Frequently Asked Questions
What does TimeRetain cost?
Nothing. TimeRetain is still in beta, so you get to access
all features for free during this period.
Is TimeRetain really private?
Yes. TimeRetain stores
time data locally on your device. No time
data is sent to any server—ever. No person sees, stores, or
accesses your time entries in any way. Check the
privacy policy.
Do I need to create an account to use TimeRetain?
No. No account, no sign-up, no email. Just open timeretain.com
and start tracking. It’s truly anonymous time tracking.
Is there anything to install?
Nope. TimeRetain runs entirely in your browser, with nothing
to download or install. Works on desktop and mobile.
What happens to my time data if I clear my browser cache?
Because your data is stored locally, clearing browser cache
will
remove your entries. Export your data
regularly for backup and portability. TimeRetain will remind
you of this.
Can I export my time tracking data?
Yes. TimeRetain can export to PDF or CSV or
to its own format for back up purposes.
Can I sync between my phone and desktop?
Soon! Sign up for the newsletter at the bottom of the menu to
hear first when sync support launches.
Can I add notes or descriptions to my time entries?
Yes! Each time entry allows you to add
optional notes or descriptions. This helps
you remember the specifics of what you worked on during that
time block, making your records more detailed and useful.
Can I edit or delete past time entries?
Absolutely. You have full control over your data. You can
easily
modify the start time, end time, duration, or notes
of any previous entry. You can also
delete entries entirely if needed.
Which web browsers does TimeRetain support?
TimeRetain is designed to work on the
latest versions of modern web browsers like
Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, and Microsoft
Edge, on both desktop and mobile operating systems.
Performance may vary on older browsers.
TimeRetain's Story
How you spend your time says a lot about you—your work habits,
your customer relationships, your priorities. It’s a reflection
of what matters most to you.
But here’s the catch: time tracking tools store this deeply
personal data in the cloud. And let’s be honest, the cloud isn’t
always the safest place for your data.
Just look at the news: even the biggest, most trusted companies
have fallen victim to data breaches. And lately, there have been
unsettling stories of companies using customer data for AI
training without asking permission.
I believe there’s a smarter, safer way to handle your time
tracking data. Do you really need to rely on the cloud to track
your time?
That’s why I created TimeRetain: a time tracker that lives
entirely in your browser. It has everything you’d want in a time
tracking tool—plus a few extras—and it keeps your time data
where it belongs: with you.
It’s as simple as that: time data stays on your device and
completely under your control.
