Automatic time tracking that turns every client hour into a billable, reportable entry — no timers to start or forget.
Customer story

Cristina Larrondobuno
LRR Design Agency
So the hours you bill, staff and price from are mostly guesses.
Accurate timesheets without timers, surveillance or training.

Rize builds the timesheet from the apps, docs, meetings and calendar events people actually worked on, and tags each hour to the right client and project. Your team reviews it instead of writing it.

By default Rize reads only the app name, window title and URL, and each person reviews their own time before the team sees it. No micromanagement, no surveillance.

Rize connects to your existing workflow — no migration, no disruption.
Once every hour is tracked, the reports build themselves.

Surveillance tools monitor employees with screenshots, keylogging, and webcam access. Rize does none of that. Rize is automatic time tracking that teams choose to adopt — employees control their own data, review their entries before sharing, and can edit or delete any tracked time.
Yes. Each person sees their own data first and approves what's shared. Only time tagged to a client or team project is visible to the admin — personal browsing and non-work activity is never shared.
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.
No. Rize (rize.io) is automatic time tracking software for agencies and professional-services teams. It is not related to the Rise or Ryze apps.
