How Time Translator works

Time Translator is built to remove tedious, repetitive admin from work that is already recorded in your calendar.

Quick start

  1. 1. Start with your calendar

    Time Translator begins with the work you already recorded in your calendar. Today, the app supports Google Calendar .ics exports.

  2. 2. Import only the dates you need

    Choose a date range, upload your calendar export, and optionally exclude weekends or ignored events before review.

  3. 3. Review your time

    The app turns calendar events into reviewable time entries. You stay in control: check the result, edit what needs attention, and skip anything that should not become an output.

  4. 4. Choose what to create

    The current working output is timesheets, including CSV export and Jira work logging. Invoice drafts and PDF export are the next product lane.

FAQ

What is Time Translator?
Time Translator turns calendar time into useful business outputs: timesheets now, with invoices, reports and decisions coming next.
Who is it for?
It is for people and small service businesses who already use their calendar to record work, but still waste time rebuilding timesheets or invoices by hand.
What can it do today?
The current MVP imports a .ics calendar file, reviews time entries, exports CSV, and can log approved time to Jira for timesheet users.
What invoice features are planned?
The planned invoice workflow will suggest customers and invoice descriptions from calendar titles, let users enter quantity and price, support GST and discounts, and export branded invoice PDFs.
Do I need Jira?
Not for the long-term product direction. Jira is one output path for timesheet users. The broader product is calendar in, useful outputs out.
What .ics file do I need?
For Google Calendar, go to Settings, then Import & Export, then Export. Upload the .ics file and select the date range you want to process.
What does AI do?
AI helps translate messy calendar events into useful suggestions, such as Jira matches today and invoice/customer suggestions in the invoice workflow.
Will I still review the result?
Yes. The goal is not blind automation. The app removes repetitive admin, then gives you a clean review step before anything is exported, invoiced or logged.
What are ignored and skipped entries?
Ignored entries are automatically excluded by rules, such as lunch or out-of-office events. Skipped entries are manually excluded by you during review.
Is Help public?
Yes. You can read this page before signing up. Upload, insights and settings are private workspace pages.
