A Clockify alternative built for teams that need evidence, not just hours.
Clockify is a capable timer and timesheet. Colabio keeps that and attaches screenshots, activity levels, and observed apps to each entry, suggests the task when you drift, and turns timesheets into invoices.
Free for individuals. Team plans from $5 per seat per month on annual billing, with a free trial.
Duration plus whatever was typed in the description.
Same timer, with screenshots, activity level, and apps attached.
Why a timer and a description stop being enough
A timer records how long, and a typed note records what someone remembered to write. Neither tells a lead what the hour contained. Colabio pairs each tracked slot with its screenshots, apps, and an AI task suggestion so entries explain themselves.
Everything a timer does, plus the context.
Three product decisions that differentiate Colabio from Clockify.
Entries With Evidence
Screenshots, activity level, and observed apps and URLs attach to every tracked slot automatically while the timer runs.
AI Task Suggestions
When activity looks like a different task than the one selected, a card suggests it. Accept or dismiss; the timer never switches by itself.
Team Dashboard and Invoices
Daily updates, unusual-activity review, and invoices generated from timesheets, in the same workspace.

The Colabio commitments
Four rules for tracking that respects the people being tracked.
1. You See What We Capture
Every screenshot and activity level is visible to the member it belongs to, in the same dashboard.
2. No Keylogging
Input events are counted for an activity level, never recorded as text. App names and URLs are observed; file contents are not.
3. Suggestions, Not Switches
AI can propose a task. Only you can change the timer.
4. Timesheets You Can Defend
Entries carry their own evidence, so nobody has to reconstruct a week from memory.
