Move or switch the timer to another project

Picked the wrong project? In the first 5 minutes you can move the session. After that, choosing a project ends it and starts a new one.

Steps

  1. 1

    While the timer runs, press the arrow next to it in the top bar.

  2. 2

    Choose the project you want under “Projects”. The running one has a tick.

  3. 3

    If the session has less than 5 minutes of work, Qufy asks “Move this session to {project}?”. Press “Move” to move it, or “Cancel” to leave it as it is.

    The timer menu with the question Move this session to a project, and the Cancel and Move buttons.
  4. 4

    If the session has 5 minutes of work or more, Qufy switches at once, with no question.

Good to know

  • Move: the same session goes on. It keeps its start time and its note; only the project changes, and the whole session uses the new project's hourly rate.
  • Switch: the current session ends now and is saved, with its note, on the old project. A new session starts now on the new project, at its rate, with an empty note.
  • The 5 minutes count work only; paused time is left out.
  • If the switch fails, the old timer keeps running.
  • Only projects with an hourly rate appear in the list. The Mac app uses the same 5-minute rule.
  • A session that has already ended cannot change project. Delete it on the Time page and add the time again on the right project.

If something goes wrong

“Set an hourly rate before starting.”
The project you chose has no hourly rate now. Add a rate on the project page and try again.
“That time overlaps another session.”
A saved session already covers the current time. Open Time, check the latest sessions, and edit or delete the one that overlaps.
