Time Tracking for Creative Agencies

Automatic time tracking built for creative teams. Rize works quietly alongside Figma, Adobe, and your design tools — no timers interrupting the creative flow.

Rize is an automatic time tracker that captures every minute of creative work — across Figma, Adobe, Slack, and client calls — without timers interrupting flow. Designers move between tools dozens of times a day, and Rize categorizes all of it so your team stays in flow and you still get accurate billable data.

Key differences

What makes Rize different

Frequently Asked Questions

Rize is built for design teams that work across Figma, Adobe Creative Suite, and other visual tools. It tracks time automatically in the background — no timers to break creative flow — and categorizes hours by client and project.

Yes. Rize automatically detects when you are working in Figma and logs that time to the correct project. It also tracks Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, After Effects, and other creative tools without any manual input.

No. Rize runs silently in the background with no pop-ups, no timers to manage, and no check-ins. Your designers work exactly as they do now — Rize handles the time tracking.

Yes. Rize automatically tracks hours by client and project. Combined with your rate data, you get real-time profitability dashboards that show which clients are profitable and which are not.

Industry benchmarks put healthy utilization at 65-75% for creative teams. Below 60% usually means capacity is underused; above 80% risks burnout. Rize tracks utilization automatically so you can see where your team falls without relying on self-reported timesheets.

Rize tracks every app switch and categorizes time in real-time. When a designer jumps from Figma to Slack to a client call and back, each segment is captured and assigned to the right project automatically.

For agencies that want accurate data without timesheet compliance issues, yes. Harvest requires manual entry at $11/seat/month. Rize captures everything automatically, which means less admin for creatives and more accurate billing for the agency.

No. Rize never takes screenshots, records keystrokes, or captures screen content. It only reads which application is in the foreground — Figma, Photoshop, Slack, etc. — to categorize time. Designers keep full privacy while the agency gets accurate billable data.

Yes. Rize has native desktop apps for both macOS and Windows. Most creative agencies run mixed environments and Rize works across both. Time data syncs to a web dashboard for managers to review from any device.
