Generating time reports and productivity insights
The Reports tab helps you understand how time is being spent across your workspace.
You can use reports to review tracked hours, measure billable work, compare productivity across dates, and understand team activity over a selected period.
Reports are useful for personal reviews, client updates, project planning, invoicing checks, and team performance visibility.
Opening reports
To view reports:
-
Go to the Reports tab in your workspace.
-
Choose the date range you want to review.
-
Apply any filters, such as tags.
-
Review the report summary and detailed breakdowns.
Timether will calculate the report based on the selected period and filters.
Choosing a date range
Reports can be generated for different time periods.
You can use preset date ranges for quick reporting, such as:
-
This Week
-
Last Week
-
This Month
-
Last Month
These presets are useful when you want to quickly review common reporting periods without manually selecting dates.
Using a custom date range
If you need a more specific report, you can use the custom date picker.
A custom date range is useful when you want to report on a specific client billing period, project phase, sprint, campaign, or internal review period.
To use a custom range:
-
Open the date range selector in the Reports tab.
-
Choose a start date.
-
Choose an end date.
-
Apply the range.
The report will update based on the selected dates.
Filtering reports by tags
Tags allow you to narrow your report to specific types of work.
For example, you can filter reports by tags such as:
-
#meetings
-
#dev
-
#design
-
#support
-
#research
-
#admin
This helps you answer more targeted questions, such as how much time was spent in meetings, how much development work was completed, or how much support time was used during a billing period.
If multiple tags are available, select the tags that match the type of work you want to analyze.
Understanding the report summary
The report summary gives you a quick overview of the selected period.
These statistics help you understand both total activity and billing quality.
Total tracked time
Total Tracked Time shows the full amount of time recorded during the selected date range.
This includes both billable and non-billable time.
Use this number to understand the overall workload for the period.
Billable percentage
Billable Percentage shows how much of the tracked time was billable.
It is calculated by comparing billable seconds against total tracked seconds.
For example, if most of the tracked work was client-billable, the billable percentage will be higher. If the period includes more internal work, admin tasks, or non-billable meetings, the percentage may be lower.
This metric helps you understand how much of your tracked time contributes directly to billable work.
Most productive day
Most Productive Day shows the day with the highest total tracked time in the selected period.
This helps you identify when the most work was recorded.
It can be useful for spotting work patterns, reviewing busy days, or understanding how time is distributed across the week or month.
Most billable day
Most Billable Day shows the day with the highest total billable time.
This may be different from the most productive day.
For example, one day may have the most total tracked hours, but another day may have more billable client work.
This insight helps you understand which days contributed most to billable output.
Top person
Top Person shows the team member who logged the most hours during the selected period.
This is useful for team reporting and workload visibility.
Managers can use this to understand who contributed the most tracked time, while individuals can use it to review their own activity during a period.
Using reports for better decisions
Reports are not just for totals. They help you understand how work is actually happening.
You can use Timether reports to:
-
Review billable and non-billable time
-
Prepare client updates
-
Check team workload
-
Analyze project effort
-
Review productivity trends
-
Understand where time is being spent
-
Support invoicing and billing reviews
By combining date ranges, tag filters, and report summary statistics, you can create focused reports that match the exact question you want to answer.
