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.
If your team records Linear work in personal notes, chat threads, or a shared spreadsheet, the practical job is to standardize the record without changing where issue work happens. The useful output is a clear issue-level trail: person, Linear issue, project, date, duration, billable status, and a short work note.
That trail needs to survive project reviews. A manager should see the issue that produced the hours, the worker who logged them, and the day the work happened before approving a week or billing a client. A workaround fails when the team can total hours but cannot trace them back to the issue and note that explain the entry.
A reviewable entry carries one unit of work instead of a vague daily total. Tie each entry to the Linear issue, then add the project, date, duration, billable flag, and note. The note should name the actual work, such as implementation, review, QA follow-up, or client-requested change, so the entry can stand up during invoice review.
Record separate blocks when the work changes. A code change, review response, and follow-up fix can share one issue, but they deserve separate entries if they happen on different days or support different billing explanations. A clean split lets the reviewer see sequence and scope without asking the worker to reconstruct the week from memory.
Use a timer for active, uninterrupted work on one issue. The start and stop pattern is strongest for coding, design review, or QA sessions where the issue stays open and the worker knows which task owns the time. It reduces reconstruction from memory and keeps the duration tied to the issue that drove the session.
Use manual entry after meetings, support follow-ups, or fragmented work that crosses interruptions. The entry still needs the same fields, including the issue and a plain note. The mistake to avoid is dumping leftover hours into a project bucket during weekly cleanup, because project-only totals hide which issue consumed the time.
A one-off workaround is enough for a solo audit, a short contractor handoff, or a small cleanup where you only need to map a few hour blocks back to issues. A managed workflow becomes necessary when several people log against the same Linear projects, managers approve weekly time, and invoices or payroll reviews use the record.
Everhour turns the workaround into an embedded workflow. The browser extension adds timer and manual logging controls inside Linear, then the entries flow into timesheets, reports, approvals, locked periods, and billing or payroll handoff. Selected Linear workspaces keep active projects and issues synchronized, so renamed tasks and projects stay aligned with the time record.

Replace the log that loses issue context first: private notes, calendar estimates, chat messages, or a spreadsheet row that only names the project. The first durable record should connect the person, issue, date, duration, billable flag, and note. Once those fields are consistent, totals by project and week become review outputs rather than the only record.
Timers fit focused sessions where one issue owns the work from start to finish. Manual entries fit work captured after the fact, such as a meeting or interrupted support block. Both methods need the same review fields, because approvals rely on traceability, consistent notes, and a duration tied to the issue that drove the work.
A reviewable record includes the worker, Linear issue, project, date, duration, billable status, and a short note. The note should identify the work performed rather than repeat the issue title. A reviewer should be able to answer three questions from the entry: who worked, which issue received the time, and why the time belongs there.
Add new time to the same issue when the reopened work belongs to the same request, bug, or review thread. Use a fresh date and note so the later work stays visible during weekly review. Create a separate entry or issue when the reopened discussion turns into a new scope item that needs its own approval trail.
Project-only totals hide the issue that created the cost. A client or manager can see that hours landed on a project, but cannot tell whether the hours came from implementation, rework, QA, or a scope change. Issue-level entries preserve the explanation behind the total and reduce cleanup before invoicing.
Everhour Expenses tracks project costs beside billable hours, with receipt images or PDFs attached to expense entries. Managers can review expense reports by project, client, member, category, date range, and billable status, then connect reimbursement and profitability review to the same project context as the logged work.
Everhour Timesheets collect weekly project hours and working hours by person, then managers approve, reject, or partially approve submitted time. Submitted and approved time is protected from regular member edits, which keeps the approved record stable before payroll, billing, or reporting uses it.
Track Linear issue time and add project expenses with receipts, budget treatment, invoice handling, and expense reports so managers see labor and reimbursable costs in Everhour.
