Project plans, tracked hours, and budgets are often managed separately. Without a clear connection between them, it's hard to understand where development time is going or whether projects are still on track.
Feature work, bug fixes, code reviews, meetings, and production support all compete for the same workday. Without consistent time tracking, important work goes untracked and project reports become less reliable.
Task boards show what's done and what's still in progress, but rarely what a feature or project actually costs to deliver. IT teams can follow delivery every day without knowing whether the project is still on budget.
Without comparing estimated and actual hours, software development teams can't see which features consistently take longer than planned or use that knowledge to improve future estimates and deliver projects more predictably.
From logging daily work to reviewing project budgets and development costs, each role sees the time data that matters most.
Reviews engineering costs, project performance, and team-wide trends to support planning, budgeting, and investment decisions.
Monitors budgets, timelines, and project progress across multiple client or internal development projects at once.
Monitors team workload, capacity, and time allocation across projects to keep delivery balanced and resources used efficiently.
Logs time against tasks and sprints as work happens using a weekly timesheet, calendar view, or browser extension.
Track time directly against tasks and projects, so every logged hour has context.
Kanban boards, task statuses, and project budgets stay connected, making it easier to understand where development time goes and how projects are progressing.
Fill in a weekly timesheet at a natural stopping point or use the calendar view for exact start and stop times, whichever fits the way your team works.
Multiple ways to log time help keep project data complete, even when the day is split across different types of work.
As hours are logged, project budgets and labor costs update automatically, so project spending stays visible throughout development instead of only after the work is complete.
See when projects are approaching their budgets while there's still time to adjust.
Set time estimates for tasks, then compare them with the actual hours logged as work progresses.
Quickly see where estimates were accurate, where they weren't, and use those insights to improve planning for future projects.
See where development time goes, how projects perform against budgets, and how future estimates can improve through your time tracking data. Detailed reports show where projects stay on track, where estimates need improvement, and where budgets require attention.

a year by closing the gap between planned and actual development hours.
* Pre-filled based on general time tracking benchmarks: development teams typically lose 10–15% of tracked time to interrupted work, incomplete time tracking, and estimates that were never revisited. Adjust based on your team's experience.
One of the greatest features actiTIME offers is the customizable reporting. We can generate virtually any report we need, grouped in different ways and only for the people assigned to each project. And if the report is not there, well, it's really easy to create a new one and save it for future use. Go for actiTIME!
It's simple, but also very powerful! You won't regret the decision. The software + support combination makes actiTIME the best tracking solution in the market.
Our work process is streamlined by having each user record their time. We calculate employee bonuses and send out invoices based on actiTIME input.
actiTIME frees up management from having to track all this on their own, and ensures that nothing falls through the cracks. actiTIME is great for a more hands-off approach that doesn't require granular tracking.
actiTIME is an intuitive and uncomplicated tool. It is web-based and thus, accessible from anywhere. No glitches or bugs for more than two year usage! Our company is operating in the IT industry.
We are constantly growing in the number of employees (from 30 to more than 100) and the number of projects is increasing correspondingly. actiTIME gives us fast time reporting and accurate calculations on the basis of reports made.
It's a good tool for estimating the hours spent on projects and then evaluate the work done accordingly. Especially, for tracking contractor's hours.
User interfaces are really clear and easy-to-use. It's a great app and it does its purpose!
Yes. actiTIME supports Agile and Scrum workflows with custom task statuses and a Kanban board, so you can organize work in stages that match your sprint workflow, from backlog to done. You can track time and estimated hours for every task, but actiTIME doesn't calculate story points, velocity, or burndown charts like a dedicated Agile planning tool. Many software development teams use actiTIME alongside their Agile planning tool, relying on it as their Agile time tracking tool for sprint time tracking, project budgets, costs, and reporting.
Yes. actiTIME lets software development teams and IT firms manage client, internal, and R&D projects within a single account. Time stays linked to the right project, task, and budget, while reports can be filtered by project, client, team, or department, so you can review exactly the data you need.
Yes. Distributed software development teams can track time in the same actiTIME account, whether people work remotely, in different offices, or across time zones. Shared online timesheets and centralized reports let managers see development time across the whole team, regardless of where developers are located.
Yes. actiTIME includes the security features IT firms expect, including two-factor authentication, configurable password and account lockout policies, and daily backups for the cloud version, which is also GDPR compliant. For organizations that require full control over their infrastructure, actiTIME is also available as a self-hosted solution.
Yes. actiTIME offers a permanent free version for teams of up to three users, with no credit card required. It's a practical option for small development teams and early-stage startups that need a reliable time tracking tool without upfront costs. Larger teams can start with a 30-day free trial of the full product before choosing a paid plan.
Not completely. Jira, Azure DevOps, and similar tools are built to plan and manage software development, while actiTIME is a time tracker focused on project costs, budgets, and reporting. Many software development teams use actiTIME alongside their existing planning tool to connect development time with project costs, budgets, and reporting.
Yes. actiTIME integrates with 2,000+ apps through Zapier and offers an open API for teams that need custom integrations. Most software development teams use actiTIME alongside their existing project management and collaboration tools, adding time tracking, project costs, budgets, and reporting without replacing the systems they already use for planning.
