Our approach
Keeping it simple by focusing on the users needs. Early on, we identified the three main tasks carried out around time tracking. The whole app is designed around these tasks, presented below with screenshots of Jiffy’s three main screens.
Dashboard
Every day time tracking
History
Verify and edit logged times
Summary
Summarize logged times
Helix – Custom Time Picker
When a user is setting a start or stop time of an entry, the time chosen is relative either to now, or other entries during the day. We visualize the entries in the dial of the time picker, so the user can see, and quickly jump to the end of a previous entry. Time is linear, therefore we designed a helix where times are simply moved along the timeline by swiping. It gives the best of two worlds, both a linear timeline, and also a circular dial which you can easily interact with.
History visualization
To give a clear overview of logged times, the editing and verification section has a graphical visualization. It is in the shape of a calendar, that most people are familiar with. It allows the users to see their logged times at a glance, as well as edit and add times forgotten.
