Go Go TimeTracker

System Diagram

Inspiration

The basic idea for the application came from our daily work life, as we need to accurately track every minute of working time on a variety of projects and mandates. Since manually creating time-sheets, is both inefficient and inaccurate, we were looking for a more automated solution. As nearly everyone constantly has the smartphone with an integrated assistant at hand, we decided to do a voice controlled application.

What it does

We can start and stop the tracking of tasks directly on Clockify by only talking to our phones! We can also control a set of tasks by rotating a "smart"-box.

How we built it

Using the Action on Google for the Google Assistant and Cloud Functions for the integration with the API from Clockify. The box contains an Android phones that detects its orientation and then sends it to the Cloud Functions.

Challenges we ran into

Initially the goal was to develop our own time tracking application from the start. However, we quickly realised that there are already many sophisticated solutions available. Therefore we have used clockify.me which offers an extensive time tracking application.
