How to get started with Apploye Time Tracker as a Member

If you are an employee of an existing organization, please follow these steps.

  1. Firstly, open your email and click on the "Accept Invitation" button.
💡
If you are asked to join via Organization code, please follow this guideline on how to join an organization with code.

👉 Then, sign up with your name and password.

2.  Download the app from the download page & Install the app.

💡
If you are using a MacBook, please remember to give the necessary permissions for MacOS.

3. Now, open the app and log in using your credentials. Then, select the organization.

4. Now, select a project and click the "Start button" to track your time. You can select a task as well, but that's optional.

💡
Please ensure that your employer assigns projects to you. Without an assigned project, no projects will appear in the project dropdown.
💡
You can create tasks from the desktop app by clicking on "+ Create a new task". 
💡
If a task has been finished, you can complete it from either the desktop app or the web app.

5. Check out the settings options. You can turn on Dark Mode from here or change other settings. We recommend keeping the "Launch at startup" option on, so that you can start tracking with only 1 click.

💡
You can add notes to let your admin/supervisor know about something. It is available only when you are tracking time.

6. You can turn on the Pomodoro Break feature. By default, you'll be notified after 25 minutes for a 5-minute break. Keep in mind that, during this break, your time won't be tracked. You can change the time of the break as you would like.

7. After tracking time for a few minutes, you can check out the timesheet and screenshots from the web app.

💡
As a regular employee/member, you can only check your timesheet and screenshots. If you need to check more, please ask the owner to make you Admin/Project manager.

Continue tracking time with the Apploye desktop app now!
