How Dev agencies use Temporal.ist

  • Real utilization rates

    Stop guessing at 75% utilization. Per-dev hours on billable projects vs internal/admin time, weekly.

  • Project profitability

    Per-project hours × per-dev rate vs project budget. Profitability surfaces before the project closes.

  • Client-ready monthly reports

    PDF or CSV per project for monthly client review — generated from tracked time, not retyped from memory.

  • Per-developer per-client utilization without a daily standup question about timesheets.
  • Tracks file edits across watched repos plus PR/Linear/Jira tab time via browser extensions.
  • Roll-ups by team, project, and client; export for monthly billing.

Dev shops live or die by utilization rates. Manual timesheets are the worst part of every dev's week — and the data is rarely accurate. Temporal.ist makes it ambient.

Built for dev agencies

You run a small dev shop. Friday afternoons are timesheet collection, plus Saturday catch-up because someone always forgets. The numbers are 80% guesses. Temporal.ist removes the timesheet ritual: every dev has the desktop client and the browser extension; sessions land in the right project automatically because watched paths map to clients.

Pricing for dev agencies

Free during early access. Team plans for shops under 20 people will not carry enterprise per-seat pricing.

Questions

Can a dev be on multiple clients in a day?

Yes — sessions switch automatically as you switch directories or tabs. No manual project switching.

What about pair-programming sessions?

Both devs track their time separately in their own client; the merged report shows pair time as overlapping.

Can the team lead see everyone's tracked time?

Yes — admins on an organisation see roll-ups; devs see their own.

What if a dev forgets to install the client?

They can manually log sessions via the web app, but they'll miss the automatic capture. The web app is the fallback, not the default.
