Set up your favorite time entries and quickly start them with one click on the Timer page on the webapp. Favorites aren't isn't available on the Toggl Free plan, they require a Starter or Premium subscription.

Creating Favorites

You can create Favorites from all Timer page views: List-view, Weekly Calendar and, Timesheet-view. They can also be created from a running time entry.

Please note: You can add a maximum of 10 Favorite time entries.

In the side-bar on the Timer page, click + to create a new Favorite. Add in a description, task, project, tag, make it billable, and choose whether this Favorite is public or private.

You can also create a Favorite on List-view via the 3-dot control next to any existing time entry.

On Calendar-view, click on an existing time entry and use the 3-dot control on the popup to add the time entry to your Favorites.

To create a Favorite from a running Time Entry, use the 3-dot control next to the Running Timer and choose "Add to Favorites".

Public Favorites

Workspace Admins who would like to share a Favorite with the rest of their workspace members, can do so by setting the Favorite to Public while creating it, or by editing it later.

To do so, just hover on the Favorite, and click on the Public switch. The Favorite will then appear for every team member in the workspace.

  • Only Admins can set a Favorite to public or change it back to private

  • Favorites associated with a private project cannot be made public

  • Team members cannot remove a Public Favorite from their list.

Using Favorites

To start a time entry from a Favorite, simply click the Play button that shows when you hover over it.

We display the most micro-level detail for each Favorite's label.

  • If you only have a Project entered for the time entry, we will show the Project name.

  • If you have a Project and Task entered, we will show Task name.

  • If you have project, Task and Description entered, we will display the Description.

To start a Favorite via the keyboard, just press the number that corresponds with the Favorites position. For example, in the example above, pressing 1 will start a time entry for Meetings. Favorites can be re-ordered by dragging and dropping them to their desired locations.

Click on a Favorite in Manual mode to create a new time entry with the same details. Enter a start and end time as needed to it and click on the checkmark to save the time entry.

Deleting Favorites

To delete a Favorite time entry, hover over it and click Remove.

Notes:

  • If the chosen Favorite time entry has a Project and Task, the app will display the Task name instead of the Project.

  • To create a Favorite from a Time Entry, it must have either a description or a Project.

  • You can add a maximum of 10 private Favorite time entries, as well as see up to 10 additional Public Favorites

  • Only the creator of a Favorite can delete a private or Public Favorite

  • Favorites are also available in the Toggl Track mobile apps, and will be synced between the mobile app and webapp.
