Everhour tracks work hours in a browser, so Linux teams can log project time without a native desktop installer.
Enter your time in and out for each day. Overtime and gross pay are calculated automatically.
| Day | Time In | Break Start | Break End | Break | Time Out | Total |

The calculator gives you the number — Everhour takes it from there.
One click and you're timing. Start a timer, add an entry, edit the details. This is exactly how it feels in Everhour.
Set a budget, assign rates, and get alerted before you're over.

Every report you need — configured your way, always up to date.
Tracked hours flow straight into a polished invoice — no copy-paste, no manual math.
You came here to record work time from a Linux machine, usually while tickets, docs, chat, and project boards are already open. A browser-based workflow keeps the timer beside the source task: pin the tracker as an app window, keep it in a separate workspace, or open it next to the project tool before starting the day. That setup reduces missed starts and end-of-day reconstruction.
A useful record shows the date, person, project, task, start and stop pattern, total time, billable status, and notes that explain the work. For U.S. payroll review, the FLSA requires covered employers to keep accurate records for nonexempt workers, including daily hours worked and total hours worked each workweek for employees covered by the FLSA minimum wage or overtime provisions. Client billing needs similar detail, plus rates and invoice categories.
Start each entry from the work item you can defend later: a project, ticket, client request, support case, or internal task. Add the date, the worker, the time category, and a short note before the context disappears. Timer entries suit active production work. Manual entries suit approved corrections, offline work, or meetings logged after the fact. Keep both types clearly labeled so review does not treat reconstructed time as live-tracked time.
Billing and payroll use different groupings. A client invoice needs billable time, non-billable time, rates, expenses if used, and USD totals for U.S. users. Payroll review needs daily hours, weekly totals, and the fixed 168-hour workweek used for FLSA overtime. Hours cannot be averaged across two or more workweeks for FLSA overtime purposes, so the workweek boundary belongs in the record design.
Linux users often choose between a browser tab, a pinned web app window, and a browser extension tied to supported project sites. Pick the entry point that stays closest to the source task. A developer working from GitHub or Jira benefits from starting time inside the issue view. A consultant switching between email, documents, and calls benefits from a dedicated tracker window that remains visible across workspaces.
Saved inputs deserve attention on shared Linux workstations. Browser privacy settings, profile resets, and tracking-prevention settings can clear local state, so export or submit time before closing a temporary session. A separate browser profile for work also keeps client projects, autofill values, and personal browsing apart. That separation supports cleaner records without collecting activity data that the team does not need.
A one-off tracker is enough when one person needs a daily total, a quick project recap, or a small invoice support sheet. It also works for a short engagement with a single rate and no approval step. Covered employers under the FLSA must preserve payroll records for at least three years and basic time and earnings records, such as daily start/stop time cards or sheets, for at least two years.
A managed workflow earns its keep when tracked time controls budgets, billing, approvals, and project handoffs. Everhour supports hour-based and money-based project budgets, recurring budget periods, threshold email alerts, budget protection, and multiple billing methods, so time logged during the week can feed budget review before it becomes an invoice or payroll record.

No. The operating system does not set the legal recordkeeping method. Under the FLSA, covered employers must keep accurate records for nonexempt workers, but federal law does not require a specific timekeeping form or system. A browser app, spreadsheet, or installed application can work if the record is complete, accurate, and retained.
Each entry should identify the worker, date, project or task, start and stop pattern, total time, billable status, and any note needed to explain the work. For employees covered by the FLSA minimum wage or overtime provisions, employer records must include hours worked each workday and total hours worked each workweek.
Browser privacy settings can clear unsaved drafts, autofill values, or local preferences, especially in temporary profiles and shared workstations. Submitted entries stored in a proper system are safer than an open tab left running after work stops. Export or submit time before closing a private session or resetting a Linux browser profile.
FLSA overtime for covered nonexempt employees is checked by workweek, with overtime pay due for hours worked over 40 in a fixed 168-hour workweek at not less than one and one-half times the regular rate. Hours from two or more workweeks cannot be averaged together for FLSA overtime purposes.
Saturday, Sunday, holiday, or regular rest-day work does not by itself trigger federal overtime premium pay under the FLSA. The weekly overtime rule still applies when covered nonexempt employees work over 40 hours in the workweek. State law, a union agreement, an employment contract, or an employer policy can create additional premium-pay rights.
Everhour Project Budgeting ties logged project time to hour-based or money-based budgets as work is entered from the web app or supported project tools. Teams can use recurring budget periods, email alerts at 75%, 90%, 100%, or custom thresholds, and budget protection that stops timers and prevents extra logging after a budget is exceeded.
Everhour Time Tracking shows active timers, the person tracking, and the task or project currently in progress. Managers get a live check on current work and project progress without waiting for end-of-week timesheet submission.
Track Linux work in a managed flow where project hours feed Everhour Project Budgeting, recurring limits, alerts, and budget protection, so project budgets stay visible before billing.
