Time tracking that says hi, not gotcha.
Track time, projects and activity in the desktop app and on the web. Your team sees exactly what managers see, so nobody wonders what's being counted.
Hi Day Cloud from $3.50 per person / month, or self-host the open-source version free.
About what you'd see in a normal office.
Who's in, what they're working on and for how long. Hi Day sticks to the basics a team would notice in a typical office.
Like signing in at the front desk.
One click starts the day in the desktop app or on the web. Hours land on the right project and task, ready for timesheets.
- Desktop app for Windows, macOS and Linux
- Pause and pick up where you left off
- Idle time flagged for review by default
Yes, it's monitoring. Here's exactly how much.
We know monitoring isn't everyone's favourite topic, but we also know it helps. This is what's recorded, what isn't, and who gets to see it.
What's recorded
- Time on the timer
- Which apps, window titles and websites are in use, while the timer runs
- How active each stretch of time was, never what you type
- Screenshots, at an interval your team sets, or none at all
What isn't
- Anything while the timer is off
- The words you type
- Your camera or microphone
Who sees it
- You see everything recorded about you
- Your manager sees the same, no more
- Pause any time, and idle time follows your team's idle policy
From first tick to timesheet.
Timesheets & edits
Timesheets fill themselves as you track. Add or fix an entry by hand when the day didn't go to plan.
Idle detection
Step away and the time is flagged, so nobody is paid for, or blamed for, a forgotten timer.
Easy onboarding
Invite people by email, share a join link, or import a whole team from a spreadsheet.
On every desktop
A light app for Windows, macOS and Linux that stays out of the way until you need it.
Run it yourself, free.
Hi Day is open source. Host it on your own servers at no cost, and anyone (your team, IT people or funders) can check exactly what it records.
Or let us run it for you.
