Non-technical teams struggle to track billable hours across multiple clients

Creative agencies, consultants, and service firms waste 5-10 hours weekly reconciling time entries across disconnected tools (spreadsheets, email, Slack). Existing time trackers like Toggl and Harvest require manual client/project setup and offer poor integration with their actual work apps (Google Docs, Figma, email), making adoption difficult for teams unfamiliar with time-tracking discipline.
