Each account in Tempo has a Post-by-Email Alias that can be set on the Account / Upgrade screen. Just send e-mail to your_alias@keeptempo.com and our software will read your time entry from the e-mail and record it in your account.

You can put your time entry in either the subject or the body of the message, but it’s important that you use this format:

  num_of_hours description #project @tag @tag @tag

Each label after an @-symbol is assumed to be either a tag name, or a project reference. First Tempo checks to see if the word is similar to any of your project names, and if not it is added as a tag. If none of the labels correspond to a project name, Tempo assigns the entry to your default Personal project.

Here’s an example logging 3 hours to a project named Conglomo Web Gate, and we want to tag it with the words development and testing:

  3 Unit testing for modules in ISAPI filter #conglomo @development @testing
