Terranix
This guide explains how to use Terranix Lite for your own work: signing in, recording the time you spend on projects, recording your attendance, and seeing your hours and the amount they come to.
It is intended for everyone who uses a Lite workspace. Managing projects, people, hourly rates and reports is covered in the Terranix Lite Admin Guide.
Version V0.1 (2026-10-29)
Terranix Lite is the small version of Terranix. It does four things: it records the time people spend on projects, it records attendance, it keeps the list of projects and people, and it adds the hours up into amounts. Every screen has the same three parts: a bar across the top, your work in the middle, and a row of tabs along the bottom.
This is what you see after signing in. Lite opens on the Timesheet tab.
The top bar is the same on every screen. It is shown here on a computer, where there is room for all of it.
Each tab opens one part of Lite.
Terranix Lite has the same screens, the same tabs and the same buttons on a computer and on a phone. Nothing is missing on either. On a computer the screen is simply wider, which gives long lines more room. Most pictures in this guide were taken on a phone; a picture labelled Computer shows a screen that is easier to read at full width.
The top bar, the work area and the tabs are in the same places. The tabs stay along the bottom.
You cannot register yourself. An Admin or the Owner of your company adds you, and Terranix emails you an invite link. Open the link and choose your own password; after that you sign in with your work email and that password.
Open the Terranix Lite address your company gave you and sign in with your work email and the password you chose from your invite link.
If you have turned on the authenticator app, a box called Authenticator code appears under your password. Open the app, type the 6-digit code it shows, and press Sign In.
The first time you sign in, a box called Review & acknowledge legal terms covers the screen. It holds two documents: the data-protection agreement and the privacy policy.
Scroll each document to its end. Type your full name in the box under them and press Sign & continue. Lite opens after that.
Not pictured: the people in the practice workspace have already signed these documents, so the screen does not appear for them.
Press Forgot? on the sign-in page. Enter your work email and press Send reset link. Terranix emails you a link; open it and choose a new password.
Press the shield button in the top bar. Press Turn on authenticator, enter your password again, and add the account to an authenticator app: scan the QR code on a computer, or press Open in authenticator app on a phone. Type the 6-digit code the app shows and press Turn on.
Terranix then shows ten recovery codes, once. Save them somewhere safe before you close the box.
Press the key button in the top bar. The box that opens starts with Signed in as, which shows your email and access level. Enter your current password, then your new password twice, and press Update password.
At the end of each day, record how long you worked on each project. One entry is one project, one date and a stretch of time. You can give the time as a number of hours, or as a start time and an end time. There is nothing to send for approval: in Lite an entry counts as soon as you save it.
The Timesheet tab lists the entries you have made, newest first. Each one shows the project, the task if you chose one, your note, the hours, the date and the time it ran, and whether its month is still open.
Press Log time. Choose the project, the task if there is one, the date and the number of hours. The note is optional.
If you know when you started and stopped, press Use start–end beside the Hours label instead. The next step shows it.
Press Submit timesheet entry to save.
Press Use start–end beside the Hours label. The label changes from Hours to Time, and the Hours box is replaced by two time boxes with a dash between them: the start on the left and the end on the right. The Date box takes the full width.
Type when you started and when you stopped. Lite works out the hours. Press Use hours to go back to the Hours box.
After you save, a box called Entry saved may appear. It says, for example, “Saved. This time is outside your check-in for the day (08:30–17:00).” Press its button to close it.
The entry is saved either way. The box is only a notice.
Not pictured: the notice appears only after an entry is saved, and the capture never saves anything.
Press Edit on an entry that is marked Open. The form opens on the entry's saved start and end times. Change the project, the task, the date, the times (or the hours, if you switch with Use hours) or the note, and press Save changes.
To remove an entry, press Delete on its line. Lite asks you to confirm, because a deleted entry cannot be brought back.
Check in when you start work and check out when you stop. Attendance is separate from your timesheet: one records when you were at work, the other what you worked on.
Open the Attendance tab. The card at the top shows today's date, the time, and whether you are checked in. Press Check in now when you start work.
Once you are checked in, the card says Clocked In and the button changes to Check out. Press it when you stop work. Below the card, First In shows when you first checked in today and Last out when you last checked out.
A round microphone button is a shortcut for four things you do every day: checking in, checking out, and logging time by hours or by start and end times. Tap it, say one command, read the card that appears and tap the button on the card. It is on every Lite screen, on a computer and on a phone, at the bottom right above the tabs.
Tap the microphone and say one command. Tap it again to stop listening. It turns red while it listens.
A card then says in words what will happen. Nothing is saved until the card is confirmed.
The first time you tap the microphone, a notice opens before anything is heard.
The Dashboard tab adds up the time you have recorded. Choose a month, a year or your own dates, and it shows your total hours, the amount they come to, and how the hours divide between projects.
