Tutorial

First-time setup: your first 15 minutes in Timix.AI

Create your account, check the organization Timix.AI sets up for you with your time zone and currency, and use the setup checklist to get it ready to track billable hours.

Beginner 10 min

Setting up a new Timix.AI organization takes about ten minutes. This tutorial walks the essentials — creating your account, checking the organization Timix.AI sets up for you, and following the setup checklist — so you finish with a live organization that’s ready to track its first billable hour.

1. Create your account

Open the sign-up page and create your account. You can register with an email address and password, or use Continue with Google if you’d rather not manage another password. Every new organization starts on a free trial — no credit card required.

The Timix.AI sign-up page — register with email or with Google

If you register with email and password, choose a strong one — the form tells you when it meets the policy.

2. Verify your email

Timix.AI sends a verification link to your address. You can start setting up right away — there’s a short grace period, and the app shows a reminder banner until you confirm. Open the email and click the link to verify (check your spam folder if it doesn’t arrive).

3. Your organization is ready

The first time you sign in, Timix.AI sets up your organization for you — the top of everything you’ll build. It’s named after you (“Dana’s organization”), and the three things that anchor every report and invoice that follows come from your browser:

  • Country — set from your time zone.
  • Base Currency — your country’s currency, the one your rates, budgets, and invoices are expressed in.
  • Time Zone — determines which calendar day a time entry belongs to.

You go straight into the app, on the free trial. To give the organization your business’s name, open Organization → Settings and change Organization name — the country, currency, and time zone are there too.

If your browser doesn’t say which country you’re in (it’s set to UTC, say), Timix.AI asks instead of guessing: the Create your organization page opens with your organization name already filled in. Pick your country and click Create organization.

Joining a team that invited you? Then no organization is set up for you — open the invitation and join theirs.

4. Get set up and invite your team

You land in your new organization with a setup checklist that walks the first things to do — in the exact order the hierarchy is built:

The welcome checklist — create a customer, add a project, log time, invite your team

  1. Create your first customer — the top of your billing hierarchy (the clients you bill).
  2. Add a project — group the work you do for that customer.
  3. Log your first time entry — all time is logged at the subtask level.
  4. Invite your team — bring teammates on board (Organization → Users) so they can track their time too, each with the right role.

That’s it — your organization is live and ready. The natural next step is understanding the structure everything hangs off: the customer → project → task → subtask hierarchy.

FAQ

Frequently asked

Do I need a credit card to start?

No. Every new organization starts on a full-access free trial — 90 days, no credit card required. You choose a plan later, once you've seen Timix.AI on your own data.

Can I rename my organization?

Yes, any time, under Organization → Settings. Timix.AI names it after you when you sign up ("Dana's organization") so you can start right away — give it your business's name whenever you like.

Can I change the time zone or currency after setup?

Yes. Both are organization settings you can update later under Organization → Settings. They anchor how reports group time and how amounts display, so it's worth getting them right early — but they aren't locked.

Do I have to verify my email before I can use it?

You can start exploring right away during a short grace period — Timix.AI shows a reminder banner until you confirm. Click the link in the email we send (check spam if you don't see it) to verify before the grace period ends.
