From the Autodesk App Store:

Description

Project Tracker is a tool created to assist in time management during the BIM modeling and design process.

With the use of the plugin, it is possible to register the time used modeling in Autodesk® Revit®, counting the total hours of work per file, per sheet, per view or per task.

To record the hours just press the "Start" button. Time recording is automatically stopped when inactivity is detected.

Information present in the model such as the file name, name, and view type are captured automatically. For a more detailed view of your work, you can manually add information regarding the name of the project, discipline, or task you are working on.

The recorded data can be viewed directly in Revit with bar or area charts (timeline). In addition, the data can be easily imported and viewed in other software, such as Excel or Power BI.
