How to Use This Timer

Everything you need to know to track your data annotation earnings.

Why Use This App?

If you work as a freelancer or contractor on data annotation platforms, tracking your time and pay accurately can be difficult. Many platforms show only task counts or vague summaries, making it hard to know your true hourly rate or total earnings.

This timer solves that. It gives you a real-time view of how much you are earning as you work, tracks your session history over time, and helps you set and monitor financial goals — all without sending your data to any server. Everything stays private and local on your device.

1. Set Your Hourly Rate

Enter the hourly rate you are being paid in the Hourly Rate field on the Timer page. Your live earnings will be calculated from this rate as the timer runs.

2. Start the Timer

Press Start to begin tracking time. Your elapsed time and live earnings update every second. Use Pause to take a break — your time is preserved. Press Start again to resume.

3. Add Task Bonuses

If you earn per-task bonuses on top of your hourly rate, set the Bonus Per Task amount and click Task Bonus each time you complete a bonus-eligible task. Bonuses are added to your session total.

4. Finish a Session

When you are done working, press Finish Session. This logs the session (duration, earnings, rate, and date) to your history so you can review it later.

5. Use Save Codes

Open the Save / Load panel to create or enter a save code. Save codes let you organize sessions by project or client. Your data is saved in your browser's local storage — nothing is sent online.

6. View Your History

Go to the View History tab and enter your save code to load past sessions. Filter by day, week, month, or year. See totals, averages, and a chart of your earnings over time.

Additional Features

Set a target amount and deadline on the History page. The app calculates how much you still need to earn and estimates the hours required based on your average rate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my data safe?

Yes. All data is stored locally in your browser using LocalStorage. Nothing is sent to a server or shared with anyone. If you clear your browser data, your sessions will be removed.

Can I use this on my phone?

Yes. The app is fully responsive and works on mobile browsers. You can even add it to your home screen for quick access.

What if I accidentally close the page?

If you close the page mid-session, unsaved time will be lost. Make sure to finish and save your session before closing. Completed sessions stored under a save code will persist across visits.

Does this work offline?

Once the page is loaded, the timer and all features work without an internet connection. You only need connectivity to initially load the site.
