Built for agencies who outgrew spreadsheets

realtime

The in-house Harvest replacement for agencies — track time, manage project budgets, and invoice through Xero. One tool, your whole team.

Everything an agency needs, nothing it doesn't

Real V1 features, not a roadmap.

Browser start/stop timers

One click to start, one to stop. Elapsed time counts locally from when it started — no server round-trip needed to keep ticking.

Menu bar for Mac

A native menu bar timer, so you never need a browser tab open just to track time. Unsigned — build it yourself from source in a few minutes.

Clients, projects & tasks

Organize work the way an agency actually works: clients own projects, projects own tasks, people are assigned per project.

Weekly timesheet

A clean, spreadsheet-style week grid. Click a cell, type 1:30 or 1.5, hit enter. Keyboard-navigable, just like Harvest.

Team hours, not team money

Everyone can see who logged what hours. Only admins ever see rates, costs, or dollar amounts — enforced on every endpoint.

Reports, every angle

Break down hours by person, client, project, task, or time slot. Admins get revenue, cost, and margin alongside it.

Budgets with real alerts

Set a budget in hours or dollars per project, with as many alert thresholds as you want — 50%, 80%, 100%, whatever fits.

Expenses

Log billable or non-billable expenses with a receipt — upload a file or just paste a URL. Your call.

Draft invoices, pushed to Xero

Group unbilled time and expenses into a draft, review it, then push it to Xero. Status syncs back automatically.

Harvest import

Bring your history with you: people, clients, projects, rates, time, expenses, and invoices — matched, not duplicated.

API + MCP for agents

A full REST API and a hosted MCP server your AI assistant connects to with OAuth — paste a URL, sign in, done.

Admin vs member, enforced

Members never see rates, costs, or invoice totals — not even their own. It's not a UI setting, it's checked on every API call.

How it works

1

Set up clients & projects

Add your clients, spin up projects with a budget, and assign your team.

2

Track time as you work

Start a timer or log hours on the weekly grid. Add expenses as they come up.

3

Draft and send invoices

Group unbilled work into a draft, review it, and push it straight to Xero.
