Structure & Freedom
Professional time tracking. Reimagined for every structure.
A typical working day is made up of countless moments — from the strategic consulting session to the hands-on core task. Whatever the company size, corporations, agencies and freelancers all face the same question at day's end: which activities go into which budget, what stays internal, and where are we missing the notes that back up the invoice?
This is exactly where time tracking loses its lightness in day-to-day work. daagwerk frees this process from administrative friction. We combine uncompromising data security, multi-tenant isolation and German hosting with a pared-back, keyboard-first interface. The result is a tool that adapts fluidly to any form of organisation — from a single initiative to a complex client ecosystem.
Come along through a day like this. Or take the shortcut.
Lightning-fast search
Just three letters to get started.
Coffee steaming, head clear. Lina wants to get to work without delay — instead of struggling through rigid, three-tier dropdown menus. She simply types three letters into the search field — say “Web”. While she's still typing, daagwerk combs through accounts, projects and jobs simultaneously and delivers precise matches in a split second. A click or a tap on the Enter key is enough, and the right timer starts running. That's how simple professional time tracking can be, when the software works with you instead of getting in your way.
Lina Freelancer Real multi-tasking with parallel timers
The call, mid-flow.
In the middle of a complex conceptual phase, the phone rings. Another client has a “quick question”. Instead of scrambling to stop the current project timer, saving notes on the side, or laboriously estimating the entry later, Lina simply starts a second timer alongside it. daagwerk supports unlimited concurrent time stamps and keeps the trails cleanly separated. When Lina hangs up, the original project time resumes seamlessly. At day's end, the invoice adds up down to the second.
Lina Freelancer Planned vs actual — the workload dashboard
The real week's workload, at a glance.
A new client request lands on the desk — but how much capacity really remains until Friday? Lina glances at her personal workload dashboard. Here she sees her tracked actual hours mirrored in real time against her stored work-time schedule. The system thinks along with her: statutory holidays for her state, plus individually entered vacation or sick days, are automatically factored in and reduce the target to zero day by day. She sees at once how much real buffer remains for new tasks — no calendar-flipping needed.
Lina Freelancer The (mobile) quick start
The quick start, anywhere, anytime.
On a construction site, minutes matter — not complicated menus. Nadja is out and about, checking in on different trades. Instead of laboriously estimating the time back at the office later, she simply pulls out her phone and starts the quick-start timer right there, wherever she is — no form, no immediate project assignment. The captured time flows safely into her private inbox and only gets classified once the day quiets down. That way, not a single billable second slips through the chaos of the day.
Nadja Blanc Architect First-class compliance
Purchase orders & budgets that think ahead.
The client references a specific purchase order — just as the current project budget is drawing to a close. On large engagements, advisory work and delivery often run for months or years, but they receive new budgets, rates and validity windows along the way. daagwerk treats purchase orders (POs) as first-class entities with fixed hour or money limits. The everyday highlight: when a booking exceeds a PO's limit, the system automatically splits the booking on the time axis. The exact portion fills up the exhausted PO, while the remainder flows seamlessly into the successor PO or into the open billing pool.
Nadja Blanc Architect Team booking & bulk edit
One effort for five people. One click for you.
The two-hour site meeting with the client went well — four colleagues were there in person. Instead of every team member now typing in the same booking, formatting it, and getting the assignment wrong, the system handles the work collectively. With advanced bulk editing and proxy booking, managers can create entries for multiple users at once — or correct existing group bookings as a block. Whether it's date, time, free-text notes or the precise job assignment: a single central change writes the data cleanly into every participant's account.
Nadja Blanc Architect Text templates & snippets
Terms and phrases nobody types twice.
Every week, the same wording: “weekly sync”, “project controlling” or “change-request specification”. Anyone who cares about precise records of service loses far too much time on repeated typing. daagwerk solves this with intelligent text templates that can be stored globally, per account, or directly for specific jobs. One click in the notes field, pick a template, and the comment sits in the system without error. That saves precious seconds and delivers crystal-clear reports that go straight to the client — no rework required.
Team Nord Ad agency Automatic timer stops
The timer that knows when to clock off.
Laptop closed, off into the weekend — and the timer keeps running unnoticed in the background. Come Monday, you're left sorting through and trimming absurd 60-hour bookings. Instead of relying on flaky browser tracking or mouse-movement surveillance, daagwerk uses a reliable, server-side safeguard. Users configure their own maximum runtime, fixed lunch breaks, or personal end-of-day. Company-wide end-of-day times can be stored precisely and in a timezone-aware way too. When a threshold is reached, the server ends the timer automatically and applies the appropriate rounding rule right away.
Team Nord Ad agency RETROACTIVE PRECISION
Forgotten bookings, backfilled in seconds.
A spontaneous morning meeting or a productive offline sprint on the train — in the heat of the moment, sometimes you just forget to start the timer. No reason to bend your workflow after the fact. A direct sidebar modal lets you add bookings manually with exact start and end times, in no time at all. And because team collaboration has to stay flexible, the proxy principle kicks in here: managers and admins can capture forgotten time directly for colleagues via a convenient user dropdown. The person's stored rounding rule is applied instantly in the background.
Team Nord Ad agency PROACTIVE CONTROLLING
React before the budget catches fire.
In the density of everyday project work, the rude awakening often comes only at invoicing time — when budgets have been overrun unnoticed. daagwerk tracks hour and money budgets in real time and visualises the current state through dynamic colour changes — from green to yellow to red — right within the system. But the software doesn't stay passive: as soon as critical milestones like the 80 % threshold are reached, a quota is fully exhausted, or a stored validity period expires, the system raises the alarm proactively. Automated notifications go straight to the responsible account managers and customer-success contacts — in time, before questions arise with the client.
Team Nord Ad agency CROSS-PLATFORM SYNCHRONISATION
One tap is all it takes.
An intense afternoon session at the client's has just ended. Dr. Behrens doesn't need to pull out his phone or open his laptop to log the effort cleanly. daagwerk has been designed as a cross-platform system from day one: alongside the responsive web interface, a native SwiftUI app for iPhone and a dedicated watchOS app deliver maximum freedom in a mobile day. Thanks to token transfer via WatchConnectivity, data syncs smoothly in the background. A quick tap on the Apple Watch complication is enough to stop the running strategy-workshop timer — or to start favourites straight from the wrist.
Dr. Behrens Management consultant Status workflow & audit safety
The weekly or monthly close in a matter of minutes.
Friday afternoon at the office — time for the final review. All of the team's captured times need to be scanned, incomplete notes corrected via inline edit right in the list view, and billing statuses assigned. daagwerk carries the data through a clear, audit-safe lifecycle: from Booked through Reviewed to Invoiced or Cancelled. Once the data is validated, the transactional period lock kicks in: completed weeks and months are rigorously blocked against further changes. For downstream processing, every path is open to you — as a configurable premium PDF with freely chosen column presets, or as a structured CSV, JSON or XML export for your accounting and ERP systems.
Dr. Behrens Management consultant SOLID DATA FOUNDATION
Dashboards & the reporting close.
When the desk is empty and the laptop closes, what remains is the good feeling of a perfectly organised working week. The green check on the screen stands for the completion of a process that used to devour valuable resources. daagwerk turns the time stamps captured throughout the day into precise business insights. Through the dashboard and the powerful filters of the reporting tools, hours logged, project budgets and profitability can be analysed at fine granularity — by day, week or year. Whether for gap-free client records, internal controlling statistics, or well-founded strategic decisions: your data is cleanly sorted, tamper-proof, and ready to hand at any time.
Good night Everyone And tomorrow?
