Deadlio Sense · Time capture
Sense records how each working day is spent on each client – the sites used in Chrome, page titles and active time, during your working hours only – and matches it to your clients automatically. Staff always see when it is on. Timesheets, a practice Overview and time against fees, ready to print or export. It works for any firm that wants to know where its time goes, client by client.
Deadlio Sense can also record automatically how every working day is spent on each client, for the whole team. Staff do nothing and cannot change the records. It is off unless the practice owner switches it on.

File it once, or add a rule, and Sense remembers next time.

Whatever kind of firm you are, choose your business type when you set up and Sense uses the right practice tools and client matching. Firms that do not need company deadlines can switch off Company Watch, the company deadlines part.
No. Company Watch works as soon as you add the extension. You only sign in to Deadlio Sense if your practice wants time capture.

Any firm that works for clients and wants to know where its time goes. You don't need to be an accountancy firm.
When you set up, you choose your business type. That tells Sense which sites and programs are your own practice tools (counted as practice time, not client work) and which client details to look for: company numbers, client names, client emails and client codes. You can add your own rules on top, for example a client reference that appears in your file names or page titles. Anything Sense can't match is listed on the dashboard for an admin to file once, and Sense remembers it next time.
Everything else works the same for every firm: time is recorded only in your working hours, staff always see when it is on, and you get timesheets, the practice Overview and time against each client's fee. If you don't need UK company deadlines, switch off Company Watch and your staff will only see Sense.
Not unless your employer switches on Time capture. On its own, it only reads the company number in the address of Companies House company pages, so it can show that company's deadlines. If your practice switches on Time capture, it records the sites you use in Chrome and their page titles (and, with the desktop helper, the programs you use and their window titles) during working hours, and you always see "Time capture on" while it does. The practice owner sees the name of each site and program, including ones sorted under Personal. It never records page content, typing, passwords or screenshots. If your practice uses the Client finder, the page is checked on your computer against your practice's client list and only the client found is recorded. See our privacy notice.
No. Only the practice owner or an admin can switch it on or off, for everyone or for one person. Staff always see when it is recording, and can ask the practice for a copy of their records.
A small Windows program with no screens of its own that tells Deadlio Sense which program is in use (for example "ACME accounts 2027.xlsx – Excel"), so time outside Chrome is recorded by name. It reads only the program name and window title, never file contents, typing or the screen. It installs for the current Windows user without admin rights and can be removed at any time.
Encrypted on Deadlio's servers in the UK/EU, readable only by the practice owner and admins, and deleted automatically after the practice's retention period (2 years by default). The practice is the controller; Deadlio is its processor.
Right-click the Deadlio Sense icon in your toolbar and choose Remove from Chrome. This also deletes your watchlist and settings.
Company Watch is free in the same extension: deadlines, penalty estimates and reminders.
