Trust-based time tracking for distributed teams

Invite every team member by email with a role — admin, manager, member, or freelancer — and assign a direct supervisor for approval routing. Groups collect members under a manager so async reviews land in one pending queue per manager, not a shared inbox.

Each team member authorizes their own Google Calendar or Outlook once. Stand-ups, planning, customer calls, and reviews show up alongside tracked time in the Hourvio calendar view. No central admin touches anyone's personal events.

Every team member runs the one-click timer against their project and task, or types into the weekly grid on their own schedule. Entries keep their original timezone, so a morning start in Lisbon and a morning start in Warsaw both read as mornings on every report and calendar view.

Team members submit weekly, semi-monthly, or monthly periods when they are ready. Managers see a pending queue scoped to their direct reports, bulk-approve the clean submissions, and reject with a note up to two thousand characters that travels back to the author inside the app.

Vacation and sick leave are configured from day one. Team members request time off with a policy and dates, managers approve asynchronously, and balances update automatically. The team timeline shows who is out and when they return so nobody books a meeting into a teammate's leave.
