For companies that track time by project

Know what every
project earned.

TrueClock pairs what you bill against what your staff time actually costs — and shows profit and margin for every client and project. Fixed fee or hourly, set per project.

Project profitability

Revenue, cost, profit, and margin. Per project.

Most time trackers stop at billable hours. TrueClock subtracts what those hours cost you — using the cost rates you set for each person — so you see the profit and margin behind every client and project, not just the revenue in front of them.

  • Bill fixed fee or hourly — chosen per project, mixed freely across your book of work
  • Cost rates set per person, for salaried, hourly, and contractor staff
  • Profit and margin by client, project, and team member
  • Budget alerts before a project goes over — not after

A margin number is only useful if you can trust it.

Every hour passes through four gates before it reaches a profitability report. That's why the number at the end is one you can act on.

Gate 1

Logged

Staff log hours against a client and project — daily, weekly, or with a running timer. Fast enough that people actually do it.

Gate 2

AI-reviewed

Submitted timesheets are read by an AI layer that flags unusual entries — thin descriptions, budget overshoots, overtime spikes — so reviewers see the exceptions, not everything.

Gate 3

Approved

A manager reviews and approves each period. Clean records approve in one click. Flagged entries get a human decision, with a full audit trail.

Gate 4

Locked

When the period closes, approved time locks. Nothing changes after the fact, so the numbers in your reports stay the numbers.

AI review is on from day one — you tune its sensitivity to your firm, and a person always makes the final call.

Everything around the numbers

The day-to-day tools that keep hours flowing in and reports flowing out — included for every seat.

Time entry people actually do

Daily grids, weekly views, and running timers. Automated reminders chase the timesheets so managers don't have to.

Report builder

Combine clients, staff, projects, dates, and billing status into exactly the view you need. Save it, revisit it, export to CSV.

Ask for a report in plain English

“Which clients are over budget this quarter?” The AI assistant builds the filters and pulls the answer — no configuration.

Budgets with live burn

Set a budget per project and watch actuals burn against it in real time, with alerts before the line is crossed.

Roles and rates

Role-based access with billing and cost rates per person. Partners see everything; staff see what they need.

Export approved time

Push approved, locked time out to payroll and reporting — including straight into Google Sheets.

One price. Nothing gated.

$7.99 per user / month
