Turbotimesheets
- 1 min
Overview
Turbotimesheets is a product I built to solve a recurring monthly challenge I face in my role as Mobile Lead at Vitesy. Working in a company often involves tasks that developers find tedious, like filling out timesheets.
Timesheets are essentially reports where you indicate hour-by-hour which project you worked on, helping your company understand how they’re allocating budget across various value-generating projects.
I’ve consistently struggled with these reports, often finding myself scrambling at month’s end to complete them by backtracking through git commits and calendar events to piece together where I spent my time.
This approach is clearly inefficient: you don’t achieve the desired accuracy, and you waste valuable time on an activity that doesn’t help you meet your core objectives.
That’s why I built Turbotimesheets. It marked my first experience with ‘vibe-coding’ - developing a product with assistance from Cursor, a VS Code-based editor that uses AI to help write code.
The product is straightforward: it connects to Clockify to understand your active projects and tasks, then allows you to verbally describe what you did during the day. I figured that by narrating my activities, perhaps while driving home from work, I could streamline the data entry process.
The product then generates Clockify entries by matching your projects based on your narrative and automatically populates your timesheet on Clockify page.
I built it in a couple of days and have been using it for a while, built for me and without entrepreneurial aspirations, just for the pleasure of building something useful.
