Hubstaff

Hubstaff is a time tracking tool for distributed teams. It records hours on desktop, web and mobile, then turns approved hours into timesheets for payroll and client billing.

Team members start a timer or let the app capture time on company devices. Managers review the hours, approve timesheets and send payments based on those approved hours. The same data feeds reports on projects, tasks and costs, so finance teams can check totals before running payroll.

• Timers on desktop, web and mobile
• Automatic time capture on company devices
• Approved timesheets for payroll and invoices
• Project and cost reports
• Integrations with tools such as Jira, QuickBooks and Gusto
• API and MCP server for custom workflows

Agencies, staffing firms and businesses with remote or hourly workers. Operations and finance teams use it to get accurate hours without chasing spreadsheets. It is less of a fit for small teams that only need a simple personal timer.

Hubstaff offers a free 14-day trial with no credit card required. Productivity features such as activity tracking and focus time come with privacy controls that the employer sets. Review those settings before you roll the tool out to your team.
