Native time tracking for Notion
TimeKnot connects to your Notion workspace and turns your task databases into a real time tracking system. Start a timer on any task, embed it inside Notion, and watch your hours sync back automatically.

Time tracking in Notion is broken
If you've tried to track time in Notion, you've probably run into this:
You have no idea where your hours actually went at the end of the day
Notion has no native timer. You have to build workarounds from scratch
Workarounds are complex and technical, and break when you change your setup
You end up switching between Notion and separate time tracking tools or spreadsheets
Your tracked time never actually matches your tasks. Two sources of truth.
So your workflow gets fragmented and messy.
TimeKnot lives inside your Notion tasks
Add the TimeKnot widget to any Notion task page. Your timer, session history, and total time — right there, without leaving Notion.
- Start and stop timers from inside the task
- See your session history per task, right in Notion
- Syncs with TimeKnot in real time

Common questions
Does Notion have time tracking?
Notion does not include a native time tracking feature. TimeKnot adds this capability to your workspace by connecting to your existing task databases.
How do I track time in Notion?
Connect your Notion workspace to TimeKnot, then click Start on any task. Your timer runs and hours are logged back to Notion automatically.
Does TimeKnot work inside Notion?
Yes. You can embed the TimeKnot widget directly inside any Notion task page. Your timer, session history, and total time show up right there — no tab switching needed.
Can I use TimeKnot just for myself?
Absolutely. TimeKnot works great for one person. If you use Notion and want to understand where your time actually goes, it's built for you.
Can I track billable hours in Notion?
TimeKnot tracks time per task and project today. Billable hour marking, hourly rates, and invoice generation are coming soon.
Is TimeKnot a replacement for other time tracking tools?
Yes. TimeKnot is a fully standalone time tracking system that integrates deeply with Notion. You can connect other tools if you want to, but you never have to.
Do I need any other accounts to use TimeKnot?
No. All you need is a Notion account. TimeKnot works fully on its own, and you can connect additional tools later from Settings if needed.
Does TimeKnot sync time back to Notion?
Yes. Every time a timer stops, TimeKnot writes the total tracked time back to a "Total Time (m)" column in your Notion database. It also creates a "TimeKnot Sessions" database with every session logged as a row.
Can teams use TimeKnot with Notion?
Yes. Invite team members, share your Notion database, and track activity across your workspace. Each member tracks independently while admins see the full picture.
