We’ve upgraded our PDF reports for
Clients, Projects, and Tasks
.
Previously, only the first page of time entries was included in exported reports. Now,
all time entries are included
—no matter how many there are.
You’ll still see:
  • Total time, billable time, and billable amount
  • Hourly rates and histograms
  • Full descriptions and billable details for each entry
This makes sharing complete, professional reports with clients and teammates easier than ever.
We’ve made several UI improvements to help you easily understand what’s billable and how much you’re earning:
image
Currency Labels
: All billable time entries now display the
Client’s currency
, including entries under related Projects and Tasks.
image
Entry Tooltips
: Hover over a time entry to see its billable amount and associated Client in the tooltip. In this case, the client is Peer and the billable amount is $27.03.
image
Client & Project Modals
: The left side of the histogram now shows
total time
,
billable time
, and
billable amount
at a glance.
image
Client Reports
: Each time entry in the Client Reports view now shows its billable amount for quick reference.
These updates make it easier to review, understand, and report on your billable time—down to the last dollar (or euro, or pound 😉).
image
You can now
mark specific time entries as billable or non-billable
across Clients, Projects, and Tasks.
By default, time entries are considered
billable
for all Clients with an hourly rate. But sometimes, not all tracked time should be invoiced—now you have full control.
Just edit any time entry and
toggle the billable field off
.
That entry will still count toward the total tracked time for the Client, Project, or Task, but it won’t count toward billable hours.
More flexibility. More accurate billing. Less hassle.
image
We recently launched
Hourly Rates for Clients
, making it easy to track billable time at the client level. But we know that sometimes, specific Projects have their own custom rates.
Now, you can set
Custom Hourly Rates for individual Projects
.
Just edit the Project and enter the override amount—Rize will automatically apply this rate when calculating billable time for that Project.
💡 Note: The Project will always inherit the currency from its parent Client.
We hope this makes Rize even more powerful and flexible for your workflow!
  • Fix an issue with race conditions when quitting the app.
  • Stability and performance improvements.

team_billing_1
Managing your team's Rize subscription just got easier. With
Team Billing
, you can consolidate all payments under a single account, simplifying expense tracking and team management.
Why We Built This
For teams using Rize, managing individual subscriptions for each member was inefficient. Team leads and finance departments needed an easier way to handle
billing, invoicing, and user management
—without juggling multiple accounts.
With
Team Billing
, one account manages all payments, and all team members are covered under a single invoice. This ensures a
streamlined billing process, easier expense management, and seamless user onboarding
.
How It Works

ai_generate_descriptions_2
Overview
Rize will now automatically create detailed summaries for your Client, Project, and Task time entries, ensuring accuracy and saving you valuable time.
Why We Built This
Accurate time tracking is essential for productivity analysis, client billing, and personal accountability. However, the manually entering of descriptions is a lot of work. By automating this process, we aim to:
  • Save Time
    – Reduce the administrative burden of manual data entry.
  • Improve Accuracy
    – Provide precise descriptions based on actual activity.
  • Enhance Insights
    – Offer clearer insights into how time is allocated across various tasks and projects.

billable_hours_2
Overview
Tracking billable hours and client earnings just got easier. With
Hourly Rates for Clients
, you can assign specific hourly rates to clients and automatically calculate how much they owe based on their logged time. This feature streamlines the billing process for freelancers, consultants, and agencies—helping you stay organized and invoice clients effortlessly.
Why We Built This
Many Rize users track time for different clients, but previously, there was no built-in way to
calculate earnings based on hourly rates
. You had to export raw time-tracking data and manually determine your billable amount.
With
Hourly Rates for Clients
, you can now set an hourly rate for each client and see
real-time earnings
directly inside Rize. Plus, with
PDF report exports
, invoicing is faster and easier.
How It Works
1. Set Hourly Rates for Clients
To start tracking earnings:
  • Open the
    Clients
    section in Rize.
  • Select a client.
  • Enter an
    Hourly Rate
    (e.g., $100 per hour).
Once set, Rize will automatically calculate billable earnings based on tracked time.
billable_hours_3
2. View Billable Hours and Earnings
billable_hours_1
Navigate to the
Clients Overview
or the
Reports
section to see:
  • Weekly, monthly, or all-time billable amounts
    for each client.
  • Breakdown of tracked time
    across categories, apps, and websites.
  • Total hours worked
    and percentage of time spent on billable vs. non-billable work.
3. Export PDF Reports for Invoicing
Need to bill your clients?
  • Open the
    Clients Reports
    section.
  • Select the
    date range

    to generate a professional, client-ready invoice summary.
The exported PDF includes:
  • Total billable hours and earnings
  • Time breakdown by category
    (e.g., coding, meetings, emails)
  • Detailed usage insights
    (apps & websites tracked during billable hours)
Use Cases
Freelancers & Consultants
  • Easily track earnings for multiple clients.
  • Generate detailed invoices based on actual tracked time.

api_webhooks_1
We’re excited to introduce
API Webhooks
, a powerful new way to integrate Rize with your favorite tools and automate your time-tracking workflows.
Overview
With API Webhooks, you can:
  • Automate Workflows
    – Send real-time Rize data to trigger actions in other apps.
  • Seamless Integrations
    – Connect Rize with platforms like Zapier, Slack, Make, and more.
  • Full Automation
    – Let Rize push time-tracking data where you need it, no manual updates required.
api_webhooks_2
How It Works
Step 1: Create an Inbound Webhook
Webhooks allow you to send real-time data from Rize to other applications. To start, create an inbound webhook using a service like Zapier, Slack, Make, or any platform that supports webhooks.
  • In
    Zapier
    , create a new Zap and choose "Webhook" as the trigger.
  • In
    Slack
    , set up an incoming webhook to receive messages based on Rize data.
  • In
    Make
    , configure a webhook module to process incoming data from Rize.
Step 2: Add Your Webhook to Rize
Once you've set up your inbound webhook, you'll need to register it in Rize:
  1. Navigate to
    Settings > API
    in your Rize account.
  2. Click on
    Add Webhook
    and enter the URL of your inbound webhook.
  3. Choose the events you want Rize to send data for.
Step 3: Select the Events to Monitor
Rize supports multiple event types that can trigger webhooks. These include:
  • Session Started
    – Get notified when a new focus session begins.
  • Session Ended
    – Receive updates when a session is completed.
  • Category Assigned
    – Trigger an action when an app or website is categorized.
  • Daily Summary Generated
    – Sync your time-tracking summary with other tools.
Step 4: Use the Data in External Applications
Once the webhook is active, Rize will send structured data to your webhook URL whenever the selected events occur. You can:
  • Log time-tracking data in
    Notion
    or
    Google Sheets
    .
  • Notify your team in
    Slack
    when a work session ends.
  • Automate actions in
    Zapier
    , such as sending emails or updating records.
Webhooks give you full control over how you use your Rize data, making it easier to streamline and automate your productivity workflows.
