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

Put reliable hours behind every GitHub Projects 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 GitHub Projects.

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

Keep the project item attached

Continue organizing issues and pull requests with GitHub Projects. Timeglass keeps the item and repository context near the workday entry.

Follow the work beyond the task

Engineering time moves through the editor, test runner, pull request, Actions logs, and team discussion. Timeglass assembles those activities into one reviewable record.

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 GitHub Projects project.

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

Feature delivery

See the hours behind an issue from planning through code review and release using the project board the team already updates.

Client engineering

Attach implementation, review, and technical communication to the right customer project before preparing a bill or status report.

Repository maintenance

Measure upgrades, dependency work, build fixes, and recurring maintenance alongside planned product work.

Start tracking GitHub Projects work this week.

Create a Timeglass workspace, add the desktop app, and invite your team. Timeglass starts drafting entries from the workday and keeps the GitHub Projects task context attached.

One short setupInstall the desktop app and choose your work hours.
Private by defaultPeople see and review their own activity first.
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 GitHub Projects?

No. Timeglass runs alongside GitHub Projects 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 GitHub Projects 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 GitHub Projects?

Yes. Work that starts in GitHub Projects 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 GitHub Projects 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 GitHub Projects 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 GitHub Projects timesheet can write itself.

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