Time tracking software for IT and software teams

Engineering output has never been measurable by hours, and anyone selling you developer productivity scores is selling you a problem. What is measurable, and genuinely useful, is how much uninterrupted focus time a team gets and how much of the week meetings consume.

The problem

What usually goes wrong

If none of these sound familiar, you probably do not need this product — and we would rather say that than sell you one.

Focus time gets eaten

A day cut into six fragments by meetings is not a productive day, but nobody can prove it at planning time.

Capacity planning is fiction

Sprints are planned on notional eight-hour days that never existed once support and meetings are subtracted.

Support load is invisible

Interrupt work absorbs real capacity and appears in no plan, so estimates miss for reasons nobody can name.

The outcome

What changes once you can see the day

Not "productivity goes up" — that is a claim nobody can substantiate. These are the specific things teams like yours report being able to do that they could not before.

  • Real available focus hours per sprint
  • Meeting load quantified per team
  • Support and interrupt work made visible
  • Estimates grounded in actual capacity

Illustrative: uninterrupted focus time, which is measurable — unlike developer productivity, which is not.
We were planning on eight-hour days. The data said four and a half hours of focus time. Our estimates stopped missing after that.

Questions we get from teams like yours

Are you going to rank our developers?

No, and we would push back if you asked us to help. Activity is not output. We report team-level capacity and focus patterns; individual comparison is the wrong use of this data and a reliable way to lose engineers.

Does it integrate with Jira?

Yes — time can be attributed to Jira issues, and the integration links tracked activity to the tickets and boards you already run.

Will it slow down developer machines?

The agent is lightweight, typically under one percent CPU and around 60MB of memory, and does not hook into compilers, containers or debuggers.
