FAQ
What is the best time tracker for software developers?
TickTappy is great for developers who want minimal, distraction-free time tracking. One tap to start a focus session, one tap to stop. No integrations to set up, no browser extensions. For developers who need Jira or GitHub integration, Toggl Track may be better.
Can developers track deep work sessions with TickTappy?
Yes. Create tags like 'Deep Work', 'Code Review', or 'Meetings', tap to start, and see daily/weekly breakdowns of how you spent your time. Live Activities shows your running timer on your lock screen.
Does TickTappy integrate with developer tools?
TickTappy is intentionally integration-free to keep things simple. It's designed for developers who want to manually track focus time without the overhead of connecting to project management tools.
