The Mac app window

Find your way around the Qufy window on Mac: the sidebar, the quick timer, your name menu, the bell, and the Timer, Projects, Hours and Stats pages.

Steps

  1. 1

    Open the window: click the Q in the menu bar and press "Open Qufy", or open Qufy from Applications.

  2. 2

    Use the sidebar to move between "Timer", "Projects", "Hours" and "Stats".

    The Qufy window on the Timer page, with the sidebar on the left, the large clock in the middle, and the project, Today, Week and Month beside it.
  3. 3

    On any page except Timer, use the quick timer at the bottom of the sidebar: pick a project and press "Start timer".

  4. 4

    Press the button with your name at the bottom of the sidebar to see your email, "Settings", "Language" (EN / AR), "About" and "Sign out".

    The name menu open at the bottom of the sidebar, listing the email, Settings, Language, About and Sign out.
  5. 5

    Press the bell to see "Notifications" from your clients. Each item opens on the website; "Mark all read" clears the count.

  6. 6

    Press "Refresh" (or ⌘R) on the Timer page to load the latest data from your account.

Good to know

  • Timer page: the large clock (00:00:00) and, while it runs, the money earned at the project's rate, with the note field above it. Beside the clock: the project menu, then what is still to invoice (press it to open Stats), the hourly rate, or "Choose a project", then the project's Today, Week and Month totals. Under the clock: "Start · {project}", or "Pause" and "Stop" while it runs, and "Updated just now".
  • Projects page: each project keeps its own rate. Search, choose "Today", "Week" or "Month", or press "New project" to open a panel with "Project name", "Client", "Hourly rate" and "Currency" (EGP, SAR, AED or USD), then press "Create project".
  • Each project row shows the client, the rate, the hours in the chosen period, and what is still "to invoice". It has one button, the next step: "Invoice hours" when there are unbilled hours, "Set a rate" when there is no rate, or "Start timer". The ⋯ menu holds "Start timer", "Invoice hours", "New quote" and "Edit".
  • "Invoice hours" and "New quote" open the website with an invoice or a quote filled from the project's hours in the chosen period. Nothing is saved until you save or send it there. Stopping the timer never creates an invoice by itself.
  • Hours and Stats have their own articles: see "Hours in the Mac app: add, edit, and delete sessions" and "Stats in the Mac app: your week at a glance".
  • The bell shows: "Quote accepted", "Quote declined", "Contract signed", "Note from the client", "Reminder", and "Update". It checks for new items every 30 seconds.
  • The window also refreshes by itself when you bring it to the front, when your Mac wakes, when the internet comes back, and every minute while it is visible.
  • Escape closes open menus, panels and forms.
  • Closing the window does not quit Qufy. The app keeps running in the menu bar, and a running timer keeps going. To quit, right-click the Q and choose "Quit Qufy".
