ClockMe + Notion

Notion is excellent for roadmaps, specs, and project documentation — but it has no running timer, no billing rates, and no invoice export. ClockMe is the dedicated time tracker that lives alongside Notion: use Notion for what you manage, use ClockMe for what you bill. The ClockMe REST API lets you post time entries from Notion automations, Make, or Zapier, and a native Notion integration is on the roadmap.

What gets automated

→Log time entries to ClockMe from Notion automations via REST API
→Use Make or Zapier to turn Notion task completions into ClockMe time entries
→Track AI coding sessions automatically via MCP alongside Notion-managed projects
→Generate invoices in ClockMe for projects managed in Notion
→Coming soon: native Notion integration with two-way task and time sync

How to connect Notion

Create a ClockMe account and get an API key

Sign up at clockme.co. Go to Settings, then API Keys, then Generate. This key is used by Notion automations and any HTTP-based integrations.

Create ClockMe projects mirroring your Notion pages

Create one ClockMe project for each client or work area you have in Notion. Copy the project ID from the URL.

Connect via Make or Zapier (optional)

Use a Notion database button or automation to POST time entries to the ClockMe API. The endpoint accepts projectId, startTime, endTime, and description.

Track manually or via AI for the rest

For coding sessions, use the Claude Code MCP hook. For meetings and writing sessions tracked in Notion, log time manually in ClockMe or via the Chrome extension.

Natural language commands

Ask in plain English

You: “I just finished the Notion planning doc — log 90 minutes on the strategy project”

ClockMe: Logged 1h 30m on Strategy project. Description: Planning session.

You: “How many hours on the Q2 project this month?”

ClockMe: 28h logged on Q2 project this month. $2,800 at $100/hr.

You: “Start a timer — I'm writing the product spec in Notion”

ClockMe: Timer started on Product project. Stop it when you are done and it will be logged.

You: “Generate an invoice for the Strategy project for May”

ClockMe: Invoice generated: 28h × $100 = $2,800. Download PDF.

FAQ

Notion integration questions

Can I use Notion for project management and ClockMe for time tracking at the same time?

Yes — this is the recommended approach. Use Notion for roadmaps, docs, and task management. Use ClockMe for the time that needs to be billed. They do not overlap and integrate well via the REST API.

Does the ClockMe API accept time entries from Notion automations?

Yes. The ClockMe REST API accepts POST requests to /api/entries with startTime, endTime, projectId, and description. You can trigger this from Notion's built-in automation, Make, or Zapier when a task is completed.

Is there a native Notion integration coming?

Yes. A native Notion integration is on the ClockMe roadmap. It will sync Notion database items as ClockMe tasks and support logging time entries directly from Notion pages.

I track time in a Notion database today — how do I migrate?

Export your Notion database as CSV, reformat the date and duration columns, and import via the ClockMe API. Future releases will include a direct import flow.
