Activities

See what your company’s time goes into.

Timeglass sorts every hour of work into categories you define, across every team, without anyone tagging their time. Know where the effort goes before you decide where to hire, what to prioritize and who to staff.

We didn't invent the time study. Until recently, the only way to learn how a team splits its time was to ask. People answered a survey from memory, in round numbers. Software could count which app was open, but an afternoon in Excel can be a client forecast or an expense report.

Timeglass reads what each minute of work was and files it under the categories you define. And no one's time is shared until they approve it.

Categories

Sorted by what the work was, not which app it was in.

Name a category and describe it in a sentence, the way you’d explain it to a new hire. Add subcategories underneath. Timeglass reads every activity against those definitions.

So the Globex forecast and the expense report go to different places, even though both were done in Excel. Anything unclear waits for review instead of being guessed.

Over time

See which work is growing, and since when.

Timeglass keeps the mix for every day. Read it by the week, the month or the quarter, and step back to earlier periods to compare.

At Acme, Admin moves around too much from day to day to notice. Week by week it climbs from 16% of the company’s time to 24%. By the end of the quarter it takes close to three more people’s worth of hours.

The same view works for one team, a department or your own time.

Setup

Build the categories your company already uses.

Write down the kinds of work your company does, with a line on what each one covers, and split any of them into subcategories described the same way.

Then set how each one counts: billable or not, and at what rate.

AI analysis

Ask about any number. Then keep asking.

Ask about your company’s time the way you’d ask a colleague. Follow up on a category, a team or a week until you reach the work behind it, then ask what to do about it.

Answers come from what each activity was, so they name the task behind a number and the teams doing it.

What our customers see in their first month.

“Timeglass shows me where my time actually goes, from board meetings to diligence to everything in between, and I never log a thing. I now recommend every company we back to use it. It's a game changer.”

Max Altman
Co-Founder & Managing Partner, Saga Ventures

“We'd tried every time tracker out there and the team dreaded all of them. Timeglass just writes the timesheets automatically, and the first thing it revealed was how much of our week was disappearing into meetings.”

Michael Flaxman
Co-Founder, Thumbtack

“I used to spend half my week nagging people to log hours, and still couldn't trust the data. Now I see exactly which clients make us money, and I haven't sent a single reminder since.”

Kevin Sword
Chief of Operations, TopFlight Insurance

“My consultants filled their timesheets in from memory, and I spent half my time reminding them to. Timeglass writes the entries as the work happens, so the reminders stopped and the numbers match what we actually did.”

Joshua Ruskin
Founder & CEO, Ruskin Consulting
