Time tracking and budgets that turn hours into margin
Timers and timesheets on every plan, budgets that warn at 80% and 100%, and profitability and unbilled time computed from the hours your team actually logged.

From a running timer to a clean invoice
Time is the input for utilisation, profitability and invoicing, so every step keeps the hours honest enough to bill from.
- 01
Track against the task
Start a timer from a task or the top bar. One timer runs per person, and a timer left running overnight shows up in the morning digest.
- 02
Review the timesheet
Hours are checked and corrected on the timesheet before anyone bills from them. Owners can fix an entry logged to the wrong project.
- 03
Watch the budget burn
Set a project budget in hours or value. Consumption tracks as time is logged, and crossing a threshold notifies owners and admins.
- 04
Bill it and mark it billed
Unbilled and client-invoice reports list what was delivered but not invoiced. Mark time billed once it is on an invoice.
Everything between the timer and the margin
Tracking is on every plan; budgets and profitability build on it when you switch them on.
- 01
Timers and timesheets
Start from a task or the top bar, one running timer per person, and a timesheet to review hours before anyone bills from them.
- 02
Budget thresholds
Alerts at the thresholds you set, commonly 80% and 100%, in owners' notifications and daily digest.
- 03
Profitability
Cost against value per project and per client, from your people's cost and bill rates.
- 04
Unbilled time
Billable hours worked but never invoiced, one row per entry.
- 05
Capacity and utilisation
Tracked hours against capacity per person: who is stretched, who has room.
- 06
Timer security
Require location, a known network, or both before a timer can start.
Time and budget detail
Including the parts finance asks about before they trust the numbers.
- One timer per personTime tracking
- Only one timer runs at a time for each person, so hours cannot be double-counted across tasks.
- Forgotten timers caughtTime tracking
- A timer left running from a previous day appears in the morning digest instead of quietly inflating a client's hours.
- Owner correctionsTime tracking
- Workspace owners can edit or delete a completed entry after the fact.
- Hours or value budgetsBudgets and profitability
- Budget a project in hours or in value, and consumption tracks against it as time is logged.
- Rate-based marginBudgets and profitability
- Profitability uses cost and bill rates set on your people; without rates, hours are counted but margin is not.
- Client invoice reportBudgets and profitability
- Unbilled time for one client over a date range, ready to invoice from.
- Location or network proofTimer Security
- Timers can require the browser's location, a recognised IP, or both.
The modules behind this page.
Worksynk ships as modules a workspace owner switches on under Settings → Modules. Most are off by default even when your plan covers them; pricing shows what each plan includes.

Common questions
Is time tracking on every plan?
Yes. Timers and timesheets are on every plan and switched on by default. Budgets, profitability and timer security are modules you switch on under Settings → Modules.
What happens when a project nears its budget?
You set thresholds on the budget, commonly 80% and 100%. When one is crossed, owners and admins are notified and it appears in their daily digest, so an overrun surfaces while there is still time to act.
Why does profitability show hours but no margin?
Margin needs cost and bill rates set on your people under Settings → Members, which only admins can do. Without rates, hours are counted but cost and value cannot be.
Does timer security track where people are?
Only when a timer starts, and only if you enable it: the browser shares location, the timer must start from a recognised network, or both. Tell the team first, and check your local obligations around employee location data.
