Time Squeeze

Time Squeeze is an automatic time and activity tracking endpoint for Windows, distributed through the Microsoft Store. Rather than relying on a manual timer you have to remember to start and stop, it quietly records what you work on — individual applications, files, websites and browser tabs — and consolidates it into a timeline you can review. It also detects time away from the PC (AFK), so idle stretches do not inflate your billable hours.

The tool is built with billing in mind. You can associate activities with clients or projects on the fly without pairing it with third-party project management software, then categorize, filter and export your time to produce accurate reports and invoices. A look-back timeline lets you drill down to the smallest detail so you can corroborate what you bill with actual recorded data instead of memory or old emails.

Privacy and deployment are deliberate design choices. According to the vendor, all tracked data is stored on and remains on your PC and is never uploaded or transmitted online, and the tool does not record what you type — it uses key presses and mouse clicks only to detect activity. It positions itself as lightweight, non-intrusive, and scalable from a single user to an organization of thousands, with a portal for managing licences and invoices. A free 14-day trial is offered with no credit card required. Time Squeeze also advertises an AI feature that intelligently categorizes your activities, noted as coming soon.
