# Ways to track time

There's no single "right" way to track time in Zipwire. Pick whichever fits the moment—or mix and match, since it all lands in the same [Journal](/zipwire-approve/unboxing-key-concepts/the-journal.md).

## On the website

Built mobile-first, so it's just as quick to log time from your phone between meetings as it is from your desktop at the end of the day. Tap through the week, add time against an activity, save.

## Over WhatsApp

Chat your hours in plain English—no app to open, no forms to fill. Our bot, powered by ChatGPT, figures out the activity and duration from a normal sentence.

## From the terminal (CLI)

If you'd rather stay in the command line, the `zw` CLI lets you track time, create timesheets, and send them for approval without leaving your terminal.

## From your own AI agent (MCP)

Building or using an AI agent already? Zipwire runs an MCP server so agents like Claude can track time, create timesheets, and more, using the same API as everything else.

However you like it, there's no excuse for not doing your timesheet.
