Daily task estimates in Toggl 2.0
Daily task estimates let you assign task effort across specific days instead of a single total, useful for work spread unevenly over time or teams wanting day-by-day planning. The total estimate updates automatically as daily allocations change, and appears on the task and in reporting.
Daily estimates let you plan task effort by assigning hours across specific days instead of using only one total estimate. This is useful when work is spread unevenly over time or when teams want more precise day-by-day planning.

How to set up daily estimates
