Great engineering teams run on trust, clarity, and autonomy.
Colabio is a software management workspace for engineering teams. It tracks time with screenshots and activity levels, then adds the context those numbers lack: AI task suggestions, written daily updates, and an assistant you can ask. We built it because the alternatives stopped at the counts.
Why Colabio exists
Most team tracking software stops at the counts: hours, an activity percentage, a grid of screenshots. Those tell a lead that someone was busy, not what they were doing or why a day went sideways. Engineers know when they are being judged on input rather than on the work itself.
Colabio keeps the counts and adds the story. Tracked slots carry the task, the apps used, and an AI suggestion when activity drifts. Each member writes a short daily update beside their tracked time, and a lead can ask Claude or ChatGPT about the team instead of reading dashboards. Leads get signal; engineers get a fair account.
Our principles
The four commitments every Colabio feature is checked against.
Visible tracking
The desktop app shows when it is tracking, and every member can see their own time, screenshots, and activity levels in the dashboard.
No keylogging
Input events are counted for an activity level, never recorded as text. App names, window titles, and URLs are observed; file contents are not.
Advisory AI
When activity looks like a different task, the AI suggests it and the person decides. Nothing switches or gets flagged without a human seeing it.
Context over counts
Activity levels are shown with the tasks, apps, and written daily updates that explain them, never as a score on their own.
What we build
Time tracking with evidence
A desktop timer for macOS, Windows, and Linux that attaches screenshots, activity levels, and observed apps to each slot.
Timesheets and invoices
Tracked and manual time reviewed by the member, approved by a lead, and turned into client invoices.
Async daily standups
Written updates, by keyboard or voice, shown beside the day's tracked time so blockers surface without a meeting.
Colabio for Claude and ChatGPT
An MCP connector that lets you ask about your team's work in plain language.
