Clockk

Rize

Clockk

Tracking without timers

The Mac or Windows desktop app records the active window by app and document name, and a browser extension records each page's URL and title. Nothing has to be started or stopped.

Activity view

Each day is laid out project by project, showing the files, apps, web apps, calendar events and emails behind the time. Items are assigned to a project once or always.

AI project grouping

Clockk learns from past assignments and assigns matching work to the same project. On supported apps it reads the document or account name to tell projects apart.

Email and calendar tracking

The desktop app connects to Gmail, Outlook or Exchange, or an IMAP server to time draft emails, and imports Google and Outlook calendars or any public .ics feed.

Timesheets, budgets and team reports

Assigned time is locked in as a timesheet. Studio adds tags, project budgets, project-user permissions and team reports, including one listing who has not submitted.

Private by design

Clockk takes no screenshots and tracked activity is visible only to the person it belongs to. Employers see submitted timesheets, and tracking can be switched off at any time.

Rize

Automatic time tracking

Captures time across apps and websites in the background, with no timers or manual entry, and uses AI to categorize and tag it.

Client and project time

Sorts tracked time by client and project for billable hours, timesheets and invoices. Client and scheduled reports in PDF or CSV start on Pro.

Focus tools

Focus detection, distraction blocking, focus music and break reminders sit alongside the tracker, with AI insights on productivity and focus.

Rize Agent and AI reports

Ask questions about your time, projects and clients in chat, and run reports on demand or on a schedule. Each plan includes a monthly AI credit allowance.

Team visibility and profitability

Team plans give managers dashboards by client and project. Profitability views show revenue, cost and margin by client, project and member.

API, webhooks and MCP

From Pro, time data can be reached through the Rize API, webhooks, Zapier and an MCP server for AI assistants such as Claude and ChatGPT.
