Time Tracking
A native, global timer that persists as you navigate the app. Start it on a task, switch pages, and it keeps counting. Stop it when you're done and the hours land directly on that record.
Focus on the work. We'll log the hours.
No more toggling between tabs or estimating hours at the end of the week. Because Ascend timers live at the record level, your timesheets practically write themselves.
- One-click start from any database record, page, or task.
- Global timer keeps counting as you navigate the app.
- Pause for interruptions; only active time counts.
- Manual log entries for end-of-day or retroactive time.
- Tag time as Billable or Admin for clean invoice selection.
