Log time from Slack without losing billing context.
Use /keito to start and stop timers, log completed time, and check hourly project budgets. Available on Solo, Pro, and Business, with hours-only sharing to administrator-approved public internal channels.
An owner or administrator connects the Slack workspace from Settings โ Integrations โ Slack. Each member links their own Keito account before recording time.
Connect the workspace and your own account
An owner or administrator selects Add to Slack and reviews the permissions. Each member runs /keito connect and confirms their own account in Keito and Slack.
Record time against your project and task
Use /keito start, /keito stop, or /keito log. Keito applies your project access, notes policy, date restrictions, and timesheet locks.
Check hours and choose what to share
Use /keito budget for a private hourly summary. A linked administrator can confirm an hours-only post to an approved public internal channel the app has joined.

Slack billing
Keep time records close to the Slack conversations that describe the work
Start a timer while discussing the work, select an accessible Keito project and task, and add your own notes. The entry appears in the same Keito timesheets as web entries. Budget replies follow your current hourly-budget permissions, show hours only, and stay private unless a linked administrator approves a destination, reviews the exact post, and confirms the post. Keito queues the post for delivery. Keito does not read channel messages.
Log time from within the workflow instead of switching to a separate timer app
Choose an accessible project and task while recording your own notes
Run a quick review across Slack-logged entries before the billing period closes
Workflow fit
Logging friction
Keito keeps slack time tracking connected to client, project, billable status, approval, and invoice context before the work reaches finance.

What Keito adds to slack 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
04
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
Logging friction
Time can be captured close to the delivery conversation.
Separate time-tracking apps create context-switching overhead.
Entry quality
Add your own notes and select an accessible project and task.
Delayed entries often lose project detail.
Billing review
Managers can confirm billable status before invoice prep.
Slack alone has no billing review or approval flow.
Yes. Use /keito start, /keito stop, /keito log, and /keito status after linking your own account. The integration is generally available on Solo, Pro, and Business; an owner or administrator installs it from Keito settings.
Who can share a Keito budget to Slack?
Only a linked Keito owner or administrator can confirm an hours-only post to an administrator-approved public internal channel the app has joined. Private, archived, externally shared, Slack Connect, organisation-shared, and unapproved channels are excluded.
Does Slack replace a time tracker for client work?
No. Slack messages capture delivery conversations but do not track billable duration, project context, or provide the review and approval steps a billing workflow needs.
How do Slack-based teams handle billing reviews?
Teams can log time in Slack, then use Keito to review entries, confirm billable status, and prepare client summaries before the invoice period closes.
What should teams compare before using Slack time tracking for billing?
Before using Slack 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.
