Introduction

TimeFix is a comprehensive productivity and time management application designed for Windows. It combines three powerful tools in one interface:

  • Activity Tracker - Monitor your application usage and analyze time distribution
  • Time Synchronization - Automatic system time correction for computers with BIOS battery issues
  • Smart Reminders - Quick notes with time triggers and categorization

Activity Tracker

The Activity tab provides detailed insights into how you spend time on your computer. It tracks all active applications and presents the data in an easy-to-understand visual format.

Key Features

Daily Grouping

Activities are organized by date with headers showing the total time for each day

How to Read Activity Data

1.Each day shows a header with date and total time (e.g., "2025-01-04 · 8h 45m")
2.Applications are listed below with progress bars showing relative usage
3.Percentage badges show exact proportion of total daily time
4.Time labels display precise duration in hours and minutes

Tip: Use this data to identify time-wasting applications and optimize your productivity. The visual bars make it easy to spot patterns at a glance.

Time Synchronization

TimeFix solves a common problem: computers with dead BIOS batteries that lose track of time after every shutdown. Instead of manually adjusting the clock, TimeFix does it automatically.

Smart Reminders

Create time-based reminders with customizable categories. Perfect for quick notes, meetings, medication reminders, or any time-sensitive tasks.

Documentation Access

Data Storage

TimeFix stores all data locally on your computer:

  • Activity logs: C:\ProgramData\TimeFix\timefix.log
  • Settings: timefix_settings.pkl in the application directory
  • Language preference: language_settings.pkl in the application directory

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Activity data not showing

Ensure the log file exists at C:\ProgramData\TimeFix\timefix.log. The tracker needs to run for some time before data appears.

Time not syncing automatically

Verify that Automatic mode is enabled and saved. Check if TimeFix is in your Windows startup programs.

Reminders not triggering

TimeFix must be running for reminders to work. The application checks for due reminders every 30 seconds.

Interface language not saving

Make sure TimeFix has write permissions in its installation directory to save the language_settings.pkl file.
