Time Tracking for interior designers and architects.

Every hour logged, every hour billed.

Start the timer once. As you move between projects, Programa tracks where your time goes.

Start the timer once.
It keeps up from there.

Follows your project context

Move between projects. Your time splits when you stop.

Pick up where you left off

Close your laptop, keep your hours. Edit anything later.

Missed time is lost revenue

Capture hours while you work, not from memory weeks or months later.

Timer on the task

Track as you go, against projects and phases, or freeform and assign later.

Forgot to start the timer?

Add or edit entries in place, at the hour or the minute, whenever the week catches up with you.

Track as your studio works, and invoice with a click.

No retyping. No reconciliation. No chasing up timesheets from your team.

From timer to Invoicing

Hours land as line items at your rate, mixed alongside schedule-backed products and custom charges.

Easy reconciliation

Every entry is editable in both Time Tracking, and Invoicing.

Easy export

Pull a clean timesheet to Excel the moment you need one - no extra system, no rebuilding the week from memory.

“Time is money. With Time Tracking, we can know. How much time are we investing in each project? And that's crystal clear.”

Task cards

Every timer is anchored to a task inside a project. The room or section it belongs to travels with it, so context doesn't get lost in the export.

Schedule context

Tasks deep-link to schedule rows, so a logged hour is one click from the product or specification it served.

Time tracking for interior designers, built for the way studios actually work

Time tracking for interior designers is one of the most overlooked levers in studio profitability. Billable hours at $150–$400+ disappear into spreadsheets, scribbled site-visit notes, and "I'll log it later" promises that never make it onto the invoice. Programa's time tracking is built specifically for the way design studios actually work — every billable hour captured, attributed to a client and project, and ready to invoice without rekeying a thing.

Designed for design fees, not generic billing

Generic time tracking apps weren't built for the specifics of an interior design studio. They don't understand the difference between billable design hours, non-billable trades coordination, fixed-fee scope, and hourly overrun on a retainer. Programa's time tracking is purpose-built for this nuance — sitting natively inside the same platform where you already manage schedules, specifications, pinboards, invoicing, and client approvals. Track time by project, by client, by team member, by activity type — meetings, site visits, supplier sourcing, drafting, project management, admin — and see exactly where every hour goes.

From hours to invoice, in one click

For any studio that bills hourly, charges design fees with hourly overage, or runs a hybrid retainer model, the biggest win is the link between tracked time and invoicing. Programa pulls billable hours straight from your time entries into the invoice — no copy-pasting from a spreadsheet, no end-of-month reconciliation marathon. Trades coordination and other non-billable work stays separate, so your client invoices stay clean and your studio P&L stays honest.

Built for solo principals and 20-person studios alike

Whether you're a sole-trader designer running three projects or leading a multi-disciplinary studio with junior designers, drafters, and project managers, Programa's time tracking for interior designers gives you a real-time view of where your team's hours are going — and where your fees should follow. The result: tighter records, faster invoicing, more billable hours captured, and the confidence to price your next project based on what design work actually costs.
