Time tracking in a Telegram chat — no timer, no extra app
Timers get forgotten and spreadsheets get filled in from memory at the end of the month. WorkTime tracks time in the place your team already writes: the work chat.
Two characters instead of a timer
Write '+' when you start working and '−' when you finish. A short task name after the '+' tells the journal what the time was spent on:
+ 09:30 fix payment bug
− 18:10
That is the whole habit. Nothing to open, nothing to click, no form to fill in.
What the chat turns into
WorkTime pairs every '+' with its '−' into a work session and collects the month into a journal you can edit. From the journal it builds the reports:
- hours by task — where the paid time actually went
- hours by day — with days over 12 hours flagged for review
- hours by person — for a team, with the cost of the month at each agreed rate
When you forget
Forgot the '−'? Fix the end time in the journal. Forgot the whole day? Write the moment with its date: '+ 05.08 09:30 task' and '− 05.08 18:10'. Standard days can be added in one step.
For a team of 2–15 people
Add the bot to the work group. Each member's messages build their own sessions; the manager sees hours per person and what the month costs at one agreed rate per person. No boards, no sprints, no tickets — only time and the money it is worth.
Frequently asked questions
- Does everyone in the chat need to install something?
- No. The bot lives in the group; people keep writing in the same chat. Only the person who wants reports and invoices signs in — with Telegram, no password.
- Can I use it alone, without a team?
- Yes. A private chat with the bot works the same way, and at the end of the month you get the journal, the breakdown by task and, if you bill hourly, the PDF invoice.
- Does it track automatically, from activity?
- No — and that is the point. You decide when work starts and stops with two characters; nothing is guessed from your screen or keyboard.
