Setting Up a Trial Account for Your Company

Start the Trial

1. Go to the Time Doctor website.
2. Select Start Trial from the upper‑right corner or fill out the form on the main page and select Try it free.
   
   
3. Enter Name, Email, Company size, and Phone number, then create a Password that meets all rules:
   • At least 8 characters
   • One uppercase letter
   • One lowercase letter
   • At least one number
   • One special character (no spaces)
     
     
4. Complete Onboarding
   1. Follow the Onboarding prompts to set up the Company Account.
   2. Select options that match the organization’s setup and workflows.
      
      
5. Select your tracking Type: 
   1. Interactive - lets users start and pause tracking from the desktop app, and select tasks when Projects & Tasks is enabled. It is best suited for remote teams or mixed-use devices where more user control is needed.
   2. Automatic - runs silently in the background whenever the computer is turned on, with no user interface and no option to pause tracking while the device is running. It is best for work-only environments that require minimal user interaction.
      
      
      
      
6. Invite the Team
   1. Use the onboarding step to invite team members who will track time.
   2. Assign appropriate access levels (e.g., Owner, Admin, Manager, Regular User, Client).
   3. Skip inviting for now if needed; invite later from Invite page in the web app.
      
      
7. Open the Web App Dashboard

   After onboarding, access the Web App Dashboard. Expect no data initially. Data appears after users start tracking time.
   
   
   
   
8. Install the Desktop App (Interactive)
   If the Owner or other members will track time:
   1. Open the Download page in the web app.
   2. Download and install the Interactive Desktop App for the operating system (Windows, macOS, Ubuntu).
      
      
      
      

Next Steps (Recommended)

• Evaluate reports with real data after inviting at least a few users.
• Choose the best configuration for the company or team.
• Consider enabling managers to invite users if that suits the organization.
