Welcome to TimeCamp Help!

Start timer - Apple shortcuts

We prepared a few shortcuts to help you quickly start& stop the TimeCamp timer (also using Siri), wherever you are.

Shortcuts are connected to the TimeCamp web account.


Shortcuts allow you to start a timer and add a note. Timer will be automatically synchronized with your web Timesheet and a time entry will be created. No task will be assigned to this entry and only a note will be added so you can edit your Timesheet at the end of the day and set proper tasks.

You can install 3 different shortcuts, 2 of them refer to starting the timer and 1 refers to stopping the timer:

This shortcut can be installed on your device so you could easily start the timer manually or using Siri. After adding the shortcut you need to input your TimeCamp API token, which is located in your Profile Settings in a web app.


When a shortcut is all setup and connected to your web account you can start the timer in 2 ways:

  1. manually click on the start button on the shortcut;
  2. use a Siri command "Hey Siri, Start TimeCamp";

For both of these methods after starting a timer a new window will appear where you can optionally type a note. A note will be automatically added to your time entry so you won't lose a record of what you were working on.

When a shortcut is all set up and connected to your web account you can start the timer in 2 ways:

  1. manually click on the start button on the shortcut;
  2. use a Siri command "Hey Siri, Start TimeCamp with voice";

The main difference between this shortcut and the previous one is that here after starting a timer you can dictate the note instead of manually typing it. A note will be automatically added to your time entry so you won't lose a record of what you were working on.

When a shortcut is all setup and connected to your web account you can stop the timer in 2 ways:

  1. manually click on the stop button on the shortcut;
  2. use a Siri command "Hey Siri, Stop TimeCamp";

This shortcut can work together with both previous "Start timer" shortcuts and will immediately stop the running timer.

If any timer is running in a web app it will be automatically stopped after using a shortcut and a new timer will be started.
