See Where Engineering Time Really Goes
Focus records the time spent in editors, terminals, the browser and chat by app and website, so engineering teams see where the hours go. No keylogging, and every developer sees their own data.
Unique Challenges of Software Teams
Engineering teams face distinct questions about their time. Focus answers them with data developers can see too.
Where Do the Hours Go?
Between the editor, the terminal, the browser, chat and calls, nobody knows how much of the week goes where.
Unseen Overtime
Long hours don't always mean visible output. Engineers work late and at weekends without managers noticing.
Estimation Blind Spots
Without time data per project and task, estimates and client quotes stay guesswork.
How Focus Helps Software Teams
What Focus records and reports, applied to engineering work.
Productivity Rules for Your Tools
Mark editors, terminals and other tools as productive, unproductive or neutral, and override the company rules for a team. New apps start as neutral.
IDE & Tool Tracking
Records which application is in the foreground and for how long, whether VS Code, IntelliJ, Xcode or the terminal. See where engineering hours go.
Time per Project and Task
Track time on projects and tasks with the timer in the dashboard or the desktop app, or assign tracked time to projects afterwards. Projects, hourly rates and costs are part of Pro.
Workload Alerts
Premium alerts for long weeks, overtime several days in a row, and night or weekend work. Off until your organization's owner turns them on.
Remote Team Visibility
The Team page shows who is online, away, offline or in private time and which app each person is using, updated about every minute. Each person's day splits in their own time zone.
Privacy-First Design
No keylogging. Developers can read what is recorded and see their own day in My Focus. Screenshots are off by default and taken only with consent.
What You Can Achieve
What engineering teams can do with their own time data.
Hours per client and project, with hourly rates and project costs in Pro and client invoices in Premium.
Time in Zoom, Microsoft Teams and other call apps shows up like any other app, so you see how much of the week goes to calls.
Weekly hours and overtime per team over time help you explain when the team needs more capacity.
Export hours by person, app, project or overtime to Excel (xlsx), CSV or PDF, or send reports by e-mail on a schedule.
See which tools are actually used. Cut wasteful subscriptions and standardize on what works.
The desktop app runs on Windows, macOS and Linux, so the same reports cover people in the office and at home.
Security and Data Protection
Built for teams that take data security seriously.
Data Subject Requests
Handle access, export and erasure requests in the dashboard and see who viewed whose data.
Encrypted Connections and Backups
Browsers and the desktop app connect over HTTPS (TLS). Backups and screenshots are stored encrypted.
Tenant Isolation
Each company's data is kept separate at the database level.
Single sign-on (SSO) Pilot
Premium: sign in with your company's identity provider over OpenID Connect or SAML. Currently enabled only for pilot organizations.
