The Timesheet

The Timesheet is Nydli's answer to report building: there is none. It always exists, always up to date — your tracked time rolled up by category, with every task listed under the category it lives in.

Periods

Switch between week, month, year or a custom date range. The arrows step one period at a time, Today jumps back to now, and weeks start on the day you chose in Settings. With a custom range, the arrows step by the range's own length.

Reading the sheet

  • Categories keep their hierarchy: a parent category's row sums everything beneath it, and the donut chart up top shows how the period splits across your top-level categories. Hover (or arrow-key through) the donut to inspect a share.
  • Each row shows its hours and its share of the period.
  • Click a task to open it. Collapse categories you don't need — the sheet remembers your collapsed state.
  • Sort by clicking the Task name or Hours column headers; click again to reverse.

Filtering

Filter the sheet by categories (pick several; each covers its whole subtree) and by labels — for example, show only Billable time for one client. Filters combine, and Clear filters takes you back to everything.

Closed and archived tasks always count here: finished work is exactly what a timesheet is for. Only deleted tasks leave the sheet.

Exporting

The Export menu downloads the sheet exactly as you've filtered and sorted it, in your choice of format:

FormatBest for
CSV, Excel, OpenDocumentSpreadsheets and further processing
PDFSending to a client, keeping a record
Markdown, plain textPasting into notes or email
JSONFeeding another tool

Spreadsheet formats use plain data (decimal hours); document formats follow your language and use the sheet's own "5h 03m" notation. Every export is stamped with when it was generated, in your time zone.
