How it works

From sign-up to shared dashboard in four steps.

Tempo is deliberately thin. There's no project setup wizard, no billing rates to configure, no integrations to wire up before you can answer the question: where did my time go?

The flow

What the first week actually looks like.

01

Sign in, start a timer

Create an account in seconds. Hit the menu-bar icon, type what you're working on, and you're tracking.

Tempo auto-creates the project and task if they don't exist — you never stop to set things up first.

02

Plan your week, loosely

Drop the things you intend to do onto a simple kanban. Drag to reprioritise. Check off when done.

No stories, no sprints, no sub-sub-tasks. Just what you said you'd do — and whether you actually did.

03

See where your time went

Your dashboard shows today, this week, this quarter — broken down by project and task, no setup required.

Honest totals. No gamified streaks. Pairs well with a weekly coffee and some humility.

04

Share the story

Generate a public link. Clients and teammates see a beautiful, live read-only dashboard — no logins, no screenshots.

Revoke the token any time. Great for consultants billing honestly and makers showing their work.

Ready when you are

Try it for a week.

If it hasn't earned its place by Friday, delete it.
