Automatic Time Tracking Software for
Digital Marketing Agencies
Zero manual timers. Backlsh runs quietly in the background, mapping every minute spent on Client A vs. Client B automatically. Maximize your agency's billable hours without annoying your creative team.
Creatives Don't Remember to Hit Start
Every forgotten timer is a line item that never makes it to the invoice — and it's quietly draining your agency's revenue.
The Context-Switch Trap
Designers jump between Figma, Google Ads Manager, and copywriting docs dozens of times a day. Each switch is a moment where the timer stops — or was never started.
End-of-Month Billing Gaps
When creatives reconstruct timesheets from memory at month-end, accuracy plummets. Client invoices shrink. Profit margins erode silently.
Team Morale vs. Accountability
Forcing creatives to manually log every task breeds resentment. You need accountability without the friction that kills flow states and creative momentum.
Every Client Minute Captured.
Automatically.
Backlsh installs once on each desktop and silently captures everything — application usage, website visits, active vs. idle time — and maps it to the correct client project without a single click from your team.
Automatic Activity Tagging
Backlsh learns which apps and URLs belong to which client. Figma opens → Client A time starts. Google Ads → Client B. Zero manual input.
Private Dashboard per Client
Each client project gets its own clean billing view — hours, apps used, and productivity breakdown — ready for transparent invoicing.
Offline Continuity
Client calls, local design work, offline content creation — all tracked locally and synced automatically when back online. No gaps.
Audit-Ready Timesheets
Generate client-ready billing reports in seconds. No more month-end scrambling or uncomfortable invoice disputes.
Up and Running in Under 5 Minutes
No IT team required. No lengthy onboarding. No behaviour change for your creatives.
Install the Desktop App
Lightweight background agent installs on each team member's Mac or Windows machine. Invisible to daily workflow.
Map Apps to Clients
Tell Backlsh which apps and URLs belong to which client. It learns quickly and handles ambiguities with AI suggestions.
Work Normally
Your team does nothing differently. Open Figma, switch to Ads Manager, hop into email — Backlsh tracks it all silently.
Invoice with Confidence
Pull audit-ready client billing reports anytime. Every hour documented, categorized, and ready to send.

Always-OnReal Results from Real Agencies
"We were losing almost 2 hours per creative per day to timer amnesia. Since switching to Backlsh, our average monthly client invoice went up by 18%. The tool paid for itself in week one."
"Our media buyers were resistant to any tracking tool. Backlsh changed that because they literally don't have to do anything. Now they actually love having proof of how much work they put into each client."
"The per-campaign breakdown is a game-changer for our retainer clients. We can finally show them exactly where every hour went. No more awkward 'trust us' conversations at billing time."
"Setup took less than 10 minutes for our 45-person team. Within the first week we identified three SEO accounts that were severely under-billed. We restructured two retainer contracts immediately."
