Today is May Day, a global holiday honoring workers. So here is a question: by Friday, how much of your actual work this week will you even remember? Worktrace builds a daily record of your work automatically. It traces activity across tools you already use, like Calendar, GitHub, and Jira, with metadata only. No content. No timers. No manual logging. Make your labor visible. Free at...

How honest is your weekly status update, really? Most of us reconstruct the week from memory by Friday afternoon. We round up, fill in gaps, and call it done. It is not dishonest, exactly. It is just guessing. This National Honesty Day, consider what an actual record of your work would look like. Worktrace builds one automatically from metadata in tools you already use, your calendar, GitHub,...

It is International Dance Day, and dancers have something most engineers do not: a complete record of every move they made. Worktrace fixes that. It connects to your calendar, GitHub, Jira, and other tools you already use, then builds your daily work log automatically from the metadata those tools already generate. No timers. No manual notes. Nothing invasive. Your work tells its own story....

For a limited time only, every Worktrace plan is completely free for early adopters. That includes full access to integrations like GitHub, Jira, and Microsoft Calendar, plus PDF reports, weekly digests, and extended history. No timers, no manual logging, and no access to your actual content. Just metadata, turned into a daily work log you review and approve. If reconstructing your week for...

Happy Friday. Now comes the part where you try to remember what you actually did this week. If you are a contractor or freelancer, that exercise directly affects your invoice. If you are an engineer or tech lead, it is standups, retros, and status updates. Either way, it should not take this long. Worktrace automatically builds a daily work log by tracing metadata across your calendar, issue...

My calendar tracked my meetings. Nothing tracked the other 6 hours. So I built something that does.
I have been a software engineer for 25 years and an engineering manager for 6. I know how to build things. What I could never figure out was how to remember everything I built, reviewed, commented on, or responded to on any given day. My calendar tracked meetings fine. Everything else just disappeared. PR reviews, Jira comments, ad hoc requests from leadership, performance review prep, one-off...

How much time do you waste remembering what you worked on? For most engineers, technical leads, and contractors, the answer is more than it should be. Reconstructing timelines for standups, performance reviews, and client reports pulls you away from actual work. Worktrace solves this quietly, in the background. It connects to the tools you already use: Google Calendar, GitHub, Jira, Azure...

Do you actually know what you worked on last Tuesday? If you are a contractor, freelancer, engineer, tech lead, or engineering manager, you probably have a rough idea but reconstructing a complete, accurate record means bouncing between Jira, GitHub, your calendar, and your memory. Worktrace automatically does that work for you. It connects to the tools you already use and automatically builds...

Stop guesstimating your work. Worktrace solves the "Friday Afternoon Problem" by automatically reconstructing your professional timeline from tool metadata you already use. No manual timers or intrusive monitoring. Privacy-first: Captures metadata, never screen content. Integrates with GitHub, Jira, Azure DevOps, Bitbucket & Google Calendar/Drive. Human-in-the-loop: You approve suggestions before logging. Generate defensible, one-click reports for standups, retros, and client billing.

Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I’m the founder of Worktrace.io, and I’m thrilled to share what we’ve been building. What inspired you to build this? The inspiration came from my own "Friday Afternoon Problem"—that universal feeling of dread when you have to fill out a timesheet or prepare for a sprint retrospective and realize you have no memory of what you actually did on Tuesday morning. I tried manual...
