Know where the week actually went
Time tracking only matters when it's honest and effortless. With leave and holidays already accounted for, logging takes seconds - and the picture you get back is one you can actually plan from.
Tracking that earns its place
Honest numbers and real capacity - without making anyone's day harder.
No more "why does it say I'm short?"
Time off and holidays are already taken into account, so people are never chased for hours they were never meant to work. Expected hours drop on their own - then you submit the period when it's complete.

Hours that actually mean something
Add a work item from Jira, Linear, GitHub or Asana - or log against General time. What you look at later is the real story of where the week went, not a guess pieced together on a Friday.

Catch gaps before Friday
Needs attention, hours missing, complete, awaiting approval. Green days are filed; amber is short; empty is still missing. Leave already dropped out of expected hours.

Export hours without retyping
SquadBear has no payroll of its own - but a CSV report and a REST API hand the hours straight to the payroll and reporting systems you already run, so nobody re-types a single number.

Why teams pick it
Numbers you can trust
Because logging isn't a daily fight with the tool.
Real capacity, not guesswork
Plan from what's actually happening on the ground.
Export-ready for payroll
One CSV or an API call hands payroll the hours, already correct.
No time lost to leave confusion
It's handled before anyone has to ask.
Or your team can simply ask
Plain language in, the right thing done - correctly, and always within your rules. Here's a real example.
I want to commit the Q3 launch to Aug 12. Is the core team actually staffed and healthy enough to hit it?

Will people actually use it?
Yes - because it's quick and it never punishes anyone for taking time off. Low friction is what makes time tracking stick.
Does it know about leave and public holidays?
Yes, automatically. Expected hours adjust on their own, so nobody on leave looks like they're under-logging.
Can the data reach payroll and reporting?
Yes - export the hours as a CSV report or pull them from the REST API. There's no direct payroll integration, but both hand the numbers to the systems you already use with no re-keying.
Can someone log time just by asking?
Yes - in plain language, which is the quickest way to keep timesheets honest and up to date.
Do people submit a timesheet for approval?
Yes. They submit a complete period when the hours are in. Managers get a pending list across all dates, then approve or send it back. Submitting locks the entries until someone reopens them.
One suite for the whole people-ops day
Leave, time, team health and the employee record work as one, so the picture is always joined up - a booked holiday is known everywhere, a new hire's day one starts itself, and a quiet team never slips through.
Time off should be the easy part
When booking leave is effortless and cover takes care of itself, people actually rest, managers stop firefighting, and you always know where the business stands.
Clock in. That's the whole job.
Four buttons for the day.
Know how your team is really doing
Great teams quietly drift long before they visibly break.
Day one, already handled
The moment someone is hired, their record exists, their onboarding tasks have owners and dates, and the policies that need signing find them by themselves.
Run HR from the AI you already use
SquadBear is the system of record.
