Automatic time tracking that figures out which client you're working on — without timers, manual logs, or end-of-week guessing.

Built for finance, accounting & consulting teams
The problem
Most consulting teams lose 4–6 hours per person per week reconstructing what they did, then bill conservatively because they're not sure. HourBeat removes the guesswork.
Features
Install once, then forget it exists. Captures app, window title and URL every 5 seconds — no timers, no manual start/stop.
Detects clients from Zoho Org IDs, GreytHR subdomains, browser tab titles, file names and trade-name aliases. You add a rule once — every past log is reclassified.
Team leaderboard with deep-work streaks, billable ratios, hours logged and consistency. Per-member detail with a 7-day trend sparkline.
Add a new client mapping and reclassify all of last month's "Unassigned" logs in one click. No manual hunt-and-tag.
Review every captured event in a clean table. Bulk-reassign clients or categories, edit inline with a popover, search and filter.
Never reads document contents. Never takes screenshots. Captures only app name, window title and URL — the same metadata you already see in your dock.
How it works
Download for Mac (Intel + Apple Silicon via Rosetta) or Windows. Lives in your menu bar; no dock icon, no popups.
The agent captures activity every 5 seconds and uploads in batches. Idle detection pauses tracking when you step away.
Sign in to see your day, week, or month — broken down by client, category and billable status. Managers get team views with leaderboards.
