What is TimeMagick?
TimeMagick is time tracking software that connects tracked hours to projects, budgets, billing and profitability. Every hour is tracked against a client, project and task, so the same data shows how the project is going, what can be billed and which clients are profitable.

How TimeMagick differs from a standalone time tracker
A timer records hours. TimeMagick connects those hours to the work, the budget, the invoice and the margin.
Hours belong to projects
Time tracking starts when a person selects a project and task and presses Start, so every entry carries its client, project and task.
Budgets stay visible
Budget against spent time appears on project cards, the Gantt, time approval and the dashboard, with budget alerts and forecasting.
Approved hours become invoices
Approvers set how much of each entry is billable; Project Billing shows what is billable and what is already billed.
Profitability from the same data
Revenue, profit, client margin, effective rate and Client Health come from the hours, rates, invoices and expenses already in TimeMagick.
Activity without screenshots
During tracked time, TimeMagick records activity levels and app and website usage. It does not take screenshots.

How project communication worksCan I give clients access to TimeMagick?

How the client portal worksDoes TimeMagick show project profitability?
Yes. TimeMagick's KPI module shows revenue, profit and margin by client, low-profit projects, projects over budget, uninvoiced hours and a Client Health ledger, using the tracked time, project budgets, client rates, expenses and billing data already in the product.
How profitability tracking worksIs TimeMagick suitable for engineering and design studios?
Yes, for project-based work. TimeMagick is not built only for engineers, but engineering, CAD and design studios can track time against each project and task, compare hours spent with project budgets, plan on a board and a Gantt, give clients a portal, invoice approved hours and see project profitability in the same system.
TimeMagick for engineering studiosIs TimeMagick suitable for agencies?
Yes, for project-based agencies and professional-service teams. Agencies can track hours against each client project and task, decide what is billable, compare billable with billed hours, invoice clients, give them their own workspace, and see which projects and clients are profitable, all from the same project data.
TimeMagick for agenciesWhat activity data does TimeMagick record?
During tracked time, TimeMagick records work time, idle time, activity levels and the apps and websites used, classified as productive, neutral or unproductive. TimeMagick does not take screenshots of employees' screens. Private Time withholds app and URL detail; it is recorded separately and not counted as worked time. Each member has their own dashboard, and roles and permissions control who can view which reports.
How roles and permissions workCan I invoice clients with TimeMagick?
Yes. Tracked billable hours flow into project billing, where billable hours are compared with billed hours. Invoices can be created and downloaded as PDF, and reports can be exported as formatted Excel files.
