Toggl vs WakaTime

Toggl is a manual time tracker, meaning you have to remember to start and stop a timer. WakaTime is an automatic time tracker, so you never have to remember about starting a timer. Because WakaTime is automatic, it can also detect the project being worked on automatically so developers aren’t distracted from their work by a manual time tracker.
