Time Tracking for Lawyers & Law Firms
Attorneys bill in 6-minute increments, but reconstructing a day from memory misses the calls, the emails, and the quick consults that add up fast. Sandtime.io makes it easy to log time against client matters as you go, from any device, so nothing slips through.
Lawyers & Law Firms: why they choose Sandtime.io
Track time by matter
Give each matter its own project, and every entry lands under the right client work. Billing reviews take minutes, not hours, when everything is already where it belongs.
Capture every billable minute
Start a timer with one tap or add an entry after the fact. No more reconstructing your day from memory and losing the 0.1s that add up.
Invoice-ready time reports
Pull a detailed time report per client or matter in seconds. Export to CSV for your billing software or share directly with clients.
Manage your whole firm
Track time across attorneys, associates, and paralegals from one account. See who billed what, on which matter, without chasing anyone for timesheets.
