Chrometa

Chrometa passively records time spent across applications, emails, and documents on PC, Mac, and mobile — designed to eliminate the manual timer workflow that causes billable hour leakage. Founded ~2008 in Sacramento, CA. A legacy passive tracker now facing competition from AI-powered newcomers like Ajax. Primarily adopted by solo and small firms; no evidence of mid-size or larger firm deployment. Capterra 4.3/5 (57 reviews). Chrometa’s own study of 500+ professionals found teams bill only 67% of actual billable time — but no independent case study quantifies billable hour recovery from using Chrometa specifically.
