Kronos

Accurate time tracking is the foundation of project profitability for agencies and freelancers, and the key to sprint velocity data for product teams. Lodos Kronos gives every team member a one-click start/stop timer for tracking time against specific tasks and projects, with full support for manual entry when time was spent away from the workspace. Every time log is categorized by project and task automatically, building a structured record of where hours are being spent without requiring manual organization.

Team-level time tracking gives managers the visibility to spot overloaded contributors, understand true project costs against estimates, and make more accurate scoping decisions on future work. Project-level time analytics aggregate individual logs into total hours by project, breaking down contributions by team member and task type. These reports are exportable for client billing, internal accounting, or retrospective analysis — formatted for use rather than just raw data.

The biggest advantage of Kronos over standalone time tracking tools like Toggl is context. When a timer is running in Kronos, it is linked to an actual task on the Task Management board — not just a free-text description typed from memory. Time data and task data are unified, so project reporting reflects both what was planned and how long it actually took. Stopping a timer can trigger a task status update. Reviewing time logs can open the linked task card with one click. Time tracking that lives inside your workflow gets used; time tracking in a separate app gets forgotten.
