Stintt vs Memtime
- Nothing installed on the laptop
- Timesheet drafted from calendar events
- Log off-calendar work from a chat message
Memtime records everything you do on your own machine and never uploads it. Stintt captures from the calendar instead — server-side, and shareable with the team when you approve it.

- An app runs on every machine

Calendar events, read-only
- The week is already written down
- Chat covers what never got booked
- No agent on anyone’s laptop
Accurate, but it means software watching every machine all day.
The recorder is a desktop application by design — that is what keeps the data local.
Stintt vs Memtime, row by row
The same twelve rows every comparison on this site uses, so nothing is cherry-picked for Memtime. Where a capability is optional or plan-gated, it is marked partly rather than rounded either way.
Memtime made an unusual and defensible choice: the recorder runs locally, the data never leaves the machine, and no manager can see it. For an individual professional who wants perfect recall of their own day, that is a genuinely strong design. It is also the reason it stops short of what a billing team needs — data that never leaves the laptop cannot be approved, aggregated or turned into a client invoice by anyone else. Stintt covers the other half of that problem: capture that is automatic and shared by design, from a source that was never private in the first place.

Three steps, and none of them is a migration.
There is no import from Memtime, and pretending otherwise would be the first promise we broke. There does not need to be — a connected calendar arrives carrying the history a new tracker would spend months collecting.
Connect a calendar
Read-only access, granted once. It cannot create, edit or delete an event, and there is nothing to install on anyone's machine.
The history is already there
Existing calendar events become a draft timesheet immediately, so the first week is a review rather than an empty grid waiting for data to accrue.
Review, approve, bill
Correct the draft, log anything off-calendar from chat, and approve. Only approved entries reach a client invoice, and discarded time stays on the record.
What Memtime leaves on the table
Three specific things, not a feature count.
Time that a team can actually use
Memtime's privacy model means the record stops at the laptop. Stintt's hours can be reviewed, approved, aggregated and invoiced — which is the point of tracking them in an agency.
No software on the machine at all
Local-only is a good answer to "who can see this". No recorder is a better one, and a calendar sync needs nothing running.
Straight through to an invoice
Approved hours become client line items with rates and tax handling, without exporting a file first.
When Memtime is the better choice
If you are a solo professional who wants a perfect, private record of your own day with no data leaving your machine, Memtime's local-only design is unmatched and Stintt is not trying to compete with it.
If none of that describes your team, the rest of this page is the case for switching. If some of it does, Memtime is a reasonable buy and we would rather you knew that here than after a trial.
What people ask about Memtime and Stintt
On our servers, encrypted, with read-only calendar access at metadata level — event times, titles and attendee counts, not document contents or screen activity. See the security and data-access pages for the exact scopes. It is a different trade: shared and reviewable, rather than private and local.
No. There is no desktop agent, so app and document activity is never collected at all — by us or by your manager.
Yes — a review inbox, approve or send back with a note, and client invoices generated from approved hours. That is the half of the problem a local-only recorder deliberately leaves alone.
