For our projects, we work with numerous boards and items (topics), and we are required to switch from one topic of Board A to another topic of Board B or Board C within few seconds and afterwards also to go back to the previous items to continue time tracking there. This is often quite a struggle to navigate back and forth to the different items and to resume the time tracking.
It would be great if we could make that easier.
How? I believe that it needs a) either a plugin on the chrome browser that displays the below information dynamically in no matter what window is open. or b) like a bar on the top or on the side of the monday.com page, when logged into our workspaces, example:
in order to have in one view the current items (CI) that have time tracking running and also the last 5 items (LI) that have been used for time tracking. Like this it will allow us to quickly stop one time tracking and relaunch another one we are working on or have been working on maybe 15 mins ago without having to navigate between the boards again.
This is a fantastic idea! The ability to seamlessly switch between different topics or boards and efficiently manage time tracking is a common challenge many of us face. Your proposed solutions, such as a Chrome browser plugin or a dedicated top/side bar on the Monday.com page, would be incredibly useful.
Having a dynamic display that shows the current items with active time tracking and the last 5 items used for time tracking would definitely streamline the process. It would save us a lot of time and eliminate the need for constant navigation between boards.
I think I’d prefer an option that doesn’t require a plug-in, so it’d be nice f there was an easy view-related option, either as a header on the table view, or as a simple view/filter setting that can be enabled, so that a view can be created for the board.

You can now easily stop the clock on the group name (it flashes when a clock is running) and timers start and stop on item change. The app is called Smart Timer and Team Tracking which has the same look and feel as the native monday.com timer.
We had the same pain point with our service based business, staff spent far too long trying to find their clock and remembering to stop one before starting the next, so we got our dev to build a solution which we have now released to the monday.com marketplace.
We also built in the ability for the team to see LIVE who is recording time on what, this helps us to manage our remote team and re-delegate work as needed.
We have only recently launched so if there are any tweaks that would help it better suit your business feel free to add to the live chat and we will see if we can roll it out in the next update.
