Grouped by client and project
FreshBooks sends the invoice. Keito makes sure every hour in that invoice has been reviewed first.
Group work by client, project, issue, branch, or repository reference so time reports explain what changed, not just who was online.
Use approvals and project summaries to catch unassigned work, non-billable research, and time that needs a clearer client note.
Export clean summaries that connect delivery activity to project budgets, retainers, and invoices without exposing internal noise.
Time tracking for FreshBooks users
FreshBooks has a built-in time tracker, but many FreshBooks users find it lacks the approval workflow and project context needed for billing-grade records. When clients question an invoice, the answer needs to come from a time record that shows who worked on what, when it was done, and that it was reviewed before reaching the invoice. Keito provides that record — and the reviewed summary exports cleanly into your FreshBooks invoicing workflow.
Track time with full client, project, and task context before it reaches FreshBooks
Run a billing review to catch missing context and non-billable entries
Export a clean billing summary that matches your FreshBooks project and client structure
Workflow fit
Keito keeps freshbooks time tracking connected to client, project, billable status, approval, and invoice context before the work reaches finance.

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.
Managers can separate billable implementation, non-billable discovery, support, and internal work before reports leave the team.
Use tracked engineering work for invoice backup, project profitability, and retainer reviews without stitching together several spreadsheets.
The difference is not just recording time. It is whether the record can support billing, project decisions, and client conversations.
Approval workflow
Dedicated billing review separates invoiceable time from non-billable and disputed work.
FreshBooks built-in time tracking does not have a team-level approval workflow.
Team billing
Add team members, contractors, and reviewers at a flat rate without per-seat cost escalation.
FreshBooks per-user pricing makes it expensive to include all contributors in the billing workflow.
Project context
Every time entry carries client, project, task, and billing status for invoice backup.
FreshBooks time entries are invoice-focused rather than project-delivery focused.
Yes. Keito captures and reviews billable hours by client and project, and you export the reviewed billing summary to use as the basis for your FreshBooks invoice. The two tools work together: Keito handles the time capture and approval, FreshBooks handles the invoice.
FreshBooks is an invoicing and accounting tool. Its built-in time tracker is designed for simple invoice creation, not for team-level billing workflows with approvals, project budget tracking, and client-specific reporting. Keito fills this gap for teams that need billing-grade time records.
No. Keito is the time tracking and billing review layer; FreshBooks remains your invoicing and accounting tool. Teams continue creating and sending invoices in FreshBooks, using reviewed time data from Keito as the billing evidence.
Freelancers using FreshBooks typically track time in multiple places and consolidate it at invoice time. Keito creates a single, reviewed billing record per client and project — making the FreshBooks invoice preparation faster and the billing evidence stronger if a client questions the invoice.
