Work Hours Visibility

How many hours did you actually work last week?

Most people have a rough sense — “a lot.” But not a number. Not a trend. Not a comparison to last week or to what's sustainable. Your calendar has all this data — it just never surfaces it.

Tempo does. Assign your work events to a layer — Tempo counts the hours, tracks the trend, and alerts you before the number becomes a problem.

The data your calendar never shows you

What visibility changes

When you can see the number,
you can act on it.

When you assign events to a Work layer, Tempo tracks every hour. Every meeting, every focus block, every commitment tagged as Work gets counted — automatically.

You can see this week versus last week versus your four-week average. You can see whether you're trending up or holding steady. You can see what percentage of your total scheduled time belongs to work — not as an assumption, but as a fact.

SIGNAL detects when the trend crosses into unsustainable territory — and surfaces it in your morning brief while there's still time to protect the week ahead.

Layers track time automatically.
No timers. No spreadsheets.

Assign events to a Work layer — every meeting, focus block, and commitment tagged as Work gets counted automatically. No timers. No manual entry. No end-of-week reconstruction from memory.

Your calendar already records start and end times for every event. Tempo does the math it never bothered to show you: how many total hours is that? What's the trend? How does this week compare to the last four?

The number has been sitting in your calendar for years. Tempo is what finally surfaces it.

Tempo

What you can see.

Four views into your work time that no standard calendar app provides — derived automatically from the events already on your calendar.

Weekly work hours

See the exact total time in your Work layer this week — in hours and minutes, not a vague sense of "busy."

Week-over-week trend

Is your work time going up, down, or holding steady? The trend matters as much as the number.

Work vs everything else

What percentage of your total scheduled time this week is Work? The ratio reveals what the raw number hides.
