Time tracking with TimeCamp

Please note that the TimeCamp integration is not officially supported by Nepenthes and consequently is not actively maintained.

TimeCamp allows you to track your time spent on Nepenthes work packages with a start/stop button. The times will then be recorded in your TimeCamp account.

Installation

You can install a browser add-in to track time via TimeCamp in Nepenthes. This way, you can record time spent directly in a work package in Nepenthes via a start/stop button. You need to register an account in TimeCamp in order to use this feature.

This integration can be added for Google Chrome as TimeCamp extension.

Configuration

1. Download the TimeCamp Google Chrome plugin.

   

2. Add the extension.

   

3. Pin TimeCamp to your browser.
