RedTimer is an easy-to-use platform-independent time tracker which allows the user to track time while working on an issue. Furthermore, a user can create new issues using RedTimer during which the time tracking will already start.

After starting RedTimer for the first time, the settings window will be displayed. In the settings window, you can specify the URL of the Redmine instance and the API key which can be found in the Redmine account settings.

In the main window, you can enter or select an issue. After issue selection, the issue data will be displayed and the timer can be started.

To select an issue, you can use the Issue Selector which lists available issues according to the selected project, assignee and version.

To create a new issue, you can use the Issue Creator which will start tracking time while you type the new issue data.

For Ubuntu instructions, please have a look at the Ubuntu README.

The simplest way is to pick a binary from GitHub (https://github.com/fathomssen/redtimer/releases). Daily builds can be found at https://www.redtimer.org/builds.

The latest development build for Windows can be found at https://ci.appveyor.com/project/fathomssen/redtimer/build/artifacts.

To use Redmine custom fields in RedTimer, please install the redmine_shared_api plugin from https://github.com/anovitsky/redmine_shared_api.

The following instructions can be used to build the application from source.

git clone https://github.com/fathomssen/redtimer.git
cd redtimer
git submodule update --init
qmake -r
make

This requires for you to have Qt 5.5+ and GCC 4.8.4+ installed and in your path.

Alternatively, you can use a QtCreator distribution from https://www.qt.io. In QtCreator, you can open the project file RedTimer.pro and start the build.
