How it works
From email → to structured time data → to simple, clear insights.
Step 1
Email your day
Send a single email to your TimeDetail address with simple lines like Client - minutes - note.
Step 2
We parse & tidy it
TimeDetail turns that email into structured entries with clean, billing-ready descriptions.
Step 3
Review & export
Filter by client or date in the dashboard and export CSV into your invoicing or reporting system.
Built for people who live in email.
Perfect for freelancers, consultants, and busy executives who want clarity without another app to manage.
Freelancers & consultants
Quickly justify invoices with clean logs grouped by client and project.
Executives & managers
See how your day really splits: strategy, meetings, and admin.
Small teams
Roll everyone's entries into simple client or project reports you can share.
Why TimeDetail instead of another time tracker?
Most tools want timers, fields, and extra clicks. TimeDetail meets you where you already are: your inbox.
- No timers, just email. If you can send an email, you can track your time.
- Works with your existing tools. Gmail, Outlook, custom domains—no app installs, no browser extensions.
- Simple, reliable exports. Export to CSV anytime for invoicing or analysis.
- Privacy-first. Your detailed logs are visible only to you (or your team if you choose).
