New in Basecamp: Timesheet

Need to track time so you can bill your client? Need to make sure you're staying on budget? Want to know who's spending how much time on what?

Introducing Timesheet, an add-on that makes tracking time simple.

Over the past 10 years, we've heard many, many wishes for time tracking in Basecamp. Wish no longer, because it's here! It was a beloved add-on in Basecamp Classic and now it comes to Basecamp 4.

Track time by clicking the green timer at the top of to-dos, cards, docs, and more. Just type the hours, like 2:30 or 2.5, and add a note if you like. Done!

To capture work that happened elsewhere, add time to the project itself on the project home page. You can add hours for other people on the project, too, which is handy if they forgot.

The green timer shows the total hours for the project or the specific item. To view entries for the entire project, click the ••• menu on the project home page, then See the Timesheet. Don’t worry, clients don’t have access to Timesheet.

There’s also a new report under Activity that shows totals across your projects. Click Timesheets, then filter the report by project, person, or date range if needed. Download a CSV file to use the data elsewhere.

Timesheet is included in the Pro Unlimited plan or you can purchase the add-on for your account for $50/month for your entire team. If you're the account owner, visit Adminland and click the Timesheet preview to learn more.

Watch this short video to see how Timesheet works.

Now, your team can track time directly in Basecamp — no spreadsheets required. It's about time!
