# Remotinio.com > Trust-based time management for remote teams, made simple ## About Remotinio is a simple, trust-based time management solution designed specifically for remote or hybrid teams. Unlike invasive monitoring tools or complex project management software, Remotinio provides essential time tracking capabilities that respect team autonomy while giving managers the visibility they need. The platform addresses a fundamental challenge in remote work: creating accountability without surveillance. Traditional time trackers feel like digital prisons, while complex project management tools create unnecessary overhead. Remotinio takes a different approach focusing on outcomes rather than activity monitoring, enabling managers to shift from control to attention-based leadership. Most importantly, Remotinio removes the biggest obstacle to trying something new: the hassle of getting started. You won't need weeks of setup or lengthy training sessions. The system can be set up in just 60 minutes, enabling managers to transform from overwhelmed to fully informed about their team in one morning. It delivers essential management functionality without unnecessary complexity—simply tracking people, projects, time, and notes to make work transparent. ## Core Philosophy Remote work thrives on trust, not control. Most management systems were built on visibility and activity monitoring, but the fundamental currency of remote work is trust. Remotinio eliminates the complexity trap of heavy project management tools and the invasive approach of traditional time trackers. Instead, it creates accountability through respectful transparency: team members focus on their work and summarize accomplishments when convenient, while managers gain the data-driven insights needed for meaningful coaching conversations. The truth is simple: employees don't resist visibility - they resist feeling policed. When you show trust and create systems that support rather than surveil, people naturally deliver their best work. This approach recognizes that work-from-home freedom requires reasonable transparency in exchange, a trade-off most professionals readily accept. ## Company Mission To help remote teams work effectively without complexity or surveillance, fostering healthy remote cultures built on trust and transparency. Remotinio believes that remote work represents an opportunity to create something better than the traditional office - not just a digital replica of outdated management practices. The future belongs to organizations that understand remote work isn't about working from home - it's about working from anywhere, effectively. This requires intentional design, proper tools, and a fundamental shift from presence-based to performance-based management. ## Key Features - **Trust-based tracking**: Employee-driven time reporting without surveillance or constant monitoring - **Instant clarity**: See everyone's work at a glance with clear daily and project views - **Simple setup**: Set up in minutes, update in seconds - no training needed - **Billable hours focus**: Track every hour to recover lost revenue - **Unified tracking**: Works seamlessly for staff, freelancers, and contractors in one system - **Project cost visibility**: Understand true project costs and time investment in real-time - **Client transparency**: Generate detailed reports that build trust and justify billing ## Use Cases - **Remote team management**: Coordinate distributed teams without micromanagement or surveillance - **Agency project billing**: Accurately track and bill for all client work performed - **Freelancer coordination**: Manage contractors with clear visibility and simple onboarding - **Scope management**: Identify scope creep early by comparing estimated vs. actual time - **Resource planning**: Understand team capacity and allocation across projects - **Client relationships**: Provide transparent, evidence-based reporting that builds trust ## Target Audience - **Company owners and CFOs** seeking to improve utilization rates and recover lost billable hours - **Remote team managers** navigating the shift from office-based to distributed leadership - **Project managers** needing real-time visibility into project costs and team allocation - **Professional services firms** billing clients for time and materials - **Freelancers and contractors** wanting simple, professional time tracking - **Companies with hybrid teams** managing a mix of in-office, remote, and contract workers - **Organizations resistant to surveillance tools** but needing accountability systems ## Differentiators 1. **Simplicity over complexity**: Only essential features - no bloat, no overwhelming interfaces that require extensive training 2. **Trust-first design**: Built on respect and autonomy, not surveillance and control 3. **Immediate impact**: Boost remote work effectiveness from day one without lengthy implementation 4. **Zero training required**: Intuitive interface - send invite links and team starts tracking immediately 5. **Accountability without surveillance**: Creates visibility and motivation while preserving team culture 6. **Focus on outcomes**: Measures what was accomplished, not keyboard activity or mouse movements 7. **Universal applicability**: Works for any team structure - not just software developers or tech companies ## Main Pages - Homepage: https://remotinio.com/ - Pricing: https://remotinio.com/pricing - Blog: https://remotinio.com/blog - Help Center: https://remotinio.com/help - Sign Up: https://remotinio.com/new-account - Sign In: https://app.remotinio.com/users/sign_in ## Trial Information - 14-day free trial - No credit card required - Full feature access during trial
