Preferences

Updated Apr 23, 2026

Account-wide settings that control defaults, rounding, and invoice branding. Open via the sidebar → Preferences.

Tracking defaults

Week start

Which day your week begins on (Monday, Sunday, Saturday, etc.). Affects how calendars display inside the app. No impact on invoices.

Currency

Your default currency (ISO 4217 code: USD, EUR, GBP, EGP, JPY, etc.). This is the currency that pre-fills when you create a new Time Frame. You can override per Time Frame.

Hourly rate

Your default billing rate. Pre-fills on new Time Frames, overrideable per Time Frame.

Applied to all billable time entries on a Time Frame: duration (hours) × rate = billable amount.

Fixed entries aren't multiplied by the rate - they're either a fixed hour count (which then uses the rate) or a flat amount, depending on how you use them.

Rounding

Controls how time entry durations are rounded.

  • Round duration to: an interval in minutes - 0 (off), 5, 10, 15, 30, or 60.
  • Rounding method: how to round:
    • Up - always round up to the next interval. An entry from 10:00 to 10:01 becomes 15 minutes (with 15-minute rounding).
    • Down - always round down. 10:00 to 10:14 becomes 0 minutes.
    • Nearest - round to the nearest interval. 10:00 to 10:07 rounds down to 0; 10:00 to 10:08 rounds up to 15.

Rounding applies at display time and invoice time. Your original start/end times are preserved - switching rounding off later restores the precise durations.

If you set roundDurationTo, you must also set roundMethod (and vice versa) - the form enforces this.

Fixed entries are not rounded. Rounding only applies to time entries with computed durations.

Invoice branding

These fields appear on every generated invoice.

  • Invoice name (max 255 chars) - your name or business name, shown as the seller. E.g., "Ahmed Deghady" or "Ahmed Deghady Design".
  • Invoice title (max 255 chars) - heading on the invoice. Default: "Invoice". You can use "Statement", "Statement of Work", or anything client-appropriate.
  • Invoice address (max 255 chars) - your billing address. Plain text; line breaks are preserved.
  • Invoice primary color - hex (#RRGGBB or #RGB). Controls the color of headings, dividers, and the total row in the PDF.

Leave any of these blank to use LogForMe defaults.

Saving preferences

Edit the form, hit Save (or Ctrl/Cmd+S). A toast confirms the save. All preferences are applied immediately - including to invoices you regenerate afterward.

What's not in preferences (yet)

  • Notification settings (email digests, reminders).
  • Advanced invoice customization.

All are candidates for future releases. Email operations@logforme.com with a use-case if one of these is blocking you.

Community Edition note

All preferences are available in the Community Edition too - this is a feature-parity area across all plans.
