Track billable hours for Clio-managed clients in Keito.
Clio manages your cases and client relationships. Keito tracks the billable hours, reviews time before invoicing, and keeps the billing evidence clean alongside your Clio workflows.
clio time tracking needs more than a timer. The billing record has to keep client, project, approval, and invoice context together before the work reaches finance.
Keep delivery context attached to time
Group work by client, project, issue, branch, or repository reference so time reports explain what changed, not just who was online.
Review engineering work before billing
Use approvals and project summaries to catch unassigned work, non-billable research, and time that needs a clearer client note.
Report the work in client language
Export clean summaries that connect delivery activity to project budgets, retainers, and invoices without exposing internal noise.

Legal billing accuracy
Use Clio for case management and Keito for billing accuracy
Clio is the leading legal practice management platform for managing matters, contacts, documents, and client communications. But the billing accuracy challenge for law firms — capturing every billable minute, reviewing entries before invoices go out, ensuring time is attributed to the right matter — requires a dedicated time tracking layer. Keito gives law firms that layer: structured time capture by client and matter, a review step before billing closes, and export-ready summaries that support the invoices Clio helps prepare.

What Keito adds to clio time tracking
Developer-friendly time context
Keito is designed for technical teams that need billing records to reflect real delivery work without pushing every developer into finance tooling. The Keito CLI, GitHub Action, and Agent Skill log time from the terminal, CI jobs, pull requests, and AI coding sessions directly.

Billable status by task
Client-ready exports
Billing and project reporting in one flow
Use tracked engineering work for invoice backup, project profitability, and retainer reviews without stitching together several spreadsheets.

Compare the workflow
The difference is not just recording time. It is whether the record can support billing, project decisions, and client conversations.
AreaKeitoTypical setup
Case management vs billing time accuracy
Keito keeps clio time tracking tied to clients, projects, billable status, approvals, and billing summaries in one workspace.
Typical setups capture time in one tool and rebuild the billing explanation later from exports, comments, or spreadsheet cleanup.
Review before invoicing
Managers review entries before they become invoice evidence, so missing context is fixed internally rather than during a client dispute.
Raw timer exports usually reach finance before delivery leads have confirmed whether the work is billable, complete, or client-ready.
Predictable team pricing
Flat-rate plans let delivery staff, reviewers, contractors, and finance users participate without per-seat pricing friction.
Per-seat time trackers make teams choose between clean billing participation and controlling tool spend.
What is the best way to manage clio time tracking?
Use a workspace where time is captured against the right client and project, reviewed before invoicing, and exported as billing evidence. Keito is built around that workflow, so clio time tracking is not separated from the approval and invoice context it needs.
Can Keito help with clio time tracking?
Yes. Keito tracks work by client, project, person, billable status, and review state, then turns approved records into client-ready summaries. That makes it useful when clio time tracking needs to support billing, profitability, and client reporting rather than just attendance.
How is this different from a generic timer?
A generic timer records duration. Keito records billable context: who did the work, which client and project it belongs to, whether it has been reviewed, and how it should appear in billing evidence.
