[EasyTime](https://www.techtime-initiative.com/space/EasyTime) records time **instantly** when tracked events occur, **automatically** aligning and merging resulting work logs and making it easier to **visually** review your day.

We track what users do and do not rely on assumptions about how much time an issue spends in a particular status, thus not asking the users to change their natural workflow, e.g. demand the issue to be put In Progress when the user is "working on it". We do not rely on the user to start a tracker, as we found out that everyone forgets to stop these.

EasyTime records time when a user [views an issue](https://techtime-website.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/EasyTime/pages/4883003), comments or resolves the issue, creating work logs with [distinct messages](https://techtime-website.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/EasyTime/pages/5046769), automatically [resolving conflicts](https://techtime-website.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/EasyTime/pages/4882953), [performing merging](https://techtime-website.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/EasyTime/pages/4981121) and recognising relative [priority of events](https://techtime-website.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/EasyTime/pages/4882936) so the resulting timesheets accurately reflect the reality of what the user was doing.

The ultimate goal is to have time records recorded consistently, efficiently and effectively – to produce timesheets that require [minimal review](https://techtime-website.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/EasyTime/pages/4948091) or [manual editing](https://techtime-website.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/EasyTime/pages/5046349) and have them ready to be submitted for manager's approval, directly to billing, or immediately feed into costing reports.
