Keito helps teams using Linear for issue management track time against projects, review client work, and prepare billing summaries without exporting cycle history manually.

Client summary prepared
By deliverable, not issue ID
Linear is a clean delivery tool. Billing still needs a review layer that separates what is client-billable from what is internal product work.
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.
Cycle billing
Linear teams often move fast but need to translate cycle output into billing language before clients receive invoices. Keito gives a review layer where cycle effort is confirmed, non-billable work is separated, and summaries are organized by what the client expects to see.
Pair tracked hours with Linear cycles without forcing engineers to use finance tools
Separate product roadmap work, client features, and support tickets for billing
Build client-ready delivery summaries without exposing internal issue labels
Workflow fit
Keito keeps linear time tracking connected to client, project, billable status, approval, and invoice context before the work reaches finance.

Build client-ready delivery summaries without exposing internal issue labels
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.
Cycle visibility
Time records can be paired with cycle or project context.
Linear cycles show velocity, not billing readiness.
Billable review
Managers confirm which work is client-billable during review.
Issue tracking tools do not have billing approval flows.
Invoice support
Client summaries follow delivery milestones.
Engineers may need to explain invoice items from memory.
Linear tracks issue progress and team velocity but does not manage billable duration, client context, approvals, or invoice summaries. A separate billing workflow is needed for client work.
Yes. Teams can use Linear to manage delivery and Keito to track time, review billable work, and produce client summaries.
Summarize reviewed time by deliverable milestone rather than raw issue keys. Keito helps teams review and reframe delivery context before it reaches client billing conversations.
