How Design agencies use Temporal.ist
Per-client utilization
See which clients are eating the team's week before the retainer overruns, not after. Per-designer roll-ups by project.
Visual progress trail for clients
Clients who ask 'what did you do this week?' get an honest per-session list — without you writing a status update.
Hand-off invoicing
When a fixed-fee project closes, generate the final invoice from tracked time + flat fee. Includes hours-over-cap as a separate line.
- Tab-time on figma.com counts. So does time editing a .sketch or .psd file on disk.
- Per-client utilization roll-ups across the team — without making designers fill in timesheets.
- Invoicing handles fixed-fee + hours overflow on the same line item.
Design work happens in Figma, Slack, and 10 calls a week. Manual timers don't survive that context-switch density. Temporal.ist tracks what designers actually do.
Built for design agencies
Your studio bills retainers and sometimes overruns. The overruns are the painful number — except no one logs them, because design is too fluid to start a timer for. Temporal.ist captures the Figma tab time, the local-file edits, and the meeting calendar overlay so you can see retainer burn in real time, not at month-end.
Pricing for design agencies
Free during early access. Team pricing will be published before we charge — and will be friendlier than per-seat enterprise pricing for studios under 20 people.
