Stop guesstimating your work. Worktrace solves the "Friday Afternoon Problem" by automatically reconstructing your professional timeline from tool metadata you already use. No manual timers or intrusive monitoring. Privacy-first: Captures metadata, never screen content. Integrates with GitHub, Jira, Azure DevOps, Bitbucket & Google Calendar/Drive. Human-in-the-loop: You approve suggestions before logging. Generate defensible, one-click reports for standups, retros, and client billing.

Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I’m the founder of Worktrace.io, and I’m thrilled to share what we’ve been building. What inspired you to build this? The inspiration came from my own "Friday Afternoon Problem"—that universal feeling of dread when you have to fill out a timesheet or prepare for a sprint retrospective and realize you have no memory of what you actually did on Tuesday morning. I tried manual stopwatches, but the friction of starting and stopping them always broke my deep-work flow. I also looked at automated trackers, but most used invasive surveillance like randomized screenshots, which felt toxic for professional environments. What problem were you trying to solve? We wanted to eliminate the administrative "tax" on professional work without compromising privacy. Worktrace.io solves this through Passive Reconstruction. Instead of monitoring your screen or keystrokes, it establishes secure API links to your toolstack—GitHub, Jira, Azure DevOps, Bitbucket, and Google Drive—to harvest metadata. It reconstructs a daily timeline based on real event evidence, like moving a Jira ticket to "Done" or opening a Pull Request, which helps teams and freelancers recover the 10-15% of billable time often lost to manual logging errors. How did your approach or process evolve while working on this launch? Our approach shifted significantly from "pure automation" to "Human-In-The-Loop." Early feedback taught us that professionals don't want a tool that logs things behind their backs; they want a tool that remembers for them but trusts them to be the final authority. This led us to build a workflow where the tool makes suggestions, and the user simply reviews and approves them. We also realized how fragmented the dev ecosystem is, which pushed us to expand our integrations to include Azure DevOps and Bitbucket much earlier than we originally planned. We’re here all day to answer your questions and would love your "roast" of our MVP!

For a limited time only, every Worktrace plan is completely free for all users.

That includes full access to integrations like GitHub, Jira, and Microsoft Calendar, plus PDF reports, weekly digests, and extended history. No timers, no manual logging, and no access to your actual content. Just metadata, turned into a daily work log you review and approve.

If reconstructing your week for standups or client billing sounds familiar, this is your window.

Free early adopter access is live now at worktrace.io.

Ever send an invoice and hope nobody asks what one of those hours actually covered?

Worktrace keeps the receipts for you. It quietly builds a daily work log from the tools you already use, calendar events, tickets, commits, so every hour you bill has something real behind it. No timers to start, no manual notes to keep.

You review it, you edit it, you send it. Free at worktrace.io.

That project ran long. Everyone agrees on that part. Nobody agrees on why.

Worktrace builds a daily timeline from the tools you already use, calendar, GitHub, Jira, Drive, so when a project overruns you can actually trace where the extra days went instead of piecing it together from memory in the retro.

Free at worktrace.io.

The invoice matches the work because the work wrote the invoice.

If you bill by the hour, you know the pain of trying to reconstruct a week after the fact so the numbers hold up. Worktrace traces activity across your calendar, GitHub, and Jira into a daily log automatically, no timers, no manual notes, no one reading your messages or code.

Review it, edit it, send an invoice you can actually stand behind.
