Toggl Keyboard Shortcuts: Work Faster with Toggl Track

If you use Toggl Track every day, keyboard shortcuts can help you start timers, switch tasks, and navigate the app more efficiently. Even saving a few seconds each time you track your work can add up over the course of a busy day.

In this guide, we'll cover what keyboard shortcuts are available in Toggl Track and how they can improve your workflow.

Why Use Keyboard Shortcuts?

Keyboard shortcuts let you perform common actions without reaching for your mouse.

For frequent Toggl users, this can help you:

• Start timers more quickly
• Reduce interruptions
• Switch between tasks faster
• Build a consistent time-tracking habit

The fewer steps it takes to track your work, the more likely you are to do it consistently.

Common Toggl Shortcuts

The exact shortcuts available may vary depending on whether you're using the web app, desktop app, or browser extension.

Common actions include:

• Starting a new timer
• Stopping the current timer
• Opening the time entry window
• Searching for projects
• Navigating between views

You can usually find the latest list of shortcuts within Toggl's documentation or application settings.

Create Your Own Shortcuts

If Toggl doesn't offer a shortcut for a task you perform frequently, you may be able to create your own using tools such as:

• Apple Shortcuts
• Keyboard shortcut utilities
• Automation software
• Productivity applications

Combining Toggl with automation tools can further reduce repetitive actions throughout your workday.

Build Better Time-Tracking Habits

Keyboard shortcuts are not just about speed. They also make it easier to remember to track your time.

When starting or stopping a timer becomes second nature, you'll create more complete and accurate time records.

Small workflow improvements like this often have a bigger impact than switching to a different time-tracking app.

Save Even More Time on iPhone

Keyboard shortcuts make Toggl faster while you're working at your computer. On your iPhone, Toggl Lockscreen Widget helps remove another step from your workflow.

Instead of unlocking your phone and opening Toggl Track, you can view your active timer directly on your Lock Screen using Live Activities and stop it with just a tap.

Together, keyboard shortcuts on your computer and a lock screen widget on your iPhone help make time tracking as effortless as possible.
