Time tracking
Employee time tracking software for small teams
Timers on tasks, weekly timesheets for each person and reports on hours by client and project, in the same workspace as your team's work.
Free plan, no card needed. Or book a demo.
Know what the team is working on
For a small team, time tracking is less about watching people and more about knowing where the week went: which clients took the most time, which projects ran over and who is overloaded.
startbuddi tracks time on tasks. Each person starts a timer or adds time by hand, and managers see the team's week, the billable hours and the workload for the week ahead.
What it is not
There are no screenshots, keystroke tracking or GPS. For shift clock-in and attendance, see leave and attendance in People.
