| Hi guys i would like to know how long it took me from first to last scan of a session. Inside the editor there is no timestamp (only the main date/time) and checking the raw data is useless because every file is created at the moment the compressed file is created. Do you know if there is some way? Of course i can bring a stopwatch but i would like to see that on my old projects. Thank you very much p.s. the MP support has been quite useless, like often happens, unfortunately. |

| Hi @RMB3DVR I’m not aware of any way of interrogating the system retrospectively. My method is to send myself a WhatsApp message at the start and finish which are time-stamped. I do the same for breaks, and any enforced stoppages, noting what the break relates to. The data is useful for planning and costing once you aggregate the information. Oliver |

| @RMB3DVR I've done a LOT of scans and haven't seen any timestamps like that. just curious, what's the use case? I typically do what @Gladsmuir said, and keep a record via notes or text message to myself if I need to know timing for anything but rarely do I need that information. email support and in the subject line put Feature Request: show timestamps of scans. that may get someones attention.

| I’ve been struggling with the same thing: Matterport doesn’t show session duration. At least you can now see the scanpoint, camera and date. What does work well in practice is using a very simple time tracking app on the same device you scan with, and building the habit of “one tap when you start scanning, one tap when you finish.“ There are a few options that are worth looking at: • Clockify – Cross‑platform time tracking with projects and clients (iOS, iPadOS, Android, macOS, Windows, web): https://clockify.me You can create a project like “Matterport Scan” (or one per client) and just start/stop a timer when you begin and end a scan. The reports make it easy to see exactly how long you were on‑site and to export that for invoicing. • TimeTrack – Time tracking – Native iPhone/iPad app with cloud sync and optional Mac/Web access: https://apps.apple.com/app/timetrack-time-tracking/id905723113 Very quick to use in the field, even offline. • WorkingHours – Cross‑platform time tracking for iOS, iPadOS, macOS and Windows, sync via iCloud/OneDrive/Dropbox: https://workinghoursapp.com Simple timers and widgets, and for recurring locations you can even use its optional location‑based automation (start/stop when you arrive/leave a specific address). For most scanning jobs, though, the “one tap at start and end” workflow is already enough. |
