Time Tracking Built for Clarity, Not Surveillance.
TimeNova pairs a web dashboard with a desktop agent so teams can see where time actually goes — without turning tracking into micromanagement.
Our Story
Why TimeNova Exists
Manual timesheets ask people to remember, at the end of a day or a week, exactly how their hours were spent. That reconstruction is rarely accurate, and it puts the burden of proof entirely on the person doing the work.
At the same time, teams genuinely need visibility into how work is progressing — not to police every minute, but to catch scope creep, keep project budgets honest, and know where the effort is really going. TimeNova was built to close that gap: automatic time tracking that removes the guesswork, without turning monitoring into surveillance.
The desktop agent runs quietly on Windows, macOS, and Linux, tracking time, idle state, and optional screenshots locally, then syncing to the web dashboard.
Mission
Give every team a clear, honest picture of where time goes — so decisions about projects, budgets, and people are made on evidence, not guesswork.
Vision
Time tracking that teams trust: transparent to the people being tracked, useful to the people managing the work, and never a substitute for good judgment.
Product Principles
What We Build Around
Clarity
Dashboards and reports show exactly where time went — no digging through spreadsheets to find out.
Responsible monitoring
Screenshots and activity are only captured while a timer is running, and the tracked member can see what was recorded.
Privacy-aware design
Browser activity logs the domain, not the full URL, and no keystroke content or location data is ever collected.
Reliable tracking
The desktop agent keeps working offline and syncs automatically the moment a connection comes back.
Useful reporting
Daily, weekly, team, and cost reports turn raw time entries into numbers people actually act on.
Simple team management
Roles, invites, budgets, and multi-org workspaces stay easy to manage as a team grows.
