For Teams

Plan capacity on reality, not gut feel

TimeCampus is designed to give managers an aggregate, privacy-respecting view of how a team’s time is distributed across meetings, focus, and operational work — so planning and commitments are grounded in reality.

For Teams

Take back time lost to meeting overload

TimeCampus is designed to make the real, aggregate cost of meetings visible — hours, fragmentation, and lost focus — so teams can prune the calendar and give time back to the work that matters.

For Teams

Approve team timesheets with confidence

TimeCampus is designed to give leads a single approval queue for team timesheets — review submitted hours against captured activity, approve or send back with a reason, and keep billing and payroll running on accurate, signed-off time.

Insights & Reporting

Trade vanity metrics for honest insight

TimeCampus is designed to turn captured activity into clear trends — focus ratio, context-switching, deep-work hours — so insights drive real decisions instead of decorating a dashboard.

Generate trustworthy time reports in seconds

Because activity is captured automatically, TimeCampus is designed to produce accurate time summaries on demand — exportable for client billing, project retrospectives, or personal records — without reconstructing the week from memory.

Capture billable expenses alongside your time

TimeCampus is designed to let you record work expenses next to your captured time and attribute them to the right project — so client reports and invoices reflect both hours and costs, without a separate spreadsheet.

Compose the dashboard each role actually needs

TimeCampus is designed around composable widgets, so you can build real-time dashboards that surface exactly the time metrics each role cares about — instead of one fixed view that fits no one.

Connected Workflows

Unify every tool into one picture of the day

TimeCampus is designed to connect to the platforms you already use and unify their activity into one coherent timeline — so you stop stitching your day together across a dozen tabs.

Extend the platform with applets

TimeCampus is designed with an extensible applet model — modular mini-apps that add custom views, connectors, and automations — so teams can shape the platform to their own workflow.

Connected Workflows

Automate the routine handling of your time data

TimeCampus is designed with a workflow engine — triggers, conditions, actions, and outputs — so routine time-tracking work like categorisation, reminders, and scheduled reports happens automatically instead of eating your attention.

Run TimeCampus across teams with governance built in

TimeCampus is designed to run as a governed, multi-workspace platform — with roles, access control, and auditability inherited from the Burdenoff platform — so organisations can adopt it with confidence.

Let TimeCampus name the project behind each captured hour

Captured activity arrives as raw titles, apps and URLs — attribution is what makes it billable. TimeCampus is being built to score each event against your project names with a deterministic keyword classifier, then optionally ask an LLM to pick the best match and return a confidence; whichever path wins would be recorded next to the event as a suggestion, labelled with the method and the exact model that produced it. The suggested project would never become the real project until you accept it; the in-timeline accept/reject controls are still being built, so this is the attribution model the platform is working toward rather than a completed click-through workflow today.

Weekly suggestions that will never tell you to work more

TimeCampus already runs a weekly pass over your own tracked time and the balance targets you set, and produces a short list of suggestions — no unbroken deep-work block this week, focus ratio down against last week, a life domain sitting well below the share you asked for, time drifting from what you said matters. Each one carries the metrics it was derived from, so you can see exactly why it fired, and each can be accepted, snoozed or dismissed. The invariant that shapes the whole engine: any candidate whose net effect is more work is dropped before it is ever rendered.

Insights that show their evidence — and admit what they missed

A productivity number you cannot interrogate is a number you should not act on. The scoring already built into TimeCampus reports its own coverage alongside its result, returns no score at all rather than a fabricated one when you have declared nothing to align against, and tags every work-pattern insight as positive, neutral, a warning or a recommendation with the observation behind it. Classification carries the same discipline: each categorised event records whether a rule, a model, or you produced the label.

AI Native

Find the hours that quietly leaked out of your week

TimeCampus already buckets the time that went nowhere — the waiting and commuting you logged, activity it could not categorise, and the unaccounted gaps between tracked work — and reports how much of it is genuinely reclaimable. The honest part is what it refuses to count: sleep is never a bucket, and anything you marked as deliberately chosen is excluded from the reclaimable total, so rest is never rebranded as waste. What surfaces is a small number of real hours you can decide to spend differently.

AI Native

Ask the assistant about the screen you are already on

TimeCampus is being built with an assistant that can be invoked from any screen and receives a deliberately narrow slice of context — the current route, the entity it resolves to, the active tab and project — so questions like "what can I do here?" can resolve without you restating your situation. That context list is an allow-list by design: no user agent, no fingerprinting, nothing the agent does not need. Anything the assistant tries to do on your behalf would still pass the same permission checks your own clicks do. The evaluation set that would prove its answer quality on time questions is not built yet, so this is a target experience rather than a verified click-through workflow today.

Decide what the intelligence is allowed to see

In TimeCampus, consent is not a settings page bolted onto a model — it is the gate the capture pipeline checks before a single event is stored. Revoke a source and new activity from it stops being ingested, which means nothing downstream can infer from it. Personal recommendations are scoped to you alone, so a workspace or employer actor can never read them, and connected sources can be granted or withdrawn individually from one screen. Retroactively withdrawing insights already derived from a source you later revoked is committed direction, not something built today.
