The main window is vertically split into two parts. The 1st piece is the project tree, the 2nd part of the window is the table of entries.

Project Tree

This tree displays all of the available projects.

You can use the context menu to work with the items. Alternatively, you can use the menu “Project” of the menubar.

Use drag&drop to rearrange the projects.

You can configure the visible columns by using entries of the menu “Settings”.

Table of Entries

This table displays all the entries for the currently selected project.

Each item is called a ‘time entry’.

You can use the context menu to work with the items.
