Track engineering work with GitHub context and billing discipline.
Keito helps software teams connect project time, repository context, approvals, and client billing summaries without turning commit history into the invoice.
GitHub is useful delivery evidence, but client billing needs a reviewed project record that explains the value of the work.
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.

Developer billing
Translate engineering activity into client-ready billing records
Commits and pull requests show that work happened, but they rarely explain the bill in client language. Keito gives teams a workflow for pairing engineering context with billable status, project budgets, and reviewed summaries.

What Keito adds to github 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
Engineering context
The Keito GitHub Action creates time entries from issues, PRs, reviews, and /time comments, keeping repository references on reviewed records.
Generic timers lose the link between code work and project billing.
Client language
Helps managers translate technical work before billing.
Commit messages can be too raw or too internal for invoices.
Team pricing
Flat pricing supports full delivery-team participation.
Per-seat developer tracking can get expensive quickly.
It can drive it. The Keito GitHub Action turns time labels, /time comments, and PR activity into billable time entries, while review in Keito adds the client, project, and billable status an invoice needs.
How should teams use GitHub context in client invoices?
Use it as supporting delivery evidence, then summarize the work in client language by milestone, feature, or project outcome.
Does Keito force developers to write finance-style notes?
No. Keito is designed to let delivery teams capture useful project context while managers prepare client-ready summaries during review.
What should teams compare before using GitHub time tracking for billing?
Before using GitHub time tracking for billing, teams should compare whether activity can become reviewed client, project, task, and approval records before anything reaches an invoice. Keito provides that billing layer so integration activity can support client reporting without exposing internal delivery noise.
What should a client-ready GitHub time tracking report include?
A client-ready GitHub time tracking report should include the client, project, task, contributor, billable status, approval state, and a concise explanation of completed work. Keito keeps those details connected so reports can answer client questions without exposing internal delivery notes.
