Tracked hours flow straight into a polished invoice — no copy-paste, no manual math.
Capture time against Basecamp to-dos without losing the connection between the task and the hours. A useful entry identifies the to-do, project, date, person, duration, and a short note that explains the work completed. That structure keeps a small task log from turning into a vague weekly total when you review delivery, billing, or staffing later.
Basecamp organizes this work through projects, to-do lists, to-dos, assignees, subtasks, due dates, and completion status. Everhour uses the Basecamp project, list, and to-do structure in its reporting layer, so hours stay attached to the task context that produced them. That matters when a manager reviews delivery, a client asks for detail, or accounting needs a billable trail.
A timer fits active work that starts from a Basecamp to-do and needs an accurate duration. The person starts the timer on the task, stops it when the work ends, and leaves the entry tied to that to-do. This works well for implementation, review, QA, writing, design updates, and other focused work where the start and stop points are clear.
Manual entry fits work recorded after the fact, especially when someone worked offline, switched devices, or cleaned up notes after work is done. The entry still needs the same minimum detail: task, project, date, duration, and note. Basecamp message, schedule, or file context can inform the note, but Everhour's Basecamp report fields center on projects, lists, and to-dos.
A good time entry can be understood without asking the person to reconstruct the day. Write notes that name the deliverable or action, such as "revised onboarding copy after client comments" or "tested checkout bug fix." Avoid notes like "updates" or "misc," because they do not explain why the time belongs to that to-do.
Billable status needs setup before the invoice review stage. Everhour can configure Basecamp projects as billable, fixed fee, or non-billable, and specific tasks can be marked non-billable. Custom task rates are supported for time-and-materials projects. That setup keeps billable totals from depending on memory after the work is done.
A one-off time log is enough when one person needs a quick record for a small Basecamp task. It stops being enough when multiple people submit time, a manager reviews the week, billing depends on approved entries, or a completed period should stop changing. At that point, the time record needs workflow controls.
Everhour Timesheets collect weekly project hours and working hours by person, then let users submit time for approval. Managers can approve, reject, or partially approve submitted time. Admins can lock completed periods or stop regular members from editing time after approval, so Basecamp to-do hours become a durable record instead of a loose note trail.

The useful details are the to-do name, project, list or section, assignee, date, duration, and a clear work note. Everhour's Basecamp reporting can include project, to-do, list, task ID, and task status, so entries stay tied to the same work structure your team uses to organize delivery.
Use one entry per to-do when billing, review, or project reporting needs task-level detail. Use a daily total only when the work is internal and the exact task breakdown does not affect decisions. Task-level entries take more discipline, but they make client questions, budget checks, and manager review easier to answer.
Basecamp messages and schedule items can explain why work happened, but Everhour's documented Basecamp report fields center on projects, lists, and to-dos. Create or choose the related to-do, then log the time there with a note that references the meeting, message, or decision that caused the work.
The biggest mistake is logging time to a broad project without selecting the to-do that produced the work. The hours may still exist, but the report loses the task detail needed for review. A second common mistake is using vague notes that do not distinguish client work from internal coordination.
Billing setup belongs to the project and task rules in Everhour. A Basecamp project can use billable, fixed-fee, or non-billable setup, and specific tasks can be marked non-billable. Custom task rates are supported for time-and-materials projects, which keeps billing logic out of loose entry notes.
Before a client invoice or payroll review uses Basecamp to-do hours, Everhour Timesheets gives managers a weekly view of each person's project hours and working hours. Managers can approve, reject, or partially approve submitted time, while admins can lock completed periods or stop regular members from editing time after approval.
Everhour embeds tracking controls into Basecamp through the browser extension and syncs Basecamp projects, lists, and to-dos into its reporting layer. Reports can include the Basecamp project, to-do, list, task ID, and task status, so tracked hours keep their task context.
Track Basecamp to-do hours in Everhour, submit weekly timesheets, and let admins lock completed periods or approved time before billing or payroll review uses them. Everhour turns task-level time into an approval-ready record.
