Timer inside GitHub
Start tracking from GitHub issues and project boards with the browser extension. The issue context comes along with the entry.
Ergosy
Track time on GitHub issues without leaving your flow
Ergosy helps development teams, software agencies and freelancers track time on GitHub tasks. With the browser extension, you can start a timer directly from GitHub in Chrome or Firefox.
Why GitHub alone is often not enough
GitHub is great for issues, pull requests and project boards. But when you need to explain billable hours to clients, the task itself is only part of the story. You need to know how much time went into the issue, which project it belonged to and whether the work was billable.
That is why teams search for GitHub time tracking or end up looking at tools like Clockify. Ergosy is useful when you want time tracking closer to project administration: clients, projects, tasks, rates and reports stay connected.
Who GitHub time tracking helps
- Software agencies planning client work in GitHub issues
- Web development teams separating bugs, features and support hours
- Freelancers who want to see where time went per issue
- Teams using GitHub Projects while billing outside GitHub
- Agencies that want fewer scattered timers, notes and spreadsheet fixes
What Ergosy adds to GitHub
Hours on the right project
Connect time to clients, projects and tasks, so GitHub work does not end up as loose hours in your admin.
Reports for client work
Use your entries for project insight, estimates versus actuals and billable hours without rebuilding the story later.
A calmer alternative to scattered GitHub time tracking
A standalone timer works while everyone types the same details consistently. In real teams, that slips quickly: an issue number sits in the description, the client is missing, or support and development work are mixed together.
Ergosy keeps the timer lightweight, but gives the hours structure. You can track from GitHub and still keep the result useful for time tracking, project reviews, reporting and billing.
What you can understand faster
- Time spent per GitHub issue or task
- Billable and non-billable development hours
- Bugs, features, support and meetings per project
- Projects that regularly take more time than estimated
- Hours that can move into reports or billing without detective work
“If the work starts in GitHub, the timer should be able to start there too.”
Available for Chrome and Firefox
The Ergosy Timer works through the browser extension for Chrome and Firefox. During development, you do not have to keep switching back to the web app to start, stop or restart a timer.
If your team works from GitHub all day, time tracking becomes a small action during the work instead of an admin task after the fact.
