How does NFC tracking work?

First of all, you will need a NFC Tag. For example, you can buy such tags here:

NFC Tagify shop on amazon


To configure Swipetimes to work with the tag:

  1. scan the tag
  2. specify the action which should occur when the tag is recognized: for example start a project timer
  3. you can also say what happens when the tag is scanned a second time. Most of the time you stop the timer.

Here’s how an example scenario would look like:

You glue a tag on your work table. When you start working, you scan the tag. When leaving the office, you scan one more time, the timer stops.
