Automatic project time tracking

Qbserve makes it easy for freelancers to track billable time based on open documents and web pages.

1. Set project rules

Create rules to tell Qbserve when to track time for a specific project. Qbserve will track time for a project only if it finds a document path or browser address that contains a specific string you have configured (such as a project name).

2. Automatically track work time

Qbserve detects document paths in most Mac applications. It also detects web page addresses in Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and some other browsers. Qbserve uses the rules you set for it to track time on your projects.

3. Correction of Collected Data

At the end of your workday, you can allocate an unobserved time in your timesheet in less than a minute. Sites and tools that fail to enforce the rules you create for Qbserve generate unobserved screen time.

4. Create detailed invoice

Invoices are automatically generated based on the registration time, and you can customize them. Qbserve has many flexible billing options to suit your needs and 18 billing languages to choose from.

Flexible time management

Qbserve is built specifically for macOS and leverages the power of the operating system to provide the most accurate time tracking for Mac users.

Browser integration

Qbserve logs the sites you visit and can be configured to ignore private tabs. It can detect sites in Chrome and Safari, and you can install extensions to track sites in Firefox, Vivaldi, Opera, and Yandex Browser.

Qbserve also tracks YouTube videos and Reddit subscriptions separately, so you can categorize them as productive if needed.

Idle

Downtime is determined intelligently. If you use apps and websites in the Video & TV category, tracking will remain active. Qbserve also offers to manually enter time when you return to your Mac.

Data Export

The collected data can be exported to JSON and CSV formats. Exports can be scheduled to repeat automatically at specified intervals. For more information, see "Exporting a Temporary Worksheet."
