For firms of 5 to 50

The time tracker for people who don’t want a time tracker.

Most timesheet tools are built for people who enjoy tools. In a 30-person firm, nobody is. Clockwell keeps the hours and the time off, and gets out of the way.

No screenshots, no idle detection, no activity scores. Ever.

What it does

Four things, done properly.

Every screen is judged the same way: can someone who has never seen it finish and leave. That is the whole product brief.

Your week

A grid of five days and the projects you are on. Type the hours, press Tab, done. Under 30 seconds for a full week, without reaching for the mouse.

Time off

Ask for days, see what is left, get an answer. Balances update themselves, so nobody maintains the spreadsheet that everybody distrusts.

Who’s away

One timeline of the whole team, next week and the week after. The question gets asked in every stand-up; this answers it before it is asked.

Reports

Hours by person, project or client, for whatever range you need, as a file you can send. The people who need the numbers stop asking you for them.

Where we stand

A time tracker sits one inch from surveillance software.

Everyone filling in a timesheet knows it. So Clockwell is built on the side of the person doing the filling in, and these are not settings you can turn on.

  • No screenshotsNothing captures the screen. There is no gallery of anyone’s desktop.
  • No idle detectionThinking, reading and a phone call are work. The app does not disagree.
  • No keystroke loggingClockwell records hours against projects. That is the entire record.
  • No activity scoresNo one is ranked by a number a piece of software invented.
How it works

Set up on a Monday, forgotten about by Friday.

Add your clients and projects

Whoever runs the place lists the work and who is on it. Ten minutes, once, and it is the only setup there is.

Everyone fills in their week

One screen, five columns, a running total. If Tuesday is empty on Friday morning, Clockwell says so — once, quietly, by email.

Take the numbers out

Hours by person, project or client, exported when you need to invoice, or plan, or answer a question about last March.

“A record held properly on someone’s behalf — the way a firm keeps books, or a keeper keeps a gate.”
What we mean by kept
Coming soon

Clockwell isn’t open for sign-ups yet.

It is in daily use inside the firm that built it, and opening to everyone else is the next thing on the list. There is nothing to sign up to today, so we are not going to put a box here pretending otherwise.

Time, well kept.
