A non-invasive time tracking tool where you can accurately track employees’ activities, efficiently manage projects, users, and clients, generate invoices, and leverage KPIs to boost performances. It’s just the ideal solution for all remote and hybrid teams.
Employees lose several hours of tracked time every day just because they forget to start the timer. You no longer have to worry about that as our Highlights app automatically tracks time and starts right when your computer boots.
timegram groups activities into relevant app blocks to provide a crystal clear view of where and how employees spend their time.
Here’s what timegram does with the captured Highlights:
timegram’s Highlights app takes away the hassle of manual timesheets admin and makes time tracking simpler for you and your team.
timegram is based on the best aspects from the leading theories about how to peak employees’ productivity levels.
The Reinforcement Theory by Ivan Pavlov and B.F. Skinner suggests that rewarding employees for anything positive will keep them motivated to push themselves and perform even better the next time.
Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs by Abraham Maslow suggests that fulfilling employees’ 5 core needs will encourage them to be more productive. The 5 core needs you need to meet are:
Attribution Theory by Bernard Weiner focuses on 3 dimensions of employees:
timegram’s workflow allows you to benefit from the best principles of each productivity theory to help your team reach its full potential.
Businesses use different KPIs to gauge employee performances. You can use timegram to find out which metric works best for your team. Our tool comes in-built with reports around important productivity KPIs, such as:
Managing multiple projects with subtasks and sprints can become tedious and challenging for managers like you. Ideally, you should be able to manage everything from a single window, which is what timegram allows you to do.
With timegram, you can:
Our tool further makes project management simpler by providing you insights into each project and user performance by tapping into employee work patterns.
Employees work on multiple tasks within a day, which is why just tracking the total time at work is not enough to identify performance. You need the exact time employees spend on each task to determine their individual contribution to the business’s bottom line.
With timegram, you can easily see time spent against each activity, be it sending emails to clients, attending online meetings, or working on sprints – you get a bifurcated list of employee activities on your main dashboard.
You can view the progress on each project or task on timegram’s Projects dashboard, or tap into individual employee data through the Teams dashboard. The app’s graphical representation of hours worked further makes performance analysis easier for you.
Remote work comes with a set of barriers to productivity that can significantly plummet individual and team performances. A few common barriers are:
This includes all the external barriers to productivity like noise pollution, uncomfortable working environments, regular interruptions, and more. Such barriers can easily bring your team’s productivity down without them realizing it.
These productivity barriers are caused by the organization’s working space, policies, or processes. They include poor communication between teams, little to no work-life balance, seldom managerial feedback for employees, no recognition, and many more.
Internal productivity obstacles are referred to as the psychological barriers to productivity. They can be due to lack of self-esteem, inability to take on a challenge, low self-confidence, or procrastination. Most managers consider psychological productivity barriers as the biggest cause of productivity drops in their team.
We’ve designed timegram in a way that it not only identifies performance bottlenecks but also instills a sense of trust and accountability within your team. This, coupled with our detailed reporting and insights feature into employees’ daily activity and performance allows you to pinpoint and fix obstacles in productivity, especially for remote or hybrid teams.
Remote work reduces the likelihood of unnecessary leaves by 52%
Remote or hybrid employees are 24% happier than those working from physical workspaces
US companies can save $11,000/employee annually by allowing teams to work remotely
Remote teams are 47% more productive
You or your team cannot control external factors, which can sometimes lead to a decline in productivity levels. Common external barriers to productivity can include:
Workstations and their surroundings play a major role in your employees’ working habits. Anything from uneven temperature to constant distractions or an uncomfortable chair can eventually affect employees’ focus, which will reflect in their productivity reports.
Your team needs authority to an extent so they could efficiently carry out tasks without requiring multiple approvals from others. Depriving them of this will not only waste their time but also make simple processes unnecessarily long, which can significantly impact their outputs.
Your employees may be working on multiple tasks during the day, which can enhance productivity, given they’re using the right tools for management. Without them, they will have trouble tracking their progress, switching between tasks, logging the time spent on each task, and much more.
External barriers to productivity can be mitigated using timegram, which provides complete autonomy to employees, promotes trust and accountability within teams, and makes progress transparent so individuals can see where and how they’re allocating their time.
Our one-window, hassle-free, and privacy-first tool will keep your team motivated and help them beat the barriers to productivity.
Productivity barriers are often driven by internal obstacles like lack of support from the management. This problem becomes tenfold in case of remote teams due to a lack of proper feedback and poor communication between teams, which could lead to:
Your employees want to grow, and the best way to do that is to give them complete performance transparency. Knowing what they’re doing wrong and areas where they need to improve can help them build their confidence and perform better.
It’s important that your employees know how their work contributes to the overall goals of their company. Without this knowledge, they are quite likely to lose their drive to push themselves, which may eventually lead to quiet quitting.
Even the best of us can be distracted by social media or that one random YouTube video. This is where employees can lose focus and start missing crucial deadlines, which will impact their overall productivity.
timegram helps you overcome internal productivity barriers by creating a workflow that brings out the best in your employees. You can use the feature-rich dashboard with our desktop app to identify performance declines, monitor focus shifts throughout the day, and spot unproductive activities.
timegram brings you an automated time tracker so your team doesn’t have to start and stop the timer the next time they sit down to work. That’s one less distraction while using timegram.
Our desktop time tracker, a.k.a. the Highlights app captures employees’ activities throughout the day and groups them into relevant app blocks. Your employees can then check them and log the relevant Highlights into specific tasks.

I bought this yesterday and I started to test it out. Processing my hours is a breeze with this tool, just do your work and at the end (or the next day) you can say which time is for which project / client.
timegram is a tracking powerhouse - it really does track everything! Super easy to use too. But, I am hoping for a bit more customization. Like, adding a tracking time filter or a website/software blacklist/whitelist would be amazing.
After quite a few days of use I found timegram is a game-changer for freelancers and agencies looking to master project estimations. With its powerful analytics, tracking time has never been easier. The setup is a breeze – no fuss, just download the app, and it effortlessly starts tracking everything. The UI is aesthetically pleasing, and everything is incredibly user-friendly. Support team is very efficient and friendly. Just knock them in case of any need and they will jump to your aid. Definitely recommended.
