Core Feature

Task Stack Management

Your work stack is a live, ordered list of what you are working on right now. Push a task to the top when you start it, pop it when you're done. The stack always reflects your current focus — no complex project boards, no clutter.

  • Push tasks instantly with a single action
  • Pop completed tasks to reveal what's next
  • Duplicate task detection prevents accidental double-entry
  • Reorder tasks as your priorities shift
Your Stack 3 items
Write Q2 report 1h 23m
Review pull requests 0h 45m
Team standup prep 0h 12m
Time Tracking

Automatic Session Tracking

Every time you push or pop a task, Work Stack Manager silently records a timed session in the background. No timers to start or stop — your time log builds itself as you work.

  • Sessions recorded automatically on every push and pop
  • View full session history per task
  • Edit session durations when needed
  • Mark individual sessions as billable

Today 1h 23m Billable
Yesterday 0h 52m Billable
Mon 19 May 2h 05m Non-billable
Total 4h 20m
Billing

Billable Task Flagging

Keep billable and non-billable work clearly separated. Flag any task as billable when you push it, and Work Stack Manager tracks the distinction throughout the session history and reports — so invoicing is based on accurate data, not guesswork.

  • Flag tasks as billable at push time
  • Billable status carried through to reports
  • Separate totals for billable and non-billable time in every report

Billable Summary — This Week

Billable 14h 30m
Non-billable 5h 40m
Total tracked 20h 10m
Reporting

Reports and CSV Export

Turn your time log into meaningful summaries. Generate reports by date range to see where your time went, how much was billable, and which tasks consumed the most of your day. Export any report to CSV for use in spreadsheets or invoicing tools.

  • Flexible date range selection
  • Per-task time totals with billable breakdown
  • One-click CSV export for spreadsheets and invoicing
  • Grand totals across all tasks in the period

Alerts

Inactivity and Time Alerts

Stay on track with configurable alerts. Get notified when your top task has been running too long, or when nothing has changed on the stack for a while. Alerts fire in the browser so you can refocus without breaking your flow.

  • Inactivity alert when the stack hasn't changed for a set period
  • Active time alert when the top task exceeds your chosen limit
  • Configurable thresholds: 15, 30, 45, or 60 minutes
  • Set to zero to disable either alert

Alert Settings

Inactivity Alert 30 min

Alert if the stack hasn't changed in 30 minutes

Active Time Alert 45 min

Alert if the top task exceeds 45 minutes

Audit

Activity Log

Every push, pop, and change on your stack is recorded in a chronological activity log. Review exactly what happened and when — useful for end-of-day summaries, client updates, or simply understanding how your day unfolded.

  • Chronological log of all stack events
  • Timestamps for every action
  • Persistent across sessions and devices
