Add a tracker to Notion

History is local to this browser. Importing into Notion is manual; this widget does not automatically write to your workspace.

Loading your tracker…

Study by subject

Track reading, revision and practice separately. Review saved time by subject before planning your next study session.

Understand project effort

Name the task and project, pause for interruptions, then save the session. Compare actual time with your estimates.

Review your workday

Build a personal time log across writing, admin and meetings. Export sessions to keep a longer record in Notion.

How to track time in Notion

  1. Customise the time tracker below and copy the Notion link.
  2. In your Notion page, type /embed, paste the URL and choose Embed link. Resize the block to leave room for your task list.
  3. Enter a task and optional project, then choose Start tracking. Pause during breaks and Save session when you finish.
  4. Review today’s saved total, or export all saved sessions as a CSV. Each viewer keeps their own browser history.

If your Notion app blocks an embed or its storage, open the tracker link in your browser. Embedded and standalone storage can be separate; export from the place where you tracked the work.

Turn your sessions into a Notion time log

Choose Export CSV in the tracker, then import the file into Notion using its CSV importer. The file includes Task, Project, Seconds, Minutes, Started at and Completed at. Dates use UTC timestamps; the widget’s daily totals use your local completion date.

Use Task as the title column and Minutes as a number. Group by Project and sum Minutes for a project view. Keep the first import as your time-log template, or start with a Notion time-tracking template.

Each export contains all saved sessions. Import it into a fresh table or remove overlapping rows before merging, so earlier sessions are not counted twice. See Notion’s import instructions.

Choose the right kind of timer

  • Time tracking: count up, label work and keep a record of actual time spent.
  • Countdown: set a time limit for an activity. Use the Notion timer widget.
  • Pomodoro: alternate focus and break periods. Choose the Notion Pomodoro widget.
  • Team timesheets and billing: use a dedicated service with accounts, shared reports and a supported Notion integration. TimerHub’s local tracker is designed for personal logs.

Notion time tracking questions

Can I track time inside Notion?

You can embed TimerHub’s tracker beside your notes and use its controls there. Notion also offers database-based time-tracking templates. TimerHub measures elapsed time in the widget; it does not add native Start or Stop properties to your database.

Does it keep tracking if I close the page?

A running session keeps counting until you pause or save, including time with the page closed. It restores when browser storage is available. Pause before stepping away if that time should be excluded.

Where are my task names and sessions stored?

They are saved in this browser’s local storage, scoped to your tracker link. They are not added to the embed URL or custom analytics events. Clearing site data removes history. Export regularly. Browser privacy settings can block storage inside Notion.

Does it sync automatically to Notion or my phone?

No. Use CSV export and Notion’s importer to move completed sessions into a database. Each browser or embedded storage context has its own history. A shared Notion page does not combine different people’s time logs.

Can I have a separate tracker for each project?

Yes. Create a separate timer link in the builder for an independent history. Alternatively, keep one tracker and enter the project for each task to see project totals together.

Setup reference: Notion’s embed documentation. TimerHub is an independent product. Anonymous widget events measure usage without task or project names.
