Time tracking software for architects is a specialized resource management tool where your design team can log hours against specific project phases, billable tasks, and client accounts. It keeps all architectural project data in one place, so you don't have to rely on fragmented spreadsheets or manual timesheets. This makes it easier to stay organized, manage project profitability, and provide precise billing transparency for your clients.
Softr is the first AI-native platform for building business software. It makes it easy to build a time tracking software for architects that fits the way your firm manages its projects. You can describe your needs to the AI Co-Builder to instantly generate your database of project phases, team member pages, and hourly tracking logic—already connected and secure.
You don't need to code anything. You can start by generating with AI, using a template, or building from scratch. Everything runs on Softr Databases, the native, relational database built into the platform, or you can connect external tools like Airtable, Google Sheets, or your existing project management software. You have full control to adjust the layout visually, decide which architects see which project costs, and brand it to match your firm's aesthetic. It's quick to get up and running, simple to update, and flexible enough to grow with your project portfolio.
You can include a wide range of features in your time tracking software for architects, depending on what your studio's workflow looks like. A great resource management app usually mixes classic functional blocks with AI-powered intelligence:
- AI-Powered Intelligence – Use Ask AI to let principals query project burn rates conversationally, or set up Database AI Agents to automatically summarize weekly architectural fee summaries.
- Vibe Coding Blocks – Build complex, custom UI elements—like a custom Gantt view for project milestones—using the AI Code block to "vibe code" exactly what you need.
- Softr Workflows – Build native automations (like an over-budget alert) that trigger notifications or sync data whenever a time entry exceeds the estimated phase hours.
- User Portals & Logins – Securely manage access so junior architects only see their own timesheets while project managers have a bird’s-eye view of all resource allocations.
- Forms & Data Collection – Capture project updates with custom forms, drawing file uploads, and specific billable category logic.
- Dashboards & Charts – Visualize your firm's utilization rates and project profitability with real-time charts and summaries.
- Lists & Advanced Filtering – Display and manage your project data with searchable tables of construction phases and detailed time-entry views.
Everything is built using Softr's drag-and-drop blocks, so you can create these features without writing code. Need something more custom? Use the Vibe Coding block to generate a tailored billable-hour calculator with AI. And if your needs change, it's easy to update the software later.
Vibe coding is all about moving fast and using AI to build exactly what you need. You can "vibe code" a time tracking software for architects in Softr by simply describing your requirements, such as phase-based tracking or overtime calculations, to the AI Co-Builder. Softr then generates a production-ready app on top of a stable, secure foundation.
Unlike other tools that just generate raw, fragile code, Softr handles the "boring 80%"—like firm-wide authentication, database logic for hours, and security—natively. This means you get the speed of vibe coding without the "Day Two" headaches of managing raw code. You describe your architectural workflow, Softr builds it, and it’s ready for your design team instantly.
Yes. You can manage multiple design teams or departments in a single resource management portal. Each architect only sees the projects and tasks assigned to them, based on their login and role. This is useful for large firms working across multiple sectors like residential, commercial, or landscape architecture.
Yes, you can. You don't need to bring your project list or employee directory from somewhere else to start building with Softr. If you're starting from scratch, you can use Softr Databases, which is built into the platform and integrates perfectly with the time tracking application you build.
But if you already have project data in tools like Airtable, Google Sheets, HubSpot, Notion, or SQL, you can connect those too. You can also use the REST API connector to bring in data from architectural accounting software. Either way, you have full control over how your billable hours data is structured and displayed.
Softr Databases is the recommended native, relational data source for Softr. It is built explicitly for business apps, offering the highest performance for tracking complex project phases and a lightning-fast experience because the data is native to the platform.
If you already have your architectural project data elsewhere, Softr also connects to 17+ external data sources. You can connect to Airtable, Google Sheets, SmartSuite, and more. You can even integrate multiple data sources into the same app—so your software could pull project phases from Softr Databases and client contact info from HubSpot at once. Most sources support real-time, two-way sync, so time logs stay in sync automatically across your firm.
Yes, Softr gives you full control over how your staff experiences the time tracking portal. You can customize the layout, navigation, and billing forms to match your firm's workflow. Each dashboard or block can be shown or hidden based on who's logged in, so each architect sees only the project files and tasks relevant to them.
You can also set up different user roles—such as Principal, Project Manager, or Intern—and define exactly what each role can view or edit. For example, interns can only log hours, while project managers can approve timesheets and view budget status. This level of customization keeps your firm's financial data secure and the interface clean for your team.
Yes, you can fully white-label your time tracking software in Softr. You can use your firm's logo, brand colors, typography, and a custom domain (e.g., portal.yourfirm.com) to make the software feel like a professional internal tool. You can also remove all Softr branding, so your staff and clients only see your company's identity throughout the time logging experience.
Yes, you can. Softr gives you a lot of flexibility to control both the design and layout of your resource management portal. You can adjust colors and spacing to match your brand's design standards. You can also choose how project phases are laid out, which blocks go where, and what specific metrics—like remaining budget—users see when they log in.
To display your time data, you can add different types of blocks:
- Table blocks – to show structured lists of project phases and billing codes.
- List or Card blocks – to highlight project status or team assignments.
- Detail View – to show a comprehensive breakdown of a single project's hours.
- Forms – for quick time entry and submittal.
- Charts – to show team capacity vs. workload.
- Calendar blocks – to display project deadlines and internal milestones.
If your firm expands or your design phases change, it's easy to update the software right in the visual builder.
Softr is built with security in mind. All project and financial data is encrypted in transit (TLS) and at rest, protecting sensitive client information. Softr apps also give you full control over who can see billable rates or hourly totals. You can set up role-based permissions, manage architects directly within your data source, and apply visibility rules to protect sensitive project budgets across your entire firm.
For apps using Softr Databases, your data is stored in Softr's secure environment with SOC 2 Type II compliance. For apps connected to external sources like Airtable or SQL, Softr doesn't store your project data—it just displays it in real time based on your specific firm access settings. You're always in control of your data and who can view or edit timesheets.
It is fully production-ready. Unlike many AI tools that just "vibe code"—generating fragile code for simple prototypes—Softr builds your time tracking software on top of a stable, business-grade foundation that can handle complex architectural workflows.
We handle the "boring 80%" (like firm-wide authentication, secure cloud hosting, and granular permissions for sensitive data) natively, so you don't have to. This solves the "Day Two" problem of AI: you get the speed of instant generation without the headache of managing raw, unreliable code. Your time tracking app is secure, scalable, and ready for your architects to use from day one.
Softr is the first AI-native platform for building business software. Unlike generic time tracking tools that force you into a fixed workflow, or pure coding tools that require developers, Softr's AI Co-Builder creates an app tailored to your firm's specific project phases and billing structures.
What sets it apart is the hybrid advantage: you can use AI to generate your project database and tracking logic in minutes, then use visual controls to tweak the interface to your firm's exact needs. You get the speed of AI with the reliability of business-grade infrastructure already built-in. It's designed for architectural firms who want to move from manual spreadsheets to a professional production tool immediately.
Yes. Softr supports powerful native workflows and architectural tool integrations so you can connect your time tracking to the rest of your studio stack. You can automate tasks using Softr Workflows, such as triggering an invoice in Stripe or notifying a principal via Slack when a phase is complete. Softr also supports REST API and webhooks for advanced sync with project management tools.
Whether you need to send time data to a payroll system, trigger budget alerts based on hour logs, or display client info from another CRM, you can build it into your portal without writing code.
Describe what you need. Softr's AI builds your architecture time tracking app in minutes.
