Advisory by design

AI time tracking that suggests, never switches.

Colabio's AI checks whether your activity matches the task you selected. When it looks like something else, a small card suggests the task. You accept or dismiss it; the timer never changes by itself.

Free for individuals. Team plans from $5 per seat per month on annual billing, with a free trial.

Why automatic switching is the wrong kind of clever

A tracker that reassigns your time on its own is either right and invisible or wrong and infuriating. Colabio keeps the AI advisory: it reads app names, window titles, and URLs, proposes a task, and leaves the decision with you.

Help when you forgot to switch.

Three product decisions behind Colabio's AI.

Metadata In, Suggestion Out

The AI sees application names, window titles, and visited URLs. It returns a verdict and a short work description, nothing more.

Accept or Dismiss

A suggestion card appears in the desktop app. One click to create or switch the task, one to dismiss. Dismissed suggestions stay quiet.

Screenshot Analysis Is Opt-In

AI only looks at screenshots if a manager enabled it for that member. It is off by default.

The Colabio commitments

Four rules for AI inside a time tracker.

1. Advisory Only

The AI never creates, switches, or edits time on its own.

2. Metadata By Default

App names, titles, and URLs. Screenshots only when a manager enabled analysis for that member.

3. Visible Settings

Whether AI suggestions and screenshot analysis are on is a per-member setting the member can see.

4. Explainable Output

Every suggestion names the task it thinks you are on and why, in one line.
