Build a Time Tracking App with Glide

A Glide time tracking app captures where employee hours go — by project, client, task, and activity — giving operations and finance teams the data they need for billing, labor cost allocation, and capacity planning without requiring employees to remember to fill out a timesheet at the end of the week. GlideApps Agency builds time tracking tools for professional services firms, agencies, and project-based businesses where accurate time data directly affects billing accuracy and project profitability. We build systems where time tracking actually happens.

What does building a Time Tracking app include?

Every engagement includes discovery, data architecture, UI/UX design, development, QA, and post-launch support — not just a build-and-handoff.

Discovery & Architecture

Requirements mapping, data modeling, integration planning, and platform-fit assessment before a single screen is built.

UI/UX Design

Wireframes and interactive prototypes designed for your users — not generic templates. Optimized for mobile and desktop.

Development & QA

Built by certified Glide experts with enterprise experience. Rigorous testing across devices, roles, and data volumes.

Launch & Support

User training, documentation, and ongoing maintenance. We don't disappear after deployment.

Key features of your Time Tracking app

Real-Time Timer with Project Tagging

Employees start and stop timers directly from project or task records so time is captured in context — assigned to the right project, client, and activity code automatically rather than requiring manual reconstruction at end of week.

Mobile-Friendly Time Entry

Log time from any device with a simple entry form showing project code, task, and duration — designed for employees in client meetings, on job sites, or in the field who can't access a desktop application.

Manager Review and Approval Workflow

Managers review submitted time entries before they're locked for billing or payroll — with the ability to flag entries needing clarification, request corrections, and approve in bulk to reduce the weekly review burden.

Client and Project Reporting

Generate time reports by client, project, employee, and time period that feed directly into invoicing and project cost tracking — giving finance and project managers the actuals they need rather than estimates.

Who uses a Time Tracking app?

+Replace end-of-week timesheet reconstruction with real-time project time tracking that captures hours as work happens — improving billing accuracy and reducing the revenue leakage from forgotten time entries

+Give project managers real-time visibility into hours burned by project and task so they can identify scope creep and resource overruns while there's still time to act rather than in the post-project debrief

+Automate the flow of approved time entries into client invoices so billing doesn't require manual extraction and entry from timesheet records — reducing invoice preparation time and billing cycle length

How much does a Time Tracking app cost?

Projects start at $15,000 for internal business apps. Most clients invest $40,000–$80,000 annually across development, iteration, and support.

Project Type	Timeline	Starting At
Internal Business App	4–6 weeks	$15,000
Client-Facing Portal	4–6 weeks	$20,000
Enterprise Platform	6–8 weeks	$40,000
Multi-App Architecture	8–12 weeks	$50,000+

The Glide Sprint Process

How we build your Time Tracking app

Discovery

Requirements, data modeling, and platform-fit assessment. We define scope before writing a line of logic.

Architecture

Data structure, security model, integration map, and user roles. The blueprint that prevents rework.

Build

Iterative development with weekly demos. You see progress, not just status updates.

QA & Launch

Cross-device testing, user acceptance, and production deployment with rollback safety.

Support

Ongoing maintenance, feature iterations, and scaling support. We don't disappear after launch.

Frequently asked questions about Time Tracking apps

How do you get employees to actually track their time consistently?+

Friction is the enemy of adoption. We build time tracking apps designed for the way employees actually work — mobile-first, timer-based from project records, with automated reminders for employees who haven't logged time by end of day.

Can the app handle billable versus non-billable time tracking?+

Yes. We configure billable/non-billable designations by project, task type, and activity code — with reporting that shows utilization rates and billable percentage by employee and team.

Does the app integrate with our invoicing or project management system?+

We connect Glide time tracking apps with QuickBooks, Harvest, Asana, Jira, and other project management and billing systems via API and Zapier depending on the target system's connectivity.

Can the app track time against different rate types for the same employee?+

Yes. We configure hourly rate tables by employee, role, project type, and client so time entry automatically maps to the correct billing rate — supporting multiple rate structures without manual calculation.

What does a time tracking app cost?+

Time tracking apps typically range from $14,000–$25,000 depending on project hierarchy complexity, billing rate logic, approval workflow tiers, and integration with invoicing or project management systems.
