Your Fathom calls were billable work — capture them as client hours in Keito.
Fathom records and summarises your client meetings. Keito turns that meeting time into reviewed, client-attributed billable hours ready for an invoice.
fathom 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.

Billable meeting time
Fathom captures the conversation, but the billable time slips away
Fathom does an excellent job of recording client calls, transcribing them, and producing a summary — so the content of a meeting is well captured. What usually goes uncaptured is the billable time the meeting represents. Consultants finish a packed day of recorded client calls and then, hours or days later, try to remember which call belonged to which client and how long each ran, so meeting time is routinely under-billed or written off entirely. For advisory and agency teams whose product is largely conversation, that is real revenue evaporating. Keito turns Fathom-recorded meetings into structured billable hours. Meeting time is logged against the specific client and project it served, with enough context to explain the entry on an invoice, and a reviewer confirms it before it reaches the client. Because the meeting time sits in the same workspace as the rest of a project’s billable hours, teams see the full picture of what an engagement actually consumed — calls, delivery, and review together — rather than billing only the work that happened to be easy to remember. Fathom keeps the record of what was said; Keito makes sure the time it took is billed.

What Keito adds to fathom 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.
GitHub Action logs time from issues and PRs
CLI tracking for terminal and CI sessions
Repository and issue references on invoices
Review layer for client work
Managers can separate billable implementation, non-billable discovery, support, and internal work before reports leave the team.
Approval workflow
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.
Budget and margin context
Expense support
Flat team pricing

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
Billable meeting hours vs meeting time written off
Keito keeps fathom 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 fathom time tracking?
The best way to manage fathom time tracking is to capture work at source, attach it to the right client and project, review it before invoicing, and use the reviewed record as billing evidence. Keito is built around that workflow so time, approvals, and invoice context stay connected.
Can Keito help with fathom time tracking?
Yes. Keito helps with fathom time tracking by tracking work by client, project, task, person, billable status, and review state, then turning approved records into client-ready summaries. That makes the data useful for billing, profitability, and client reporting rather than just attendance.
How is Keito different from a generic timer for fathom time tracking?
Keito is different because it treats time as billing evidence, not just duration. A generic timer records how long something took; Keito records who did the work, where it belongs, whether it was reviewed, and how it should appear in client billing context.
Can fathom time tracking feed client billing reports?
Yes, fathom time tracking can support client billing reports when the captured activity is tied to client, project, task, and approval context. Keito is designed to keep integration-driven work attached to that billing record, so delivery activity can become a client-ready summary instead of an isolated activity log.
What should a client-ready fathom time tracking report include?
A client-ready fathom time tracking report should include the client, project, task, contributor, billable status, approval state, and a concise explanation of the work completed. Keito keeps those details connected so reports can answer client questions without exposing internal delivery noise.
