1. Unpack and charge the TimeSpin cube
TimeSpin cube version 2.3 ships with a 2000 mAh battery. Place it on the supplied USB-C cable. After 90 minutes the status LED shows steady green. Skip this step and the cube stays silent; the app finds no device.
2. Download the app and create an account
Install the TimeSpin app version 4.1 from the App Store or Google Play. Create an account with the Basic license at 9.90 euros per month. Without an account no project assignment can be stored.
3. Establish the Bluetooth link
Open the Devices menu in the app and tap “Search cube”. Keep the cube within two meters. The app reports “Connected” after twelve seconds. Without this link every later time record stays offline and must be entered manually.
4. Create projects inside the app
Switch to the Projects tab and add at least three entries such as “Client consulting”, “Accounting” and “Website maintenance”. Each entry needs its own color. Skip the color assignment and you later cannot tell which face belongs to which project.
5. Assign the cube faces
Tap “Configure faces”. Map each of the twelve sides to a project or a break. Save the configuration. Omit this step and the cube still turns but the app counts every side as “Miscellaneous”.
6. Run the first test session
Set the cube on the “Client consulting” face. The app starts recording immediately and shows elapsed time in real time. Leave the cube for fifteen minutes. Recorded time then appears in the daily log. Without this test you have no proof that the physical tracking works.
7. Sync data with existing software
Export the daily log as CSV and import it into your accounting software. TimeSpin offers the export button under the Basic license. Anyone who skips the export must re-enter the times by hand at month end.
8. Fix the most common failure point
The cube loses connection after roughly 48 hours without app contact. Schedule a short sync every evening by simply opening the app once. Miss this routine and entries are missing by the end of the week.
The TimeSpin cube connection cannot be scaled reliably once more than eight people record at the same time.
