Day Browser

The Day Browser is one of the most interesting parts of TimeSnapper. It's the place where you can go back in time and see what you were really doing in the computer. It has a lot more features and functionality than is readily apparent at first glance.


Play/Pause button

  • Starts and stops the playback of selected day


TimeBar

  • Shows the times of the day that you were active in front of the computer
  • Click anywhere on the TimeBar to jump to that point in time
  • See TimeBar for a lot more info on how you can use it


Day picker

  • Select the day you need to review


Speed

  • Set the speed you want to play your day


Filter

  • If you only want to view screen shots for a particular program


Zoom

  • Zooms in and out of the image
  • Set it to "(To Fit)" if you want to see the whole image as large as possible, while still seeing the whole picture


Flag

  • Create flags on the timeline/TimeBar to add notes to specific periods or screen shots


Image menu

  • Copy Image
  • Copy Path
  • Open Parent Folder
  • Edit
  • Extract Text (OCR)
  • Exclude From Capture
  • Delete Selected Images
  • Properties


View menu

  • Productivity Score


Other

  • Image control
  • Productivity panel
  • Selection panel

Tips

  • If you want finer control over the play speed than what you get with the drop down, you can enter the speed directly in milliseconds. TimeSnapper will use that number as the delay between playing each frame. If you enter 10000, TimeSnapper will advance by 1 frame every 10 seconds.
  • Although the filter drop down box appears only to support filtering by program names, it actually can filter on window titles as well. Just type directly into it and TimeSnapper will filter as you type on either the program name or the window title
  • You can select a range of activity on the TimeBar just like you can select text in any Windows application -- using either the mouse or the keyboard.
