movements, that's fine - TWT can be triggered from other apps and just do the book-keeping of your work time. In this case, you have to create broadcast intents with the action org.zephyrsoft.trackworktime.ClockIn or org.zephyrsoft.trackworktime.ClockOut. When using ClockIn, you can also set the parameters task=... and text=... in the "extra" section of the intent so your events are more meaningful. Here are some screenshots to point out how it can be done in Automate: Flow overview, "Broadcast send" block arguments. You can also use the action org.zephyrsoft.trackworktime.StatusRequest to get the current state of TWT: is the user clocked in, and if so, with which task and how much time remains for today? Here's how you can use this in Automate: Flow overview, "Send broadcast" settings top, "Send broadcast" settings bottom, "Receive broadcast" settings top, "Receive broadcast" settings bottom, "Dialog message" settings, resulting message.
It's also possible the other way around: TWT generates broadcast intents on event creation/update/deletion.
Automation apps can listen for the actions org.zephyrsoft.trackworktime.event.Created,
org.zephyrsoft.trackworktime.event.Updated and org.zephyrsoft.trackworktime.event.Deleted.
There are the following extras available: id (number uniquely identifying an event),
date (the event's date, formatted YYYY-MM-DD), time (the event's time, formatted HH:MM:SS),
timezone_offset (offset in standard format, e.g. +02:00),
timezone_offset_minutes (offset in minutes, e.g. 120),
type_id (number uniquely identifying the event's type, 0=clock-out / 1=clock-in),
type (name of the event's type, CLOCK_IN or CLOCK_OUT),
task_id (number uniquely identifying the event's task, not available on clock-out events),
task (name of the event's task, not available on clock-out events),
comment (only available if the user provided it),
source (where the event was generated originally, possible values are
MAIN_SCREEN_BUTTON, EVENT_LIST, QUICK_SETTINGS, LAUNCHER_SHORTCUT, MULTI_INSERT, AUTO_PAUSE,
LOCATION, WIFI, RECEIVED_INTENT [includes both externally created broadcasts and actions from TWT's own widget and notification]).

If you have a Pebble smart watch, the app can notify you on clock-in and clock-out events which is especially useful if you want to be in the know about automatic time tracking via location and/or WiFi.
For other smart watches you can enable some options regarding notifications to help you. Firstly, you can enable the notification generally. Without any other related option, this will only display a notification on your phone in case you're clocked in. To also display this notification on your phone when not clocked in, select to always show it. Now, if you want it also on your watch, you also have to switch notifications to non-persistent (otherwise Android won't synchronize them). This is kind of a compromise because with this option notifications won't be pinned at the top of the list and also can be closed unintentionally (but will be displayed again after a minute). In addition you can silence all notifications so you are not distracted by them (this will be applied on your watch as well as on your phone, Android doesn't differentiate here).
Finally, the app can generate reports for you. The raw events report is the right thing if you want to import your data somewhere else, while year/month/week reports are fine if you want to keep track of your task progress.
Important note: This app definitely won't use your personal data for anything you don't want! If the app crashes, it will offer you to send some information about the crash circumstances to the developer (and does that only if you agree, you will be asked every time). The app does NOT include tracked times or places in the bug report, but the general log file is appended and might potentially include personal data - if so, it will be kept strictly confidential and only used to identify the problem.
You can track the past development by looking at the version history.
This is an open source project, so if there's something you don't like, you are very welcome to file an issue or even fix things yourself and create a pull request. Please don't try to communicate with me via reviews, that doesn't work in both directions. You can always write me an email and I'll see what I can do.
