The timer starts with the work.
Tom opens the homepage wireframes for P-118 and starts the timer. A client question pulls him away for an hour, so he stops it and starts again after lunch.
Time tracking
Checking availabilityComing soonKnow where the hours go, and what they cost.
A live timer, weekly timesheets your team submits and locks, and rate cards that price every entry, so each hour lands in the project’s budget and margin.
Time tracking that knows what each hour costs
Your team starts a timer when the work begins, or adds the entry afterwards. Each entry keeps the rate that applied when it was logged, from the member’s own rate down to the workspace default. Timesheets are submitted and locked each week, and the hours flow into the project’s budget.
Capture time while the work is fresh
Start a live timer when you begin and stop it when you’re done, or add the entry by hand later. Each member’s week comes together on one timesheet, submitted at the end of the week and then locked, so the numbers stop moving.
A live timer
Start it when the work begins and stop it when you’re done; the time is saved as an entry.
Entries added by hand
Forgot the timer? Add the entry afterwards with its project, date and duration.
One timesheet per week
Each member sees their week on one timesheet, project by project, before sending it.
Submit, then lock
Members submit their week, and once it’s locked the hours stop changing.
Every hour carries the right rate
Rate cards resolve from the most specific level: member, then role, then project, then workspace. The rate is saved on each entry, so a later change doesn’t rewrite past hours, and the time feeds the project’s budget and profitability.
Rate cards at four levels
Set rates for the workspace, a project, a role or one member; the most specific one wins.
A rate saved on each entry
Each entry keeps the rate that applied when it was logged, even if the card changes later.
Time inside the budget
Logged hours count against the project budget as they land, at the rates they carry.
Ask Squaria about time
Ask how many hours went into a project this week and get the answer from your real entries.
How the hours add up in a normal week
Three ordinary moments in a studio’s week, from the first timer to the locked timesheet and the budget.
Friday afternoonThe week goes in before the weekend.
Inès adds the review she forgot to time, checks her week project by project and submits her timesheet. Once it’s locked, those hours stop moving.
Start of the monthThe budget already holds last week’s hours.
Max opens P-118: time to date sits against the budget, valued at the rates saved on each entry. Nothing to rebuild in a spreadsheet, and no rate that quietly changed.
Time tracking that feeds your margins.
In a 30-minute demo, bring last month’s timesheets and see how Squario would log them, price them and roll them into your project budgets.
Questions about time tracking
Can members log time without the timer?
Yes. Start a live timer or add an entry by hand afterwards; both end up on the member’s weekly timesheet.
How is the rate for an entry chosen?
Squario uses the most specific rate card: the member’s first, then the role’s, the project’s and finally the workspace’s. The rate is saved on the entry when it’s logged.
Can timesheets be locked?
Yes. Members submit their week, and it can then be locked so the hours stop changing.
Can Squario invoice the hours we track?
Not today. Time feeds project budgets and profitability; keep your invoicing tool for the invoices.
