HourStack + Slack

Use Slack to seamlessly manage and track time against your tasks using simple commands from any channel or direct message.

---

If Slack is the center of your workflow, then the HourStack Slack app is a must. Start and stop timers, create new tasks with projects and labels, complete tasks, get your schedule for the day, and get stats to see how you've been spending your time–all from within Slack.

It takes only a few moments to connect Slack with HourStack and you'll then have access to /hourstack commands everywhere in Slack, and the responses from HourStack will be private to you.
