Track Time Directly in Slack

Start, stop, and check timers in Slack with the /start-tracking, /stop-tracking, and /time-tracking commands, free for unlimited users. Slack is the only team chat or project tool with a built-in Sandtime.io integration - there is no Asana integration - and other tools, AI assistants included, reach your hours through the REST API or the MCP server.

What you get with Sandtime.io Slack integration

Slash commands

Type /start-tracking with a project, /stop-tracking when you are done, and /time-tracking to see what is running. No need to open the Sandtime.io app.

Real-time sync

Entries created in Slack sync to Sandtime.io immediately. Reports and timesheets reflect them without any delay, ready for Excel or CSV export.

Project selection

Select which project to track against directly from the Slack command. Entries stay organized without extra steps.

Team adoption

Lower friction for distributed teams who already work in Slack. Adoption increases when tracking fits the existing workflow.

Less app switching

No need to switch apps every time a task starts or stops. Stay in Slack, stay in flow.

Unified tracking

Slack-tracked entries appear alongside timer and manual entries. One consistent view across all tracking methods.

Who uses Slack time tracking

  • Distributed teams using Slack as their primary work tool
  • Developers who prefer not to leave their communication tool
  • Managers encouraging team-wide time tracking adoption
  • Teams wanting lower friction than opening a dedicated app

Slack questions

What can I do from Slack?

Track time without leaving the conversation, which suits teams whose day already runs in Slack channels rather than in a separate tab.

Who sets up the Slack connection?

Anyone in the organization can add Sandtime.io to Slack from Settings > Integrations > Slack. Until someone does, the Slack commands are not available in the workspace.

Does the integration read our messages?

It works with the interactions you send it. Sandtime.io records the time you report and does not monitor activity.

Does Slack time appear in reports?

Yes. Time reported through Slack is the same record as time entered anywhere else, so it reaches timesheets and reports the same way.
