Time tracking

Time tracking with screenshots that turns hours into invoices

Run a timer in the browser, in the Chrome extension or in the Invollo desktop tracker for Windows. The desktop tracker can take periodic screenshots as proof of work, and every tracked hour can go straight onto an invoice.

The problem

Hours you forget to log are hours you don’t get paid for

Unlogged calls, untracked fixes, and lost spreadsheet hours quietly eat your earnings. At the same time, hourly clients hesitate when billing lacks clear proof. Invollo solves both with lightweight timers, optional proof-of-work screenshots, and direct conversion from logged time into invoices.

How it works

How time tracking works in Invollo

  1. Set up the project

    Create an hourly or fixed-price client project with your billing rate.

  2. Start a timer anywhere

    Track time from the Windows desktop app, the browser timer, or the Chrome extension.

  3. Review your time

    Review logged entries and captured screenshots in your workspace work diary.

  4. Invoice the hours

    Turn unbilled project time into decimal invoice lines.

What you get

Three ways to track, one set of hours

  • Desktop tracker for Windows

    A native desktop application for Windows 10 and 11 that tracks time in any active software.

  • Web timer

    Start and stop project timers directly from your browser on any operating system.

  • Chrome extension

    A handy browser toolbar timer for quick logging without keeping the main app open.

  • Optional proof-of-work screenshots

    Periodic full-screen captures at workspace-set intervals (3 to 15 minutes), reviewable by the workspace and, if allowed, the client.

  • Tracked time to invoice lines

    Convert unbilled hours into quantity × rate lines on branded client invoices.

Plain-language disclosure

Yes, the tracker takes screenshots. Here is exactly how.

  • The desktop tracker captures your full screen while a timer runs with screenshots enabled.
  • Workspaces set the capture interval: every 3, 5, 10, or 15 minutes (5 by default).
  • Screenshots upload to workspace storage; clients only see them if the workspace permits.
  • If you track time in someone else's workspace, they set these rules. Close private documents while tracking.
