TMetric for Firefox

Many services offer online time tracking, alongside many other cool features and unexpected extras. Why would you choose the TMetric service and its dedicated browser enhancer, the TMetric Firefox extension?

First of all, there is the in-depth, native integration that TMetric establishes with major players in the market, services like Bitbucket, Atlassian service (e.g. like JIRA), GitHub, Google Services, and more.

Secondly, regarding the add-on, it manages to add a quick command to your browser, useful for tracking your activity on the websites of TMetric's partners.

One of the main issues with this Firefox extension is that it does not explicitly tells you what to do to get started with using the service. First of all, sign up for an account with TMetric, on their main website; unless you do that, the browser extension won't do anything, as it can't connect to the TMetric server.

After registering on the main website, all the functionality in TMetric for Firefox will be enabled. You can click the 'Connect to Server' command and easily connect to your main account. Also, in the add-on settings window, you can search for the supported services.

Find the services you are using and enable the tracking for them. After doing so, while navigating on those given web addresses, you will be prompted with the option to start the activity tracker. Moreover, you can use the custom URL addition, the last option in TMetric's app list. There, you can insert the address of the website where you want to track your activity.

All things considered, although a bit unintuitive at first, the TMetric add-on and overall service are quite nice and extremely useful. Plus, they offer the entire package of instruments for creating either flexible schedules or rigorously organized workflows.
