Tracking Time across Multiple Devices at the same time

at FAQ, Hubstaff
Question:

Is it possible to run Hubstaff on two devices simultaneously?

I usually use two computers at the same time and have Hubstaff installed on both. I notice that Hubstaff does not count time twice when I run both timers at the same time from the same user account. Would like more information on how Hubstaff handles this.

Answer:

Hubstaff works on multiple devices like laptops, computers, mobile devices, and tablets.

It is possible to run the timer simultaneously from multiple devices on the same account. However, Hubstaff will only record time data from one device at a time. Overlapping data from all other devices will be deleted. Time data received by the server first will usually overwrite other overlapping data from other devices for the same period.

To ensure proper time tracking, we recommend using the timer on only one device at a time. Whenever you are using multiple devices, stop the time tracker on one device before starting another. Alternately, set up an additional user account on the second device.

Hubstaff allows you to track time on multiple devices with continuity to the same user account so long as there is no time overlap. The user account will display all the time tracked across multiple devices. However, the time it takes for the data to sync with your user account will depend on the speed of your internet connection and the device you are using.
