Time tracking for agencies billing by the hour.

Every agency knows the call: the client questions the hours, the team remembers working them, and the invoice turns into a negotiation. The fix is not more detailed timesheets, which are reconstructed from memory anyway. It is time that attributes itself while the work happens, with evidence attached.

How agencies use TimeNova

• Time lands on the project as it happens. Each person picks the project and task in the desktop app, and every tracked second is attributed live. Switching tasks mid-morning re-attributes from that moment, never backwards, so the record stays honest.
• Totals that cannot disagree. Project hours are computed from the same tracked seconds as total hours, so the sum of client work can never exceed the hours actually worked. When a number is unattributed, it is reported as unattributed rather than smeared across projects.
• Evidence on demand. Screenshots at your chosen interval, or low-frame-rate recording for dispute-prone engagements. When a client questions a line item, you answer with the afternoon itself.
• One person, one second. A designer working across two machines is still one person; their overlapping seconds are counted once. Inflated hours are how agencies lose clients, so the arithmetic refuses to inflate.
• Client-sensitive privacy. Blur for teams working inside client systems, applied on the machine before upload, and URL query strings stripped so a client's session tokens are never stored on our side.

The part your team will care about

Agency staff have usually survived a bad monitoring tool at a previous job. TimeNova is an easier sell internally: they see their own tracked day, stopping the tracker is never flagged, and client calls count as work even when nobody is typing. The privacy policy is written to be shown to the team, not just to you.
