Time Entry - Tags, not Tasks

Don't get stuck with an inflexible task-centric system that forces you to tie your time entry to one task from a defined set. Tempo uses tags - they're infinitely flexible and provide all the granularity you need.

Projects - There's No I in Team

Every Tempo user has an individual account so they own their time. You can invite anyone to join your project team (even folks on free plans). Time is shared between team members so that everyone can use the same information for billing, estimation, and tracking. Never double enter time again!
