Every report you need — configured your way, always up to date.
Tracked hours flow straight into a polished invoice — no copy-paste, no manual math.
Create a compact view of project work that started as Linear issues and now needs a time-based explanation. The useful output is a summary by project, issue, member, or date range, with billable and non-billable time separated clearly enough for finance, delivery leads, or clients to read without opening every issue.
The summary should answer one primary question first: where time went, who spent it, which issue absorbed it, or which work drove cost. Linear keeps the project, issue, assignee, status, label, cycle, and estimate context. Everhour supplies tracked hours, rates, budget fields, and report columns that turn that work context into a time summary.
A project breakdown answers whether the whole effort is on pace. An issue breakdown shows which tasks consumed the most time. A member breakdown shows workload and handoff patterns. A date-range breakdown gives managers a clean weekly or monthly summary without mixing old work into the current review.
Billable status belongs in the same summary when the project affects billing or margin. Separate billable time, non-billable time, billable amount, and cost so the reader sees client-facing work and internal effort in one place. A summary that hides non-billable time makes project cost look cleaner than the work actually was.
A time summary should be shorter than the source data. Start with the reporting period, project name, total tracked time, billable time, non-billable time, cost, and any budget position that changes the next decision. Add the top issues only when they explain a variance, delay, or unusually high spend.
Exports matter when stakeholders do not work inside the reporting tool. Use CSV or Excel/XLSX for spreadsheet review, and PDF for a fixed stakeholder update. A monthly summary can show project totals, then include issue or member detail as supporting rows so the main message stays visible.
A free one-off summary is enough when you need a quick project recap from a limited set of entries. It works for an owner checking a small delivery period, a lead preparing a status note, or a freelancer packaging time for a single client review.
A managed workflow becomes necessary when time summaries must come from approved time, current rates, billable status, and budget rules every week or month. Everhour connects Linear issue work to standing reports, budget tracking, rate-based cost views, and exports, so teams stop rebuilding the same spreadsheet for every review.

The useful breakdown matches the decision. Use project totals for overall progress, issue detail for expensive work, member detail for staffing review, and date ranges for weekly or monthly reporting. Keep billable and non-billable time visible when the summary supports cost, margin, or billing review.
Estimates on Linear issues are effort or size values, not clock time. Use them as scope context only. Use tracked hours for actual time and Everhour task estimates in hours when the report needs planned-versus-actual hour review.
A compact monthly summary should show the project, reporting period, total tracked time, billable time, non-billable time, cost, and the main breakdown that explains the result. Add the top issues or members only when those rows change the next action.
Prepare exports around the reader's job. Finance usually needs dates, billable status, rates, amounts, and costs. Delivery leads usually need project, issue, member, status, and tracked time. Clients usually need a cleaner billable-work view with enough detail to understand the invoice or status update.
The common mistake is summarizing only completed or billable issues. Active work, non-billable fixes, support tasks, and late manual entries still affect cost and capacity. A reliable summary uses the same date range and includes all relevant tracked time before separating the rows by status or billing category.
Everhour Project Budgeting connects tracked Linear issue time to hour-based or money-based budgets, recurring budget periods, budget protection, and email alerts. A project summary can show time and cost against the current budget period instead of treating the report as an isolated export.
Everhour Reporting lets admins build reports with columns, grouping, filters, date ranges, and formatting, then download them as CSV, Excel/XLSX, or PDF. Teams can group Linear-connected time by project, issue, member, or date range for stakeholder review.
Track approved Linear project time against hour or money budgets, review summaries on a set cadence, and export the report Everhour uses for budget decisions.
