What Is the Best Automatic Time Tracking Software for Teams?

Rize is built specifically for teams that bill by the hour and cannot afford inaccurate time data. Unlike timer-based tools that require constant discipline, Rize runs in the background on macOS and Windows and captures every work session automatically — no timers to start, no timesheets to fill, no screenshots taken.

Time is categorized by client and project using machine learning, giving managers real-time visibility into billable hours, project profitability, and team utilization without surveillance. Setup takes under five minutes, and the average team recovers more than 20% in billable time they were previously missing.

How it works

Three steps to accurate billable hours

01

Install on your team's machines

Each team member downloads Rize on Mac or Windows. Setup takes under five minutes. No IT configuration needed.

02

AI attributes time to clients

Rize learns which apps, documents, and Slack channels belong to which clients. Billable hours are tagged automatically — no timers, no manual entry.

03

See profitability in real time

View billable hours by client and project, track margins against retainers, and export data for invoicing. Your team never fills out a timesheet again.

The hidden cost

Your team loses $9,375 per person per year in unbilled time

At $150/hr, losing just 1.25 hours per day to untracked work costs $9,375 per person per year. For a 10-person team, that is $93,750 walking out the door annually — revenue your team earned but never billed.

The culprit is not laziness. It is context switching. Designers dart between Figma, Slack, and email dozens of times per day. Consultants jump between client calls, research, and documentation. Every untracked 5-minute task compounds into hours of lost billable work per week.

Rize captures all of it — automatically, in the background, without asking anyone to change how they work.

We use Rize to know: 'We spent 30 hours on this client and got this result.' That's powerful when you're working lean and launching quickly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Rize runs silently on your desktop and reads which app or document is in the foreground. It uses AI to match each work session to the correct client and project, creating billable time entries without anyone starting a timer. The result is a complete, accurate timesheet generated from actual work activity.

Industry studies show agencies lose 15-40% of billable hours to forgotten timers, unlogged context switches, and end-of-day estimation. At $150/hr, a 10-person team loses $93,750 or more per year. Rize captures every minute automatically, recovering revenue that manual tracking misses.

Yes. Rize automatically attributes time to clients and projects based on the apps, documents, and websites you use. It learns your patterns — which Slack channels belong to which clients, which Figma files map to which projects — and tags entries accordingly.

Harvest and Toggl require manual timer starts and stops. Your team has to remember to track every task, every context switch, every quick Slack reply. Rize tracks automatically in the background — no behavior change required. Agencies using Rize recover 20% more billable time because nothing gets forgotten.

Yes. Rize shows real-time profit margins per client and project by comparing tracked billable hours against team costs and retainer values. You see which clients are profitable and which are consuming disproportionate time before the invoice goes out.

Team members see their own time entries and can review, edit, or approve them. Only admins see team-wide billable data, utilization rates, and client profitability dashboards. Employees control what is shared.

No. Rize never captures screenshots, records screen content, or logs keystrokes. It only reads window metadata — app name, window title, and URL — to categorize time. It is a productivity tool, not surveillance software.

Rize integrates with ClickUp, Asana, Linear, Jira, Monday.com, Notion, Google Calendar, and 6,000+ apps via Zapier. Time data flows into your existing project management and invoicing workflows automatically.
