A Toggl alternative for teams that need more than a stopwatch.
Description: …
Pick a task, start, and evidence accumulates.
Why a timer alone stops working once a team grows
A stopwatch records duration and whatever description someone typed. It cannot tell a lead what the hour contained or whether the description matches. Colabio attaches screenshots, observed apps, and an AI task suggestion to each tracked slot so the entry carries its own evidence.
A simple timer, plus the parts Toggl leaves out by design.
Three product decisions that separate Colabio from Toggl Track.
Timer With Evidence
Start a timer on a task from the desktop app. Screenshots, activity level, and observed apps attach to the slot automatically.
AI Task Suggestions
Forgot to switch tasks? When your activity looks like something else, Colabio suggests the task and you confirm with one click.
Team Layer Built In
Daily updates, a team dashboard, unusual-activity review, and invoices from timesheets, without a second tool.

The Colabio commitments
More capture only makes sense if the person stays in control.
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 Content Logging
We count input events and observe app names and URLs. We never record what you typed.
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.
