Our story
Chron started as a scrappy fix for a problem we had ourselves. It became something people wanted. We're still figuring it out — and we ship every week.
How Chron started
In 2019, our founders were running a small digital agency. At the end of each month, they'd spend hours piecing together spreadsheets and chat messages trying to figure out what their team had actually worked on — and whether they'd been profitable. The existing tools were either too expensive, too complicated, or designed for freelancers rather than teams.
So they built a simple internal tool. Within a few months, other agencies started asking for access. By 2021, Chron was a full product with paying customers. Today, over 10,000 teams in 80+ countries use it every day.
We're still bootstrapped — no VC pressure to grow at all costs. Our incentive is simple: if you find value in Chron, you'll keep subscribing. That keeps us focused on building things that actually matter to you.
Mission
To give every team complete visibility into their time, so they can make better decisions, deliver better work, and build more profitable businesses.
Vision
A world where every hour of work is accounted for, valued fairly, and used as a lever for continuous improvement — for teams of all sizes.
Values
Simplicity first. Respect for user time. Radical transparency. We build features our customers ask for, not features that look impressive on demos.
The team
A small, focused group with a shared obsession: making time tracking so effortless that people actually do it.
