timeghost Time tracking can be installed as a Progressive Web App (PWA) on supported desktop and mobile devices.

As a PWA, timeghost opens in its own application window and, depending on your device, can be launched directly from your desktop, taskbar, Start menu, or Home Screen. This means you do not have to open timeghost in your browser or through Microsoft Teams each time.


In short

Open web.timeghost.io in a supported browser and install timeghost as an app. You can then launch timeghost directly from your device while continuing to use the same account and workspace.

Use timeghost after installation

You continue to use your existing Microsoft account as well as the same workspaces, permissions, and data available when accessing timeghost through your browser or Microsoft Teams.


You are not tied to a single access method. For example, you can use timeghost as a PWA on your desktop and open the same workspace in your browser or Microsoft Teams whenever needed.
