Digital Steam Time Tracker is a straightforward tool designed to measure the time spent working on music projects. It functions by being added as the last effect on the main bus track, allowing users to focus on their creative process while the plugin quietly tracks session duration. The tracking can be paused manually or automatically, and users can even assign a MIDI event to control the pause function, making it easy to manage time without interrupting workflow.

This time tracking solution supports multiple instances across any tracks, offering flexibility for various project setups. The plugin provides detailed logging capabilities, including tracking the start date and time of projects and sessions, and displaying time in multiple formats such as hours, minutes, seconds, or extended formats including weeks and days. Its interface is scalable and has been redesigned for ease of use, with improved export options that do not require additional dialogs, simplifying the process of saving session logs.

Digital Steam Time Tracker comes with a standalone version for quick testing outside a DAW environment. The plugin adapts its color to match track colors when supported by the host, enhancing visual integration. Regular updates have improved features like auto resume after manual pause and simplified user interface elements. Support is available via email for bug reports and feature requests, ensuring users can communicate feedback directly to the developer.
