Track breaks and other non-billable time

Sandtime.io does not include a dedicated break timer, but it works well with a simple project-based approach.

Recommended setup

Create one or more non-billable projects such as:

• Breaks
• Lunch
• PTO
• Internal admin

Then report time to those projects the same way you report time to client or internal work.

Why this approach works

• breaks remain visible in timesheets and reports,
• billable totals stay separated,
• the workflow stays consistent for everyone on the team.

Tip

If you only need one bucket, a single non-billable Breaks project is usually enough. If reporting needs are stricter, split lunch, personal time, and leave into separate non-billable projects.
