Log hours in Slack, by project, in about ten seconds

Where a lightweight logger stops being enough

This is hours against projects, reviewed and exported. It is not a professional services automation suite: there is no rate card, no invoice generation, no resource planning and no accounting integration. If you need to bill straight out of the tracker, you want a PSA system, and you should buy one.

What it is good at is the case that suite is overkill for: a small team that needs to know where the week went, per project, without anyone adopting a second product to say so. For the full comparison of timers, spreadsheets and daily logs, see How to track time in Slack.

If you wanted a countdown or Pomodoro clock rather than hours, that is a different category, covered in our Slack timer guide. And if you searched for a Clockify Slack integration, that guide explains what exists and what does not.

Slack time tracking FAQ

How does time tracking in Slack work?

asyncmate sends each person a DM on the schedule you set, listing the projects they are assigned to. They enter hours against each one and submit. The totals land in the dashboard, where you can review them by person or project, see the calendar, and export a CSV.

Is Slack time tracking free?

Hours logging runs on the free plan. It shares the same billing rule as check-ins: someone becomes an active participant by answering a check-in or logging hours, and the first 10 of those are free. Reporting on the free plan covers a rolling 90 days; Pro keeps the full history.

Do people need a timer running?

No. There is no start button and nothing to leave running overnight. People report the hours they worked when the prompt arrives, which is how most small teams already fill in a timesheet, minus the spreadsheet.

What if someone forgets a day?

They type /asyncmate hours yesterday and get that day's card as a DM, with the same buttons. Any day in the last 31 works, as long as the logger's edit window is still open. Each entry can also carry a short note, so the hours arrive with what they were for.

Can I set a daily target?

Yes. A logger can carry a daily target, and the review screens show overtime and shortfall against it, so a week where somebody logged fifty-two hours is visible without adding the column up yourself.

Can we track hours per client or project?

That is the unit. You define the projects, then assign each one to everyone, to everyone-except a few people, or to a fixed list. Reports break down by project, which is what you need for invoicing a client or costing a piece of work.

Can I get the data out?

Yes, as a CSV export from the Hours section for whatever date range you choose. It is meant to be handed to payroll or dropped into an invoice, not admired inside the dashboard.
