Keito works alongside Trello as the dedicated billing layer for teams that manage projects on Trello boards but need a separate, client-facing time record. Track the work that Trello cards represent — not just who moved the card.

Trello manages the work. Keito records it in billing language the client understands.
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.
Billing alongside Trello
Trello is excellent for visualising work as it moves through stages. But Trello cards don't tell clients how long each card took, who worked on it, and whether that time is billable. Keito sits alongside Trello as the billing record layer: delivery teams reference Trello boards and cards in their time entries, and the billing record is built in Keito as the work progresses. When the sprint closes, the billing evidence is already there.
Reference Trello board and card names when logging time in Keito for delivery context
Separate billable implementation from non-billable planning and internal work
Produce client summaries tied to Trello project language without exposing internal card details
Workflow fit
Keito keeps trello 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.
Time capture method
Deliberate time entry with Trello board and card references for billing context.
Trello's built-in time features are not designed for client billing approval workflows.
Billing review
Approval step separates billable delivery from non-billable planning before invoicing.
Without a dedicated billing layer, teams rebuild billing records from Trello activity logs manually.
Client reporting
Export client-ready summaries grouped by project and deliverable — not raw card movement data.
Trello reports show card activity, not billable time by client engagement.
The most effective approach is to use Keito alongside Trello. When logging time in Keito, reference the Trello board and card names so the billing record reflects the delivery context. Keito keeps the billing record separate from the task management view that Trello provides.
Keito works alongside Trello as a separate billing workspace. Teams continue using Trello for project management and task flow while capturing client billing records in Keito. This keeps the billing record clean and client-facing without mixing it with internal task management.
Yes. When logging time in Keito, you can tag entries with the Trello project and board as the project context. This lets you produce billing summaries grouped by Trello project without needing to export and reprocess Trello data.
Trello is a task management and workflow visualisation tool. It does not have a billing approval workflow, client-facing time summaries, or flat-rate pricing for the finance and management team members who need to review and approve billable work. A dedicated billing layer fills this gap.
