Timeglass follows the Microsoft Project Desktop task through the rest of the workday and prepares the finished time entry.

Put reliable hours behind every Microsoft Project Desktop 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 Microsoft Project Desktop.

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

Start with the desktop schedule

Keep the work breakdown structure, dependencies, and resource assignments in Microsoft Project. Timeglass uses the active schedule context while the team completes the work.

Follow the work beyond the task

Scheduled work often continues in Excel models, technical drawings, Teams meetings, and Outlook threads. Timeglass brings those activities into one entry for review.

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.

Connect workshops, analysis, documentation, and stakeholder meetings to the task structure used for delivery reporting.

Resource schedules

Use completed work to see where specialist capacity is going before changing assignments or moving a milestone.

Start tracking Microsoft Project Desktop 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 Microsoft Project Desktop 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 Microsoft Project Desktop?

No. Timeglass runs alongside Microsoft Project Desktop 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 Microsoft Project Desktop 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 Microsoft Project Desktop?

Yes. Work that starts in Microsoft Project Desktop 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 Microsoft Project Desktop 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 Microsoft Project Desktop 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 Microsoft Project Desktop timesheet can write itself.

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