Private timeline, business result

Only the user can open the timeline. The company gets approved hours.

Half5 helps people remember work without turning automatic time tracking into surveillance. The raw activity layer stays personal; teams work with submitted, approved and invoice-ready data.

User only can open the raw personal timeline
No raw timeline for managers or employers
Approved output for teams, finance, integrations and agents
Trust boundary

This boundary makes automatic time tracking easier to trust.

Half5 separates personal context from business output. Teams can roll out automatic time tracking without turning someone's private timeline into a management dashboard.

The user owns the timeline

Apps, websites and file context are suggestions for the person doing the work. They decide what is useful, private or irrelevant.

Managers see submitted hours

A team lead reviews submitted time, client, project and description. They do not browse someone's raw activity history.

Systems receive approved work

Finance, reports, accounting links, CRM and agents work with approved hours, not someone's private timeline.

From forgotten to billable

The timeline makes forgotten work recognizable before it falls out of the invoice flow.

The user sees context, chooses what belongs to work and turns it into a clean registration. Only then can managers approve it and finance invoice it.

Work context becomes a suggestion

Half5 recognizes patterns from programs, browser context and files so forgotten work reappears at the right moment.

The user accepts, adjusts or hides

Every suggestion can be approved, corrected or ignored before it becomes an hour entry.

Only submitted hours enter the team flow

Managers, finance and integrations receive the business record after submission and approval.

Product example

A suggestion becomes business value only after the user checks it.

People leave the day with less doubt about what they forgot. The company receives more billable work with customer, project and activity context, ready for approval and invoicing.

  • User confirms the suggestion first
  • Team sees submitted hours, not raw history
  • Finance and agents receive approved output
Personal controls

Users decide which programs and URLs stay outside the timeline.

Enterprise rollout depends on small, practical controls. Half5 lets users disable programs and URLs so the timeline feels useful instead of intrusive.

Enterprise trust

Privacy is not a disclaimer. It is the reason the rollout works.

Half5 keeps the part that matters clear: employees control their raw timeline, while management still gets approved hours and recovered revenue.

Adoption without fear

Automatic time tracking only works when people feel respected. Half5 turns privacy into the reason teams actually use it.

Revenue without pressure

Recovered minutes become billable work without asking people to reconstruct every day from memory.

Enterprise-ready governance

The separation between personal timeline, submitted hours and approved output gives your organization a clear trust model.

Branch examples

The timeline feels familiar when it speaks the language of the work.

Different teams forget different kinds of work. Half5 can zoom in per branch and connect the approved output to finance, CRM, project software and agents.

For teams where project work is scattered across tools and invoices are rebuilt from memory at the end of the week.

Private timeline, business result

Automatic time tracking only works when people trust it.

Half5 turns real activity into suggestions the user controls. The company gets approved hours, not a surveillance feed.

Trust stays intact

The raw timeline stays personal. Teams work with submitted hours, approvals and invoice-ready output.

Billable value returns

Even a few missed minutes per person per day become serious revenue across a team.

Approval before invoicing

Managers review exceptions before finance receives clean data, so recovered hours stay explainable.

Start with clarity

Choose the place where missed work already costs revenue.

Half5 shows which revenue can return, what stays personal, which hours finance may use and which systems receive approved data.

Forgotten work reappears from browser, app and file context.

Users approve or correct suggestions before sharing hours.

Finance receives approved time, not raw personal history.
