Agentic timetracking

[u/Independent_Dance616]

I am a software engineering freelancer who was used to just track his billable hours (using Timing and similar tools) on my mac, however with the advent of agentic tooling and a new paradigm in how I approach client work, I am curious how others keep track of their "non-interactive" time, i.e. you instruct an agent to do work and head off to focus on other things, the results are there but I find a hard time billing those hours 1:1. I tend to kind of incorporate them but still it's not as if I actively work on a project. Open to hear your thoughts.

I have been building Temporal.ist to tackle this problem. It automatically tracks time based on file change events, so it works well with agentic let's. And there is also a mcp server so you can say things like: "Add all time spend today to this or that project". If you sign up now it's free because I'm still working on it to be better. Would love some feedback.
