The time tracking tool we built to run our own business.

Running multiple client projects simultaneously meant constant context-switching between tools. We built KiteTimer to track time automatically as tickets move through our workflow, send alerts when a project hits 50% or 80% of its estimate, and generate the reports clients actually want to see.

Overview

Running multiple client projects simultaneously meant constant context-switching between tools just to understand where time was going. We needed a single place that could track time, flag budget overruns early, and give clients accurate reports, without anyone having to manually maintain it.

KiteTimer is the platform we built to solve this. It tracks time automatically as tickets move through our workflow, sends alerts when a project hits 50% or 80% of its estimate, and generates the reports clients actually want to see. It posts updates to both Slack and Google Chat, so the whole team stays informed regardless of which tool they prefer.

  • Timers start and stop automatically as tickets move through workflow states
  • Budget alerts at 50% and 80% give clients early warning, not surprises
  • Timesheet and velocity reports ready for client review at any time
  • Notifications delivered to Slack and Google Chat simultaneously
