What is timesheet software?
Timesheet software records how many hours each person worked, on which day, and on what. Instead of typing hours into a sheet on Friday from memory, people track time as they work, against a client, project or task. Managers check the hours, approve corrections, and use the totals to plan work, check project costs and keep attendance records.
Most timesheet tools capture time in one of three ways:
- A timer or desktop tracker.that records time while someone works on a task.
- Manual entries.for work done away from the computer.
- Clock in and clock out.for attendance, often from a phone.

Employee timesheet software for Indian teams
Employee timesheet software records the hours each person on a team worked, on which day and on which project or task. Managers approve time corrections, and the totals sit next to attendance and leave. In Trakkar, those timesheets come from time tracked in the Windows and macOS desktop app, plus any time people add manually on the web, at ₹120/user/month + GST.
You can try every module for 14 days, for any number of users, with no credit card. Some teams call this timesheet management software.
Spreadsheet timesheet or timesheet software
A shared spreadsheet works for a small team. It gets harder once you're chasing sheets every week, fixing project names typed three different ways, and adding up totals by hand.
| Spreadsheet timesheet | Trakkar | |
|---|---|---|
| How hours get in | Typed in by each person, often from memory | Tracked against projects and tasks in the desktop app |
| Fixing mistakes | Anyone with access edits the cell | Time correction request, approved by a manager |
| Attendance and leave | A separate register or sheet | In the same tool, with one approval queue |
| Hours by project | Totals you add up yourself | Grouped by project and task as you track |
| Project cost | Worked out by hand | Cost to date and margin on each project's Budget tab |
| Price | Free | ₹120/user/month + GST |

How timesheets work in Trakkar
- Install the desktop app on Windows or macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel). A Linux version is coming soon. Get it from the download page. Trakkar also runs on the web.
- Track time against a project and task. Every session belongs to a person, a date, a project and a task, so the week's timesheet is already grouped by project.
- See idle time. The desktop app flags idle time. Project cost still counts each session's full length.
- Keep working when the internet drops. If you lose your connection, a running timer keeps going and your time syncs when you're back online. Screenshots pause while offline.
- Correct hours through a request. If someone needs to fix their time, they send a time correction request and their manager approves it.
Phone apps, boards and standups
The Android and iOS apps handle clock-in, clock-out and leave requests. They are not a general task timer. Screenshots and app/URL tracking are desktop only. They're on by default, and admins can turn each off for any person.
Work is planned on a Kanban board with your own status columns, or on a timeline (Gantt-style) view of tasks by project. An async daily standup fills in from yesterday's tasks and time, with blockers and nudges, so everyone stays up to date without a morning call.
Once the week is grouped, you can move to team and task reports that do not start as a spreadsheet export.
Attendance, leave and approvals next to the timesheet
- One queue for every request.Leave, WFH, time corrections, overtime and expenses all go to Time > Requests > To approve.
- Overdue first.Overdue requests come first, then the ones waiting longest.
- Approve from your phone.Managers can approve requests from the mobile app.
- Attendance in the same place.Staff clock in and out on the Android and iOS apps, next to the hours they track.
- Shifts and grace periods.If you also run shifts, see shift management software.

Clock-in, shifts and leave sit in the same plan as the timesheet. See time and attendance software for India.
From timesheet to project cost
Set an hourly cost for each person, with effective dates, and a project rate where it differs. For each project, enter its fixed contract value. Its Budget tab then shows value, cost to date, profit and margin, with a health badge: On track, Margin thin, Loss or No value set. Cost is each session's hours multiplied by that day's cost rate, with overtime multiplied too. Budget burn is tracked in hours.

Frequently asked questions
What is timesheet software?
Timesheet software records how many hours each person worked, on which day and on what task, project or client. Managers check the hours and approve corrections, and the totals feed planning, project costs and attendance records.
Which timesheet software works well for Indian businesses?
It depends on what you need. If you run a service business and want timesheets, attendance, leave and project costs in one tool priced in rupees, Trakkar is built for that.
Does Trakkar fill in timesheets for desktop work?
The desktop app records time while the timer runs, so you don't type hours in by hand. When staff track time in the Trakkar desktop app on Windows or macOS, each session goes onto their timesheet under its project and task. If hours need fixing, the person sends a time correction request for their manager to approve.
Can employees use Trakkar from their phone?
Yes, for attendance and leave. The Android and iOS apps handle clock-in, clock-out and leave requests. Time against tasks is tracked in the desktop app.
How do timesheet approvals work in Trakkar?
Managers approve their direct reports' time correction requests and leave. Time tracked in the desktop app goes onto the timesheet as it is tracked, and any change to it goes through a correction request.
Is there free timesheet software in India?
Yes. Some tools have free plans, and Trakkar offers a free weekly timesheet template in Excel and CSV. Trakkar itself has no free plan, but you can try every feature free for 14 days with no credit card needed.
How much does Trakkar timesheet software cost?
Trakkar has one plan, Premium, at ₹120 per user per month plus GST. You pay upfront for 6 months at ₹114 or 12 months at ₹108 per user per month. A 10 person team on a 12 month term pays ₹12,960 plus GST.
What is employee timesheet software?
It records the hours each person on a team worked, on which day and on which project or task. A manager approves corrections and sees the totals next to attendance and leave. Trakkar does this for Indian businesses at ₹120/user/month + GST, with a 14-day free trial for any number of users and no credit card.
How is employee timesheet software different from a spreadsheet?
In a spreadsheet, people often type hours from memory at the end of the week, and project names drift. Timesheet software builds the timesheet from time tracked against a project and task as the work happens, and a manager approves any correction. In Trakkar, attendance and leave are in the same tool, with requests in one approval queue.
Can employee timesheet software cover attendance, leave and shifts?
Yes, in Trakkar. People clock in from the web app or the phone app, and admins choose which ones the team can use. Leave, WFH, time corrections, overtime and expenses go to one approval queue. If you run shifts, you can set them up with grace periods.
