Any similarities to this product my TimeLog, its equivalent for UIQ and Series 80, are entirely coincidental. The idea's identical, though. You define a number of projects (or customers, or however else you want to categorise and account for your time), and then toggle their timers off and on as required. Critically, like TimeLog, TimeTrack doesn't lose track of time even when the utility itself isn't running (using start/stop data stored on your internal disk) and after six months of intensive use the only complaint I've got is that there's no facility to attach short text notes to a project, reminding you of payment arrangements or time credit built up, for example.
New timers are easy to define and rename, simply pressing the navigator right on any slot brings up a standard dialog for adjusting everything, including the accumulated time. This last is handy for making small adjustments (when you've perhaps forgotten to toggle the timer). As with TimeLog, there's an optional logging facility, for later import into a spreadsheet when back on the desktop.
Although the trial version doesn't save all its data, you'll get the idea immediately and TimeTrack is so cheap (£3/$5) that anyone with a need for it won't hesitate to buy the full version.
