Track time from YouTrack

Traqq adds time tracking controls directly to YouTrack issues.

Click the Traqq icon to open the tracking window, where you can:

Traqq automatically uses the YouTrack issue title as the task name in your time entry.

Once tracking starts, your timer stays synced across:

  • Browser extension
  • Traqq web app
  • Traqq desktop app

Stop tracking from YouTrack or any Traqq app.
