Time tracking and the timer
Log time on an issue, or run a timer that follows you.
Suru Me logs time as YouTrack work items, so it counts in YouTrack's own reports too.
Logging time on an issueLink to this section
Open the issue and find the Time section. Type how long you spent into the box ("Log time, like 1h 30m") and press Log. It understands 45m, 90m, 2h, 1.5h, 1h 30m and 1h30m, and a plain number counts as minutes. Anything else gets a line saying what it takes.
The section shows the total logged and the latest five entries. If time tracking is off for the project, logging switches it on.
The timerLink to this section
Start timer in the Time section starts a timer on that issue. While it runs, a chip in the header shows the issue and the time so far, on every page. Click the issue in the chip to open it, or stop it with the square button. In the issue's Time section the button reads Stop and log while it runs.
- Stopping logs the time on the issue, rounded up to whole minutes (at least one).
- Starting a timer on another issue logs the first one before starting the new one.
- The timer is synced. Start it on your phone and stop it at your desk.
Team totalsLink to this section
The project and area dashboards have a Time logged panel: the team's time per week for the last eight weeks, with this week, last week and the total. It shows team totals only, never per person, and it's hidden while nothing has been logged.
For assistantsLink to this section
An AI assistant connected through MCP can log time and read time reports too.
