Find anything with search

One search box finds projects, clients, invoices and your own time entries, jumps to any page or setting, and starts a timer — without leaving the keyboard.

Open it

  • Press ⌘K on a Mac, or Ctrl K on Windows.
  • Or click Search or add… at the top of the sidebar.
  • Click the + beside it to open straight onto the list of actions.

the search box open, with Go to and Actions listed

Search

Start typing. Results appear in groups, up to five in each:

  • Projects — by name, with the client beside it. Archived projects are marked Archived.
  • Clients — by name, or by a contact's email address.
  • Invoices — by invoice number or client name.
  • Time entries — your own entries, by description.

Use the arrow keys and Enter to open a result, or click it.

What you can find follows your role: Team members don't see clients or invoices. See Roles and permissions.

Go to a page or setting

Before you type, the list shows Go to — every page in your sidebar — and the results you opened recently from search under Recent (remembered on this device). Settings pages appear as you type: search for what you want to change, such as "payment terms", "dark mode" or "invite", and the right settings page comes up.

Do something

The Actions group lets you:

  • Start timer or Stop timer
  • New time entry
  • New project and New client (Admins and Owners — shown as Portal admin in the app for now)
  • New expense
  • Switch theme — cycle between light, dark and system

If your workspace requires a project on every entry, Start timer asks you to pick a project first.

Start or stop a timer from anywhere

Press Shift N (⇧N on a Mac) on any page to start a timer, or stop the one that's running. It doesn't fire while you're typing in a field.

On a phone or tablet, keyboard shortcuts aren't shown — tap Search or add… in the menu instead.
