Frequently asked Questions

TimeSpin is a tactile time-tracking device in the shape of a cube. By simply rotating it, it automatically records what you’re working on.
Each side represents a specific task, project, or client. This allows time to be tracked seamlessly—without interrupting your workflow.

No – while the TimeSpin cube has 12 physical sides, you’re not limited to just 12 activities overall.
Using the “Create new template” feature in the dashboard, you can create as many sets of 12 tasks or projects as you need. You can store and manage an unlimited number of activities – but only 12 can be assigned to the cube at the same time.

To transfer the recorded entries to the TimeSpin Portal, you need an active internet connection and an active Bluetooth connection between the TimeSpin cube and your PC, smartphone, or tablet.
Without a connection, the cube can continue tracking locally, but syncing with the portal will only happen once both connections are re-established.

The cube records the time each top-facing side is active. It stores the activity name and duration locally on the device.
Once the data is transferred to the TimeSpin web portal, the entries are automatically deleted from the cube to free up storage and ensure efficient syncing.

Yes, TimeSpin is perfect for home office use. The cube connects via Wi-Fi and does not require any local server setup.

You can track your working hours at home just as accurately and transparently as in the office – without extra software or manual entries. All data is instantly available in the dashboard and can be shared with your team or manager if needed.

TimeSpin is ideal for anyone working on a project basis: agencies, freelancers, controllers, IT teams, and law firms. It is especially helpful in environments where focus, time tracking, and transparency are essential.

You can connect TimeSpin to any system using connectors and APIs. Integration with HR management systems like HR-Works or Personio, as well as accounting software such as Lexware or Sevdesk, is possible.

This allows you to seamlessly incorporate TimeSpin’s data into your existing workflows and software environment.

TimeSpin combines tactile operation with digital precision. Its biggest advantage: you automatically track your time simply by rotating the cube—intuitively, without clicks or distractions.

This brings clear benefits:

  • No manual follow-up: No more time tracking at the end of the day.
  • More focus: Activities are consciously selected, boosting concentration and productivity.
  • Transparency & trust: Teams, managers, and freelancers get a clear view of what was worked on.
  • Ready to use immediately: No complex setup—just connect to Wi-Fi, assign sides, and start.
  • High team acceptance: Not surveillance software, but a smart, physical tool that promotes personal responsibility.

In short: TimeSpin makes time tracking simple, visible, and honest.

When the cube no longer connects and the blinking light becomes weaker, it’s time to replace the batteries.

The cube contains two batteries: one located on top of the circuit board and one underneath it. You can carefully remove the circuit board, replace both batteries, and then reinsert the board.
