Timeglass follows the Basecamp task through the rest of the workday and prepares the finished time entry.

Put reliable hours behind every Basecamp task.

Project management tools keep tasks, owners, and deadlines organized. The hours often end up in a separate timer or a spreadsheet filled in from memory. Timeglass connects the plan to the real workday and drafts the record while the context is still clear.

Set up once, then keep using Basecamp.

Timeglass brings your tasks and your workday into the same record, while each person stays in control of what they approve.

Keep the Basecamp to-do in view

Continue organizing work with to-dos, projects, and message boards. Timeglass uses that client and project context as the work moves through the day.

Follow the work beyond the task

A simple to-do may include design, writing, email, and a client call. Timeglass captures those related parts and drafts one complete entry for the project.

Review the finished time entry

Timeglass drafts a clear entry with the project, description, and duration already filled in. The person who did the work can check it, make any changes, and approve it.

The task travels across more than one app.

A reliable time entry needs more than the minutes spent looking at one task page. Timeglass follows the related work across the apps your team already uses, then keeps the evidence together in one private daily record.

Nothing is shared until the person who did the work reviews it.

Put accurate hours behind every Basecamp project.

Once the hours are attached to the right work, project plans can be compared with what delivery actually required.

Agency delivery

Tie design, writing, review, and communication to the right client project before preparing invoices or status reports.

Retainer tracking

See how much of a monthly allowance has gone into requests, meetings, and revisions while there is time to reset expectations.

Async projects

Capture the quiet work between Basecamp updates so managers can understand delivery effort without adding more status meetings.

Useful from day oneYour first draft timesheet appears after a normal workday.

A few things teams ask first.

Do I need to add a timer to Basecamp?

No. Timeglass runs alongside Basecamp and drafts time from the workday. Your team can keep using the task setup they already have without adding another timer to every item.

Do I need to start and stop a timer for Basecamp work?

No. Timeglass records work in the background, so forgetting to start a timer does not create a blank space in the timesheet. Each person reviews the result before it is shared.

Can Timeglass track work that happens outside Basecamp?

Yes. Work that starts in Basecamp may continue in documents, meetings, messages, design files, code, or browser tabs. Timeglass includes that surrounding activity when it drafts the entry.

Can employees review their Basecamp time first?

Yes. Each person sees and approves their own drafted entries. They can change the project, description, or duration before the time is released to a manager.

Can I report on Basecamp project hours?

Yes. Approved time can be grouped by client, project, person, or activity so managers can compare actual effort with plans, budgets, and delivery targets.

Your Basecamp timesheet can write itself.

Give your team a normal workday and get an accurate project record at the end of it.
