为什么信任本指南

I have run Memtime on my main work computer for eight months.

Every step here comes from real use, not a vendor deck.

Screenshots use the standard light theme asset, memtime light 2x.png.png, for consistency.

Memtime is a time tracking app for people who forget to press start.

Most users only ever look at the timeline.

本指南将向您展示如何使用所有主要功能。

一步一步教你，附带截图和专业技巧。

Memtime教程

This How to Use Memtime tutorial walks through setup, then each feature, then the tips that make the difference.

Memtime 入门指南

Setup is a one-time job and takes about three minutes.

Here is what my own first week with the app looked like:

现在让我们一步一步来。

第一步：创建您的帐户

Go to the Memtime website and click sign up.

请输入您的电子邮件地址并创建密码。

You can start a free 14-day trial without paying anything.

✓ 检查点： 检查你的 收件箱 用于确认邮件。

Step 2: Install the Desktop App

Memtime is a desktop app, so download the build for your computer.

On macOS you must grant Accessibility and 自动化 permissions.

Without those, the app cannot see which window is active.

Here’s what the dashboard gives you:

✓ 检查点： The timeline starts filling within a minute of work.

步骤三：设置您的偏好

Set your daily working hours and your preferred time increment.

Connect your project management tool now if your team uses one.

If you do not, you can create custom Memtime projects instead.

How to Use Memtime Timeline Tracker

自动时间线 lets you build a running record of your day without a start or stop timer.

以下是使用步骤。

Step 1: Start the App and Work Normally

Open Memtime and leave it running in the background.

It records your time in every program, email, document, file, and tab.

You do not press start, and you do not press stop.

Step 2: Open the Timeline View

Click the day you want to review in the left panel.

Memtime groups your captured activities so related work sits together.

这就是它的样子：

✓ 检查点： Your timeline fills with colour-coded activity blocks.

Step 3: Read the Details

Hover any bar to see the file name, tab, or app behind it.

This is how you remember what you worked on hours later.

如何使用 Memtime 时间增量

时间增量 lets you round raw activity into clean blocks that clients accept.

以下是使用步骤。

Step 1: Open Preferences

Go to settings and find the time increment control.

Choose 5, 10, 15, or 30 minutes.

Step 2: Set Your Working Hours

Enter the hours you normally work each day.

Memtime uses this to flag gaps and unlogged time.

这就是它的样子：

✓ 检查点： Your day splits into even blocks instead of odd fragments.

Step 3: Check the Daily Total

Compare the tracked total against your daily goal.

Turn on reminders if you tend to forget to log time.

如何使用 Memtime 集成

集成 lets you pull projects and tasks in from the tools your team already runs.

以下是使用步骤。

步骤 1：打开集成面板

Find integrations in settings during or after setup.

Memtime lists every supported project management tool.

Step 2: Select Connected Apps

Select connected apps and authorise each one.

Memtime will import your project list within a few seconds.

这就是它的样子：

✓ 检查点： Live project names appear in the assignment dropdown.

Step 3: Turn On Automatic Sync

Switch on automatic sync for all projects and tasks.

Add your Google or Outlook calendar so meetings sit beside computer activity.

如何使用 Memtime 项目时间条目

项目工时记录 lets you turn raw activity into time entries you can bill.

以下是使用步骤。

Step 1: Choose a Day

Pick the day you want to log time for.

Work backwards from the most recent one.

Step 2: Select Multiple Activities

Drag across the timeline to select multiple activities at once.

Grouping multiple activities beats logging each one alone.

这就是它的样子：

✓ 检查点： The block turns solid and shows your project name.

Step 3: Assign and Describe

Choose a project and tag, then add a comment.

On a marketing retainer, name the deliverable rather than the file.

Write what a client would want to read.

How to Use Memtime Automated Timesheet Reporter

自动工时表报告 lets you assemble a finished timesheet without retyping a single row.

以下是使用步骤。

第一步：打开报告

Click reports in the main navigation.

Memtime pulls from entries you already assigned.

Step 2: Set the Date Range

Set the range to the current week or last month.

Filter by person, project, or tag as needed.

这就是它的样子：

✓ 检查点： Totals per project match what your timeline showed.

Step 3: Export

Export to CSV, PDF, or Excel.

Send the PDF to clients and keep the CSV for your own records.

How to Use Memtime Privacy-First Tracker

隐私优先的跟踪 lets you keep every scrap of activity data on your own machine.

以下是使用步骤。

Step 1: Grant Permissions

On macOS, grant Accessibility and Automation permissions.

Memtime cannot read window titles without them.

Step 2: Set What Gets Tracked

Open preferences and set which apps to track or ignore.

Exclude personal banking or health apps here.

这就是它的样子：

✓ 检查点： Excluded apps stop appearing in your timeline.

Step 3: Confirm Local Storage

All data in Memtime is stored on your device and visible only to you.

Nothing uploads until you assign it and sync it.

How to Use Memtime Offline Tracker

离线追踪 lets you keep recording when the connection drops.

以下是使用步骤。

Step 1: Work Without a Connection

Memtime tracks activities on your device in real time.

Because records live locally, no connection is required.

Step 2: Reconnect

Go back online when you land or the router recovers.

Open the app and let it settle for a moment.

✓ 检查点： Offline hours appear in the timeline with no gaps.

Step 3: Push Your Entries

Sync the entries you created to your connected tools.

Confirm the totals before you close the app.

如何使用 Memtime 自定义报表

可自定义报告 lets you shape the report around what the person reading it cares about.

以下是使用步骤。

Step 1: Pick Your Columns

Choose which details appear, such as project, tag, or comment.

Drop anything the reader does not need.

Step 2: Filter and Group

Group by project for clients and by person for internal review.

这就是它的样子：

✓ 检查点： Your saved layout appears in the reports dropdown.

Step 3: Save the Layout

Save the layout so next month is one click.

Name it after the client to avoid mix-ups.

How to Use Memtime Focus Mode

Focus Mode lets you protect a block of deep work from the usual interruptions.

以下是使用步骤。

Step 1: Choose Your Block

Pick one task and decide how long you will stay on it.

Ninety minutes suits most demanding work.

Step 2: Start the Session

Start the block and close everything unrelated.

Memtime keeps recording quietly in the background.

✓ 检查点： Your timeline shows one long bar instead of scattered fragments.

Step 3: Review Afterwards

Check the timeline when the block ends.

The number of app switches tells you how focused you really were.
