About Time for Slack

Time is a non-intrusive, in-chat time-tracking bot for Slack. Teams log hours with slash commands and short messages, share live statuses with colleagues, and give managers real-time reports — without timesheets, screenshots, or surveillance.

What Time does

In-chat time tracking

Start your workday, switch tasks, take breaks and clock out — all with short Slack commands. No separate app to open, no timer to forget.

Live team statuses

Everyone sees what the team is working on right now. Transparency replaces status meetings and "what are you up to?" DMs.

Reports & timesheets

Daily, weekly and per-project breakdowns for individuals and teams. Export clean timesheets for billing, payroll or auditing.

Breaks & reminders

Gentle nudges to start tracking, take a break and log off on time. Protects focus without enforcing a stopwatch.

Manager dashboards

See time spent per project, per person and per day. Spot overloaded teammates, validate estimates and catch blockers early.

Pairs with Karma

65% of Time customers also run Karma — our peer-recognition bot. Same Slack, same workspace, complementary signals.

How it works

1. Install in Slack

Add Time to your workspace in a minute. No IT project, no server to run.

2. Log time in chat

Use slash commands or short messages to start tasks, mark breaks, switch projects and clock out.

3. Get reports automatically

Managers view live dashboards and export timesheets; teammates see their own week at a glance.

Who it's for

Remote & hybrid teams

Keep visibility without monitoring. Time lives where work already happens — in Slack.

Agencies & studios

Track billable hours per client and project. Export timesheets for invoicing without hunting people down on Friday afternoon.

Product & engineering teams

Validate estimates, spot scope creep and protect deep-work blocks with clear time data.

People & operations leaders

Use real time data to balance workload, prevent burnout and make fairer decisions about capacity and hiring.

Pricing

Time uses a per-active-user model — you only pay for teammates who actually log time that month. Quiet months cost less, onboarding is painless, and the price scales honestly with usage. See the current plans on timebot.chat or read the per-active-user pricing announcement.

Who builds Time

Time is built by Sliday, a small digital studio in Auckland, New Zealand. We've been making Slack tools since 2016 — starting with Karma, the peer-recognition bot used by thousands of teams worldwide. Time is Karma's younger sibling for time tracking.

Frequently asked questions

Does Time work outside Slack?

No — Time is purpose-built for Slack. If your team lives in Slack, tracking happens where work already happens. For Microsoft Teams, see our sister product on the Karma bot site.

Do you take screenshots or monitor activity?

Never. Time only records what teammates explicitly log through Slack messages and commands. No screen capture, no keystroke tracking, no idle-time spying.

How does pricing work?

Per active user, per month. If a teammate doesn't log any time in a given month, they aren't billed. See the current plans on timebot.chat for details.

Is there a free trial?

Yes — Time comes with a 7-day free trial, no credit card required. Install it and try it with your team before you commit. Start the install flow on timebot.chat.

Can I export my data?

Yes. Timesheets and reports export to CSV; managers can export per-person, per-project and per-period breakdowns for payroll, invoicing or audits.

What can managers see?

Hours logged per project and per teammate, live team statuses, and weekly summaries. Managers get insight, not a surveillance feed — the data is what people choose to log.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes, no long-term contract. Uninstall the app from Slack or downgrade from your workspace admin area.

Where do I get help?

Browse the Time help center for guides and troubleshooting, or email the team at stas@karmabot.chat.
