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.
Worktrace builds your daily work log automatically from the tools you already use. No timers, no manual entry, no end of week guessing. You review every entry, edit what needs fixing, and confirm before it is final.
Worktrace quietly builds your daily work log from the tools you already use, no timers, no manual entry, no reading your messages or code. Just the metadata that shows what you actually worked on. When it is time to submit, the whole job is: review, edit, confirm.

Worktrace builds your daily work log from things that actually happened: calendar events, commits, ticket updates. Every entry comes with its receipts, so you are never reconstructing a week from memory again.
You review it, edit it, confirm it. That is the whole job.

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!
