Time tracking without the fussTimesheets

Timer on every task

Start and stop from the task or the list. Forgotten timers stop at the end of the day.

Quick entries

Type "2.5h payment integration" and it lands on the right task.

Billable or internal

Set defaults per project. Internal work never slips onto a client invoice.

Client rates

Rates by client, project or role. Totals calculated as you go.

Approvals

Managers approve weeks; approved time is locked for billing.

Exports

Export by client and date range to CSV or Excel for your billing tool.

How it worksFour steps

Switch on

Turn on Timesheets for the teams that bill time.

Log

Use the timer or add hours at the end of the day.

Approve

Managers review and lock the week.

Bill

Export hours by client for invoicing.

The full storyTimesheets

Time tracking is your team’s choice. No screenshots, no keystroke tracking, ever.

Timesheets are optional and switched on per team. Product teams that do not bill often leave them off; agencies and services firms turn them on for client work.

Hours sit on tasks, so you can compare estimates to actuals per project and see which kinds of work run over. That feeds better estimates in the next proposal.

Techdrools does not watch people work. There are no screenshots, no keystroke counts and no idle detection. Time is what people log.
