Timer reminders: no forgotten timer, no gap in the month
#time-tracking#timer#reminders#settings#team

A forgotten timer means booking time after the fact — or not at all. With timer reminders, an admin can turn on a per-user reminder that fires on working days whenever no timer is running. And the time overview now shows every day this month that still has no booked time.


Enabling reminders per team member

Go to Settings → Time Tracking. Above the existing settings you'll now find a Timer reminders section with a list of all team members. Each person has a toggle — use it to decide who gets reminded.

The section only appears when time tracking is enabled for the organization and you have the permission to manage all time tracking. Customers don't show up in the list and are never reminded.

Choosing the weekdays

Once the reminder is on for a person, a weekday picker (Mon–Sun) appears next to the toggle. Monday to Friday are selected by default. Click a day to turn it on or off — reminders only fire on those days. At least one day must stay selected.


What the team member sees

When the reminder is on and it's one of the configured working days, the reminder kicks in as soon as no timer is running:

  • Hint toast — "No timer running" with a direct link to time tracking. It shows on login and, while work continues without a timer, comes back at a calm interval — not on every click.
  • Red exclamation badge on the time-tracking widget in the sidebar — visible even when the sidebar is collapsed.
  • Warning line in the widget — "No timer running", shown persistently as a standing hint on a working day.

The moment a timer starts, the toast, badge, and warning line all disappear. This is only about not forgetting to start — not about interrupting work in progress.

Escalation for a missing booking

If the previous working day wasn't booked at all, the hint turns into a warning: "Last working day's time is missing", asking the user to book it by today at the latest. That way no gap goes unnoticed until the end of the month.


Missing-days view on the time page

On the time overview under Time, a card appears at the top whenever the current month has a working day without any booked time. The card lists exactly those days — so you can spot gaps before the month is finalized and book them by the next day at the latest.

The card only shows when the reminder is on for you and there are actually open days. If every working day is booked, the time page stays unchanged.


In short

  • Admins enable reminders per team member under Settings → Time Tracking and choose the weekdays (default: Mon–Fri).
  • Team members are reminded on working days without a running timer via toast, badge, and warning line — and more firmly when the previous day is still missing.
  • Missing days for the current month appear as a card on the time page, so no booking slips through.
  • Customers are not affected.

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers to the most common questions about this topic.

How do I enable timer reminders for a team member?
Go to Settings → Time Tracking. In the Timer reminders section you'll see all team members with a toggle. Turn the reminder on per person — this requires the permission to manage all time tracking.
Which days does Spedy remind on?
Monday to Friday by default. Once the reminder is on for someone, you can adjust the weekdays with the Mon–Sun picker next to it. At least one day must stay selected.
When does a team member see the reminder?
On a configured working day, when no timer is currently running. They then get a hint toast, a red exclamation badge on the time-tracking widget in the sidebar, and a warning line in the widget. As soon as a timer runs, all hints disappear.
What happens if the last working day wasn't booked?
The reminder escalates: the hint becomes the warning "Last working day's time is missing" and asks the user to book it by today at the latest.
Where do I see days without a booking?
On the time overview under Time. If the reminder is on and the current month has working days without a booking, a card at the top lists exactly those days — so you can close gaps before the month is finalized.
Do customers get these reminders too?
No. Timer reminders apply only to internal team members (Admins and team members), never to customers.
