Version 2.7.2 Released October 14, 2026 Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit

Getting set up

  1. Run the installer

    It takes about a minute and needs an administrator to approve it. Timecrumbs then starts with Windows, and a clock appears in the system tray. That's the recorder.

  2. Add your projects

    Type them in, or import a CSV or Excel export from your project management or accounting system. Numbers and names are all it needs.

  3. Work as usual

    Connect your calendar if you like, then forget about it. Open Timecrumbs at the end of the day and confirm what it suggests.

System requirements

  • Windows 10 or Windows 11, 64-bit
  • About 120 MB of disk space, plus room for screenshots if you turn them on
  • Internet only for calendar sign-in, updates, and license activation

If Windows warns you

Some browsers and Windows SmartScreen are cautious with new downloads. The installer is published by Firmware, LLC, the company that makes Timecrumbs; choose Keep in your browser, then More info and Run anyway if SmartScreen appears.

What's new

2.7.2

  • Work hours: tell Timecrumbs when you work, in Settings, Time and display (Monday to Friday, 7 AM to 6 PM to start). It asks about time away from your computer only during those hours, never evenings or days off. Work you do at the computer is recorded whenever you do it.
  • Screenshots are deleted after the time you choose: 45, 60 (the default), or 90 days. Your activity and time entries are always kept. The Screenshots switch is in Settings, Time and display too.
  • Start fresh: behind on your time? Pick a date, and Timecrumbs stops asking about the days before it. Nothing is deleted, and time you already entered still counts and is still sent to your billing system. It's in Settings, Time and display, and the Inbox offers it once a lot is waiting.
  • How much to ask says what each choice means: Most questions (6+ minutes), Some questions (12+), and Fewest questions (30+).
  • Scrolling a page leaves the dropdowns and number boxes you scroll past alone.
  • For firms: the Members list shows each person once, including anyone who signed in after first opening Timecrumbs.
