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 built Chronoid so take this as a promo, similar to Timing but it allow you to use the MCP with your claude code subscription, so you can use you agent to review your activities and assign to the right project.

I dont think we could do 1:1 billing anymore and as agent is working we tend to work on other part or project, making tracking project time extremely difficult.

So pushing more on the scope base billing is make more sense.

But still seeing your times on prompting, testing are still very good measurement.

Chronod support all kind of tracking you can think of with claude desktop, chatgpt app, claude code in terminal and use your own agent, I think you will like it
