This is a magnificent product. For me, as a team manager, it's so easy to onboard new employees because it's really easy to learn. It's pretty much like a calendar, which many can associate with, so they don't have to learn new ways to do things. The Timebank is so good looking, and I get a really good view of overtime, leave, and time off. Busy has found a unique and magnificent way to track hours, and I really recommend giving it a try.

Hi Product Hunters 👋 We're thrilled to finally share Busy with you guys! When building Busy, we had two goals in mind: 1. Make time tracking a more visual and intuitive process. 2. Automate overtime calculation, vacation, and leave management for companies. We started looking at how time is best visualized. Historically, time is often presented on a horizontal timeline, taking you from A to B - making it easy to pin events. With this in mind, we took a familiar interface, the calendar, rotated in 90 degrees, and ended up with the timeline. After creating an interface for visual and intuitive time tracking, we wanted to build something that gave our users actionable insights. Therefore, we developed a system that automatically calculates overtime, compensatory time off, and leave. The system takes into account holidays, employees' working hours, and the company's internal routines. We call it «Timebank». In short, we want you and your business to use less time tracking and managing time, thereby giving you more time for work that matters. We'd love to hear what you think! 😁

This is a great product! Busy is the only time tracking tool our team actually wants to use. It's easy and intuitive to use, and it makes sure you always have the necessary transparency and traceability.

Good idea, guys. I'd consider changing your tagline though. It took me 1-2 seconds to understand what you meant by "Use less time tracking time". I'm not even sure if this is 100% correct or if it sounds natural to a native speaker. Taglines like this should be snappy and straight to the point. I'd avoid clever headlines and just go for "Spend less time tracking time", or something similar, even if that sounds more banal. Also, think about emotional benefits. Saving time is a functional benefit, but why is this important? Maybe it's not about saving time, maybe it's about getting rid of a hassle? I'd think about it. ;) My 2 cents, hope it helps!

@nunosbpereira thank you for some great feedback 🙌🏻 We've been changing back and forth between «Use» and «Spend» for a long time. We'll make the change and see if it sticks. 😉

@klaffy quick tip on this... google "spend less time" and "use less time". See what's more idiomatic and in what circumstances these expressions are used. That might help. Don't forget to use the quote marks when searching.

?makers This looks great. I was looking for the API options to integrate but couldn’t find any information about this.
Even Dalen
@martijn_snels Thanks! 😃 An open API is in planning/early development. The plan is to release the API during the summer. For now you can export the raw data on the reports page if you need to further process the data!

@grahampark we made the logo a couple of years ago and had not seen that logo before 😅 Well, another day, another surprise 😄
