Pick your featuresGood fit
We can build almost all of Toggl.
Most of Toggl is buildable as a custom app, but the native desktop/mobile apps, calendar sync, AI chat and integrations with Jira/Asana/Slack are the parts we cannot replicate cheaply.

What Toggl does
Read from Toggl’s public website. Each feature is marked with what we can honestly build.
Time tracking
- Online work timerStart a timer, log hours after the fact, or fill in a week at a time.
- Automated trackingRecords app and site usage on a timeline and turns selected activity into time entries.We can't build this. Requires a native desktop agent recording other apps; desktop apps and system activity capture are not buildable in a browser.
- Calendar view with calendar syncSee time entries alongside Google and Outlook calendar events and convert events to entries.Needs an outside service: Google Calendar and Microsoft Graph APIs. Calendar OAuth sync is possible but needs Google/Microsoft app setup; automatic background tracking is cut.
- Idle detectionPrompts the user when the timer runs while the device is idle.Simplified version. Browser-tab idle detection only; device-level idle is not available.
- Timesheets with approvalsGenerate timesheets per member and let approvers accept or request changes.
- Goals and remindersRecurring time targets and alerts when logged time passes or misses a threshold.Needs an outside service: Resend. In-app progress is buildable; email reminders need a transactional email service.

- Profitability reportsCombine billable time with labor cost to show revenue, cost, profit and margin.

What you’d bring
We write all the code. These features only work on outside services, and those accounts are yours to open and pay for directly.
Sending notification emails: Resend
Free allowance, then pennies per thousand emails. Billed by the provider.
AI features: OpenAI or Anthropic API
Pay per use, billed to your own account by the model provider. Our Claude credits are never used.
Taking payments: Stripe
A percentage per transaction, taken by the payment provider.
Syncing with Google or Outlook calendars: Google Calendar and Microsoft Graph APIs
Free to call. Your time is the cost: the review and token maintenance.
Syncing Gmail or Outlook inboxes: Gmail API and Microsoft Graph
Free to call. The review, and the yearly re-assessment Google requires, is the real cost. A sync provider like Nylas charges per connected inbox and handles the review for you.
Enterprise single sign-on: WorkOS
Usually priced per connected company. Billed by the provider.
What we can’t build
- Automated tracking. Requires a native desktop agent recording other apps; desktop apps and system activity capture are not buildable in a browser.
