timelink

Time tracking software with an optional physical touch panel for your desk.

Visit timelink

timelink is a time recording tool that combines an app with a small USB touch display, the timelink Panel, so users can start, pause and stop tracking directly from their desk. Entries are organized across three levels — customer, project and activity — with optional free-text notes, helping users capture short tasks and interruptions that might otherwise go unrecorded.

The Panel offers start-pause-stop control, quick selection of recent entries, and logging of interruptions such as calls or emails. The app provides real-time analytics, system notifications reminding users to track, team usage, and an API with integrations. Recorded times can be passed to third-party working-time software, though timelink itself does not handle legal working-time requirements, sickness days or vacation planning. The Panel connects via USB with plug-and-play operation and no driver installation.

timelink is aimed at individuals, teams, agencies and companies. The app is offered on a per-user, per-month subscription, cancellable monthly, with a 30-day free trial. The Panel is a one-time purchase with a 30-day money-back guarantee. For organizations with 10 or more users, timelink Enterprise provides individual consultation and integration support, with pricing available on request.
