Ever walked into a performance review and blanked on half the work you did?

Reviews reward the people with receipts. Worktrace keeps yours automatically, turning your commits, tickets, meetings, and doc activity into a clean daily work log. No timers, no manual entry, and it reads only metadata, never your code or messages.
When review season hits, your evidence is already written.

Ever freeze when someone asks what you have been working on?

The work is real, the record just lives in five different tools. Worktrace pulls your commits, tickets, meetings, and doc activity into one clean daily log, automatically. No timers, no manual entry, and it reads only metadata, never your code or messages.

Next time the question comes, the answer is: here, all of it.

How much of your morning goes to remembering yesterday?

Engineers lose real time before every standup, digging through Jira, GitHub, and calendars to reconstruct work they already did. Worktrace does the digging for you. It traces activity metadata across your existing tools and assembles a clean daily log you can review and edit. No timers, no manual entry, and it never reads your code or messages.

Walk into standup with your update already written.
