Automatic time capture

A finished entry, before anyone touches it
Hourglass classifies, writes, and checks each entry as the work is captured. Billing starts with a complete record instead of a blank timecard.
Grouped the way you bill
One entry per tracked moment, grouped by matter, or block billed. However your billers like a day to read, that is how it arrives.
Written for the bill
Narratives follow the client’s guidelines and the firm’s established voice. Firms set their own rules, from word limits to restricted terms to house phrasing, and every narrative is written to them.

100+ hours

Compliant before it is submitted
Every entry is checked against the client’s outside counsel guidelines as it is written, so problems are fixed before submission rather than after a deduction.

“Hourglass captures work that would otherwise go unbilled and lets me focus on the case work I enjoy instead of reconstructing my day. It’s the single best tool I’ve ever received for improving my work performance.”
