Automatic time tracking

At 5 PM you cannot remember 10:40 AM. It can.

Project Timebook sits quietly behind your work and records what was actually in front of you, minute by minute. No timer to start. No timesheet to reconstruct from memory. And none of it ever leaves your computer.

Free early access after WyConnect sign-in. No trial or payment.

The Project Timebook timeline showing a real consultant workday recorded minute by minute across Word, Outlook, Excel, Teams and Acrobat

What it actually does

Three things, done properly.

01 / REMEMBER

It watches the work, not you.

The program in front of you and the title of what is open become a local timeline. That is where "Q3 budget model.xlsx" comes from. There are no screenshots, no keystroke logging, and no webcam.

02 / WRITE

Generate the client brief.

Pick a period and press Generate. Project Timebook reads the apps and documents it recorded and writes a detailed, client-ready brief of the work you actually did. No sorting, no projects, no filing. Your own OpenAI key, previewed before anything is sent.

03 / BILL

Get the report your invoice needs.

Any range of days, grouped by app or day, rounded the way you actually bill. Export a CSV that a billing system can read.

The part that matters

Your workday never gets uploaded. Not to us. Not to anyone.

Every captured window title, document name and app goes into an encrypted database file on your own disk. Project Timebook has no server to send it to. This is not a setting you have to find and switch on, and it is not a plan tier. It is how the product is built, and it is the whole reason to trust a time tracker at all.

Read exactly what we hold

Control nobody else gives you

Name an app, and it is never recorded again.

Most trackers record everything and let you hide it afterwards. Hiding is not privacy. In Project Timebook an excluded app never reaches the database in the first place, so there is nothing to leak later.

Full

App name plus the window or document title. This is the default, and it is what makes a block recognisable three weeks later.

App only

The app name is kept, the titles never are. Good for Slack and messaging, where you want the hour but not the conversation.

Never

Nothing is written at all. Your bank, your password manager, your personal browser. The timeline just shows plain untracked time.

The real application

Seven screens. No mockups.

Everything shown here is a capture of the running desktop app, taken from the current build.

Straight answers

The questions people actually ask.

Is this spyware my boss installs on my machine?

No. Project Timebook is bought and installed by the person using it, and there is no admin console, no team dashboard, and no remote view of anyone's timeline. There is nowhere for that data to go, because it never leaves the computer it was recorded on.

Does it take screenshots or record my keystrokes?

Neither. It reads the name of the program in the foreground and the title of the window, once a second, and nothing else. No screen capture, no key logging, no camera, no microphone.

What happens when I am not at my desk?

It notices. After your idle threshold passes it closes the current block and writes plain away time instead of billing you an imaginary hour of Chrome. Locking the machine or letting it sleep does the same thing.

Do I have to sign in to use it?

Yes. WyConnect is required to use Project Timebook, including during free early access. It identifies the person using the app and never receives their timeline, projects, or hours.

All the questions, answered properly

Stop guessing at your own week.

Install it this afternoon and by tomorrow evening you will have a complete, accurate record of a day you would otherwise have had to reconstruct from memory.
