Time Tracking for Software Agencies

Sandtime.io was built for small and mid-sized software agencies that bill by project, retainer, or support contract and need earlier warning when time slips, scope creeps, and margins get thinner than the invoice suggests. No screenshots, no keystroke logging, no surveillance-heavy monitoring.

Why Software Agencies choose Sandtime.io

🗂️

Close retainer leakage

Retainer work, support requests, QA fixes, sprint spillover, and internal client comms all steal billable time when nobody logs them in the moment.

⏱️

Capture fragmented work

Let developers, designers, and PMs add time after deep work, calls, handoffs, and release pushes without reconstructing the whole week from memory.

📊

See margin drift before invoicing

Compare real hours against scoped budget before the project looks finished but margin is already gone. Spot creep while there is still time to react.

👥

Protect trust while staying accountable

Keep the whole delivery team in one system without screenshots, keystroke logging, or seat-based pricing pressure.

Agency margin diagnostic

See how much project margin your team may already be leaking

If even a few team members miss support work, review time, or late fixes each week, agency margin disappears faster than most founders expect. Estimate the leakage before it turns into a pricing problem.

Common use cases

  • Track retainer work before extra requests quietly push the team past the monthly allowance
  • Log post-sprint fixes, QA passes, deployment time, and client comms that rarely make it into the invoice
  • Review project burn before a sprint review so scope creep shows up before the margin disappears
  • Pull client-ready reports without manually stitching together developer notes and PM updates
  • See which retainers, fixed-fee projects, or support contracts are actually profitable
  • Use team time data to justify repricing, renegotiation, or tighter scope control at renewal

Key features

One-Click Timers

Start a timer fast or add time after the fact. Sandtime.io fits around delivery work instead of forcing the team to log every context switch in real time.

Client-ready reporting

Export clean client-ready timesheets by client, project, person, or date range. No invoice archaeology at month end.

Budget and profitability visibility

Track budgets and real hours in the same place so PMs can see when scoped work, support, and internal meetings are starting to eat the margin.

Built for agency teams

Developers, designers, PMs, and agency leadership can all work in one account without surveillance-heavy monitoring or per-seat friction.
