Survives crashes, sleep and bad Wi-Fi.
Idle time is trimmed, and the "are you still there?" minute never counts. A locked laptop never bills a meeting you were not in.
TimoTime tracking for Mac and Windows
Timo keeps time.
You keep shipping.
Timo is EMIAC's own time tracker. Real hours that survive a crash, screenshots you see first, and approvals in Lark, with nothing you type ever read.

Scenes from the real app, from Timo's own site.
You see them first.
Taken on a gentle cadence, never mid-keystroke. Blur or delete your own, and every one is gone after 60 days.
Forgot to start? Ask once.
Request the missing time in chat, and your manager approves it on a Lark card. The paper trail stays in the thread.
The contract
Counts, never content.
Timo counts keystrokes, clicks and scrolls. It has no idea what you typed. If it ever stops counting, it tells you, loudly.
What Timo keeps
- How many keys, clicks and scrolls
- When the timer ran, and when you were idle
- Screenshots, shown to you, kept 60 days
- Window titles and URLs, only if an admin turns them on
- What you typed
- Your clipboard
- Your microphone or camera
The dashboard
The other half
lives in your browser.
Managers see the whole workspace at a glance. Everyone else sees their own day, minute by minute.
A demo workspace. The people are made up; the product is not.
The engineering
Zero-loss timekeeping.
Every tick is written to disk before it reaches the screen, and the server counts only the minutes it can prove. A crash, a dead network or a new laptop cannot swallow an hour you worked, and nobody can invent one they did not.
- Runs on a stopwatch, so a wrong system clock cannot bend it
- A new laptop brings your confirmed day back
- One workspace timezone for the app, dashboard, Lark and payroll
The cadence
Small releases,
every few days.
Timo updates itself: it checks after launch and installs when you say so. Every build is written up, including the ones that fixed the last one.

Built by EMIAC, used by EMIAC.
EMIAC's own hours are kept by Timo. It sits beside Clario, which records our meetings, and AirNote, which types what we say.
Questions
Does Timo read what I type?
No. It counts keystrokes, clicks and scrolls, and never records what they were. It does not touch the clipboard, the microphone or the camera.
Who sees my screenshots?
You do, first. You can blur or delete your own, and every screenshot is removed after 60 days.
What happens if my laptop crashes?
Nothing is lost. Every tick is on disk before it is on screen, and the day comes back when Timo starts again, or on a new laptop.
Which computers does it run on?
Mac and Windows. The Mac app is signed and notarized by Apple, and both update themselves.
Can my company use Timo?
Timo is in use at EMIAC, with sign-in through Lark. If you want it, or a tracker built around how your team works, contact sales.
