Tachylog Time tracking for IT operations · Invite-only

This is what a Wednesday actually looks like.

One fictional engineer, one working day, logged in Tachylog as it happened: a ticket at ten to nine, a plan that got interrupted (a preview feature), a gap closed from memory at half past four, and a report at five. Scroll the day.

Invite-only. Ask your team’s administrator if you need access.

08:00

Every work description on this page began as something a person typed. Tachylog captures nothing from your screen: no keystrokes, no screenshots, no activity monitoring.

08:50

The queue is already open.

Choose a work type, press Start, and go. Stop never waits for a field: a stopped ticket sits as incomplete until you file it with its Number, so nothing has to be typed mid-incident.

  • one tap to start; the work type is the only thing it needs to start
  • Stop never fails for a missing field; the ticket’s Number goes in when you file the entry
  • the timer is the only thing moving; the app watches the clock, never your screen

Illustrative interface. D. Kessler, R. Adeyemi and the tickets are fictional.

09:15

Two hours you meant to keep. Preview

Proactive Shift, in preview: commit the runbook to the calendar on Friday as a planned block. When the P1 lands at 10:20, log the interruption against that block. The whole block is marked displaced, the time you did log stays linked to it, and you can reclaim it into next week.

  • the interruption is its own entry: 35 minutes, against the block it bumped, marked imposed
  • the whole block counts as displaced; no partial credit, no arguing over minutes
  • the 1 h 25 logged against it stays linked; reclaim the block into next week with one tap

Illustrative interface, Proactive Shift preview. The outage and the runbook are fictional.

11:32

A change to your record, with a name on it.

When a manager corrects an entry on your sheet, the entry carries their name on the manager’s sheet, and the admin audit trail keeps who changed what, and when.

  • every correction carries the editor’s name; a note can say why
  • managers can correct across their reporting line, never anonymously

Illustrative interface. J. Huang is fictional.

16:30

Fill the afternoon in from memory.

The manifest counts everything logged against the workday, drafts included. File the rest of the shift from memory at the end of the day, or clone yesterday’s rows when today looked the same.

  • 4:55 was filed live during the day; the three draft rows add the other 3:05, so the counter already reads 8:00
  • three rows, one save; minutes, not start times
  • the firmware rollout has no ServiceNow number; Project does not require one

Illustrative interface. M. Okafor and the work are fictional.

17:00

Stop. Read the day.

A report scoped to what your role may see, grouped the way you need it, and a CSV for whoever needs the numbers somewhere else.

  • managers see their own reporting subtree; administrators see all entries
  • group by client or day instead; the CSV carries every row

Illustrative interface. All figures reconcile to the entries shown above.

That was one day. The timer, the batch manifest and the reports are the everyday product. The committed block and the interruption are Proactive Shift, in preview.

Getting in

By invitation.

Tachylog is invite-only. An administrator invites each person by email, or hands them a one-time invite code when a corporate mail filter eats the invitation. There is no public sign-up, no credit card and no pricing page.

Each team’s data lives in its own database.

Friday, ahead of time Preview

Next week starts with a plan.

Proactive Shift is in preview. On Friday, commit the work that never gets time to next week’s calendar. On Wednesday, look at what interrupted it, as a team, by category.

Illustrative interface, Proactive Shift preview. The team and its numbers are fictional.

Keep the day. Then keep the week.

Start the live work, file what you missed from memory, and read the day with its interruptions intact.

Invite-only. Ask your team’s administrator if you need access.
