Automatic time tracking that shows which clients make you money.

For agencies on retainers and fixed fees, the measure that matters is burn vs plan. Rize tracks your team's time in the background and shows monthly burn by client and department, so you catch over-servicing before the retainer is gone — no timers, no timesheets. See how agencies use Rize →

Rize compares monthly hours worked against each retainer's plan, by client and department. Burn reports flag accounts trending over their retainer mid-month, so teams rebalance or renegotiate before the fee is consumed. How agencies track retainer burn →

Rize multiplies actual hours per client by each staff member's loaded cost rate and compares it to the fixed fee — margin = (fee - delivery cost) / fee. Because hours are captured automatically, the delivery cost is real rather than timesheet-reconstructed. Client profitability for flat-fee firms →

Surveillance tools monitor employees with screenshots, keylogging, and webcam access. Rize does none of that. Rize is a productivity tool that individuals and teams choose to use — employees control their own data, review their entries before sharing, and can edit or delete any tracked time.

Harvest, Toggl and Clockify all depend on someone starting a timer or filling in a timesheet. Rize has no timer — it tracks work in the background and drafts the timesheet automatically, so the data is complete even when the team forgets to log anything. Compare Rize with other time trackers →

Rize has native integrations with ClickUp, Asana and Linear that map tracked time to your clients and projects, plus Google Calendar and Outlook for meetings and Slack for notifications.

Rize is a desktop app for macOS and Windows — desktop-focused by design. Most knowledge work happens on a computer, and tracking desktop activity directly is what allows Rize to automatically categorize your time with high accuracy. A mobile or browser-only tracker cannot capture the same level of work context.

Yes. Rize captures time on research, drafting and client communication by matter — automatically, with no end-of-day reconstruction. See how law firms use Rize →
