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

Put reliable hours behind every Productive 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 Productive.

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

Keep the Productive task attached

Continue managing services, budgets, tasks, and resourcing in Productive. Timeglass keeps the client and project context close while the team completes delivery.

Follow the work beyond the task

A retainer review can span Google Sheets, a presentation, Figma comments, email, and a client call. Timeglass assembles that work before drafting the entry.

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 Productive project.

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

Agency profitability

Compare the full time behind each service and deliverable with project fees, internal costs, and the remaining budget.

Budget pacing

See how quickly a retainer or fixed-fee project is using its hours before the team reaches the end of the month.

Team workload

Separate client delivery, sales support, internal work, and meetings before assigning the next project to a busy specialist.

Start tracking Productive 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 Productive 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 Productive?

No. Timeglass runs alongside Productive 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 Productive 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 Productive?

Yes. Work that starts in Productive 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 Productive 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 Productive 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 Productive timesheet can write itself.

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