Time tracking
Track time where the work happens: on the Backlog issue.
A timer on every Backlog issue page, Actual Hours that stay up to date, and reports your managers can export.
30 days free. No credit card needed.
The problem
Time gets logged in a separate tool, days later, from memory. Backlog's Actual Hours drift away from reality, and nobody trusts the reports.
How it works
Install the Chrome extension
It adds a Chronigami panel to Backlog issue pages on backlog.com, backlog.jp and backlogtool.com.
Start the timer on the issue you're working on
One click. A badge shows the time running.
Stop when you're done
The entry is saved against that issue, and the issue's Actual Hours update in Backlog.
Fix or add time in the web app
Edit entries, log time you forgot, and add tags and notes.
Features
Timer on the issue page
Start, stop and log time manually without leaving Backlog. See the issue's total time at a glance.
Actual Hours written back to Backlog
Chronigami updates the issue's Actual Hours field with the time your team logs. An admin turns this on for the workspace.
A timer that doesn't run all night
If the browser closes, the timer stops instead of counting for hours.
Seven built-in reports
Time by person, by issue, by tag and by your own fields, entries that need review, and estimated versus logged hours.
Excel and CSV exports
Export any report, grouped or flat. Exports keep working even if a subscription lapses, so your data never gets stuck.
Saved and shared reports
Save up to 50 reports and share them with your workspace.
Your own reporting fields
Pick up to five Backlog custom fields to capture on each entry, so you can report by client, phase or anything else you track in Backlog.
Clients, projects and tags
Group work by client and project, and require tags where you need them (for example, billable or not).
Roles that fit your team
Developers see their own time. Managers and admins see everyone's.
The timer lives in your browser.
The Chronigami extension adds a panel to Backlog issue pages. Sign in once with your Backlog account.
Who it's for
Team leads who need accurate hours per issue, agencies that bill by time, and developers who'd rather click Start than fill in a timesheet.
