Capture Every Billable Minute Without the Administrative Burden

HiveDesk automatically tracks time while attorneys work on client matters using desktop, mobile, and browser apps. Set up projects for each client and matter, and attorneys allocate time as they switch between cases throughout the day. At the end of the billing period, generate per-client timesheets that show exactly how many hours were spent on each matter — broken down by attorney and task type.

Yes. Create separate projects for each client and matter — litigation, contracts, corporate transactions, and so on. Attorneys switch between client matters with one click, and HiveDesk tracks time per-matter automatically. You get accurate, per-client time reports for billing without any manual entry or end-of-day reconstruction.

HiveDesk tracks time continuously down to the minute. When you generate timesheets, the precise time records are available for review. Your firm can apply its own rounding rules (6-minute, 10-minute, or 15-minute increments) when preparing final invoices. The key advantage is that you start with accurate, automatically captured time data rather than reconstructed estimates.

Yes. Organize projects as billable (client matters) or non-billable (internal meetings, CLE, business development, admin). HiveDesk tracks both separately, so you can see each attorney's billable utilization rate and identify where non-billable time is reducing the firm's effective billing capacity.

HiveDesk auto-generates timesheets from tracked time data. Filter by client, matter, date range, or attorney. Partners and billing managers review and approve timesheets through a built-in approval workflow. Export approved timesheets as PDF or Excel — ready to attach to your client invoices or import into your billing software.

HiveDesk takes periodic screenshots while attorneys work. These serve as verifiable activity records that help partners confirm billed time was spent productively. For firms with remote or hybrid attorneys, screenshots provide accountability without micromanaging. Screenshot frequency is configurable, and attorneys always know when tracking is active.

HiveDesk integrates with Asana for task and project management. You can track time against Asana tasks, link hours to specific deliverables, and keep your workflow intact while getting accurate time data for billing. Timesheets can be exported in formats suitable for importing into your billing or practice management software.

HiveDesk has native apps for Windows, macOS, and Linux desktops, an iOS mobile app, a Chrome browser extension, and a web dashboard accessible from any browser. Attorneys can track time from whatever device they prefer — whether they are in the office, working from home, in court, or at a client site.

HiveDesk costs $5 per user per month — one plan that includes every feature. No tiers, no per-feature upsells, no hidden fees. You get time tracking, screenshots, scheduling, attendance, leave management, task tracking, timesheets, and reporting. There is a free 14-day trial with no credit card required.

HiveDesk uses enterprise-grade security practices including encrypted data storage, secure access controls, and GDPR compliance. Role-based permissions ensure that only authorized users can access time records and screenshots. All data transmission is encrypted, and your firm controls who sees what information.
