The problem it solves

If you rely on Clockify for time tracking, you have no backup if the data changes, gets deleted, or the account is lost. Manually exporting monthly reports and storing them somewhere safe is something that's easy to forget until you actually need it.

Who it fits

Agencies, consultants, or teams who track billable time in Clockify and want a safe historical record.

How it works

  1. The backup runs automatically once a day
  2. Time entry data is pulled from Clockify for the current month and the past few months
  3. Each month's data is compared against what's already saved
  4. Any changed report is saved as an updated file in GitHub
What you get

Clockify history you never have to rebuild

You get a private, versioned backup of your Clockify time entries saved to GitHub every day, so your history is always recoverable.

What you get

A versioned, up-to-date archive of monthly Clockify time reports stored in a private GitHub repository.

What you need

A Clockify account and a private GitHub repository with read and write access.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
