RedTimer is an easy-to-use platform-independent time tracker which allows the user to track time while working on an issue.
Usually, you can start the RedTimer executable from your file manager. After closing, RedTimer will create a
settings file called RedTimer.ini
in your current working directory.
If you experience problems with the system tray icon, e.g. on Linux, you can deactivate the system tray icon
by calling RedTimer --no-tray-icon
.
The simplest way is to pick a binary from GitHub (https://github.com/fathomssen/redtimer/releases).
The following instructions can be used to build the application from source.
git clone https://github.com/fathomssen/redtimer.git
cd redtimer
git submodule update --init
cd qtredmine
qmake -r
make
cd ..
qmake -r
make
This requires for you to have Qt 5.5+ and GCC 4.8.4+ installed and in your path.
Alternatively, you can use a QtCreator distribution from https://www.qt.io. In QtCreator, you can open the
project files qtredmine/qtredmine.pro
and RedTimer.pro
and start the build.
