Integration

Rize + Figma

Figma time tracking via Zapier — Rize automatically captures every design hour across Figma, FigJam, browsers, and communication tools. See exactly how long design projects take without manual timesheets.

The problem

Why Figma alone isn't enough

Figma is a design tool, not a time tracker. Designers working in Figma have no built-in way to log hours against projects or clients. Most design teams track time manually — opening a separate app, starting a timer, remembering to stop it when they switch contexts. In practice, the timer gets forgotten after the first Slack message.

Design work is especially hard to track manually because context switches are constant. A designer might spend 20 minutes in Figma, switch to Slack for feedback, open Chrome to check a reference, hop to FigJam for a brainstorm, then back to Figma. A manual timer captures one of those activities. Rize captures all of them.

Rize tracks time automatically in the background across every application — Figma, FigJam, Slack, Chrome, email, meetings. AI categorizes hours by client and project, then syncs accurate time data to your invoicing tool or project management platform via Zapier. Your design team gets accurate billable hours without anyone touching a timer.

Key benefits

What you get with Rize

Capture every design hour automatically

Rize tracks time across Figma, FigJam, Slack, Chrome, and every other tool designers use. No timers to start, no apps to switch to, no end-of-day reconstruction. Design hours appear automatically, categorized by project.

Accurate billing for client design work

Stop estimating how long a design project took. Rize captures the full picture — Figma work, reference research, Slack feedback loops, client calls — so your invoices reflect actual work performed.

Better project scoping with real data

Compare actual design hours against estimates across different project types. Over time, your team builds a data-driven understanding of how long brand projects, UI redesigns, and ad campaigns really take.

No disruption to the creative process

Rize runs silently in the background. Designers stay in their flow — no timer interruptions, no context switches to a time tracking app, no weekly timesheet submissions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Rize is the best time tracking tool for Figma because it captures design time automatically across all tools — not just Figma. Unlike Toggl or Harvest, which require starting and stopping timers, Rize runs in the background and tracks time across Figma, FigJam, Slack, Chrome, and every other app designers use.

Yes. Rize captures time across all your design tools and categorizes hours by client and project using AI. Billable hours sync to your invoicing tool via Zapier — no manual time entry required.

Rize detects when Figma or FigJam is your active application and logs that time automatically. It also captures time in related tools — Slack discussions about designs, Chrome reference research, client meetings about the project — giving you the complete picture of design hours.

Yes. Rize tracks time in FigJam the same way it tracks Figma — automatically in the background. Brainstorming sessions, user journey mapping, and collaborative workshops all get captured and categorized.

No. Rize never takes screenshots, records screen content, or captures any visual information from Figma or any other app. It only reads which application is in the foreground to categorize your time. Your designs stay private.

Rize connects to Figma via Zapier. Time entries tracked automatically by Rize can trigger Zaps that update your project management tool, invoicing platform, or spreadsheet. Setup takes about 5 minutes.
