Dashboard
The dashboard is the home screen you see after signing in to Sandtime.io. It gives you a quick view of your progress toward your weekly goal, recent time entries, and a one-click timer to start tracking immediately.
What the Dashboard Shows
- Weekly progress - A bar showing how many hours you have tracked against your weekly goal. For example, "32h of 40h" means you have logged 32 hours and your goal is 40.
- Daily progress - Hours tracked today compared to your daily target.
- Recent activities - A short list of your last time entries so you can quickly resume a task.
- Timer button - Start the built-in timer without opening the Timesheets view.
Goal Progress Bar
The progress bar reflects the core hours you set in Settings. If you work a 30-hour week, set your daily goal to 6 hours across 5 days and the bar tracks against 30h. If you include weekends, the goal spreads across 7 days.
The format is always tracked / goal - for example, 32h of 40h. You can glance at it any time to see how close you are before the week ends.
Starting from the Dashboard
You can log time without navigating away from the home screen:
- Click the timer button to start tracking time right now.
- Select a project and optionally add a note.
- Stop the timer when you finish - the entry is saved to your timesheet automatically.
This is the fastest path for people who track time throughout the day rather than filling in timesheets at the end of the week.

The dashboard depends on core hours to set the goal, records results as activities in your timesheet, and rolls up data that appears in custom reports.
