A Fresher Approach

Effortless time tracking that respects your privacy.

You don’t need to upload your workday to the cloud just to track your hours. Here is how Cenlo does things differently:

Cloud First

Traditional trackers

Window titles, active documents, and timesheets are uploaded to remote servers before you ever see them.

Record

01

Observes open apps, browsing history and keystrokes

Upload

02

Sends raw details to cloud servers

Process

03

Organized and stored remotely in cloud databases

Your personal information lives on someone else's server.
Device First

Cenlo

A smart model runs directly on your computer to organize your day. Raw activity stays on your device.

Classify

01

Recognizes work categories locally on your device

Save

02

Keeps everything in a local sqlite file on your computer

Sync (Optional)

03

Sealed and encrypted with your personal key before syncing

Only you have access to your timeline.
How It Works

Easy to use every day. Secure by default.

01

Automatic on-device classification

Cenlo groups your app activity into clear projects and work sessions without sending anything to the cloud.

Under the hood

Uses a fine tuned ML model to organize your day quickly right on your computer.

02

Encrypted realtime sync

Want to sync between your laptop and phone? Your data is encrypted on your device before it moves.

Under the hood

AES-256-GCM zero-knowledge dual envelope cross device sync guarantees our servers can never see your timesheet contents.

03

Simple QR device pairing

Link a new computer or phone easily by scanning a secure QR code on your screen.

Under the hood

Devices connect straight to one another without needing a shared central account password.

Who It's For

Built for how you actually work.

Same private core underneath, two different ways of using it.

Solo & Independent

Your own encrypted timeline, wherever you work.

Freelancers & ContractorsConsultants & LegalIndividuals

Track

Runs quietly in the background — no timers needed.

Classify

On-device ML sorts each moment into a project.

Correct

Fix a mislabeled entry once — Cenlo remembers it.

Sync

Only encrypted data moves between your own devices.

Data is securly synchronized across your linked devices.

Team & Enterprise

Shared visibility for managers, without watching anyone's screen.

Remote TeamsStartupsEnterprise

Define

Manager sets project scope, tools, and distraction rules.

Classify

Classified locally on the member's device, same as solo.

Review

Member reviews the results and picks what to share.

Signal

Manager sees project time and rule flags, never raw activity.

A flag, not a recording — managers never see raw activity.

Privacy Guarantees

Your day stays with you.

Cenlo was built with privacy and data security in mind so you never have to trust an external company with your schedule. Your records are created locally and locked with keys that only your devices have.
