Does YouTrack has a automatic time tracking feature?

Question

We are considering to switch from FogBugz to YouTrack.

So far YouTrack ticks all our boxes except automatic time tracking. In FogBugz we just select that we started to work on a feature and it tracks time for us, while in YouTrack logging time is a manual process. Is it possible to automate time tracing with YouTrack, perhaps by using a third party app?

For a reference, here is how "working on" automatic time tracking feature works in FogBugz: http://www.fogcreek.com/fogbugz/docs/70/topics/schedules/Workingon.html

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

there's a workflow called workTimer available that you can attach to your project. It starts a timer each time you move an issue to 'In progress' state and logs a work item each time you trasfer from 'In progress' to 'Fixed'. Hope this helps.

Answer 2

You may use https://github.com/kleder/timetracker. This allows you to record the time you spend on your tasks and synchronize it with youtrack.

Answer 3

My team uses YouTrack, but we've decided to go with TMetric for time tracking. Both systems connect with each other via a browser plugin, and then you can record time spent working in YouTrack by clicking the TMetric button inside each task.
