When you are done tracking time, hit the stop button on the right hand side of the window. If you want to track time again for the same project you can hit start on that time entry.

You can also start the timer from inside apps that Harvest integrates with.

Harvest integrates with many popular tools such as Asana, Trello, Jira, Clickup, Quickbooks, Xero, and so much more. The integrations allow you to start the timer directly from the app you're in without having to switch back to Harvest.

The biggest downside of using timers to track your time is forgetting to start and stop them. If you left your timer running, Harvest will send you an email to notify you. There will also be a notification in the app telling you to go back and edit your time entry.
