Privacy-safe time context
Use effective assigned time for planning and review while keeping the detailed application and browsing context that Lumen observes out of the shared Kato workspace.
What you can do
Connect a personal Lumen account and select a workspace without exposing application names, window titles, or URLs.
Personal authorization
Each member connects the Lumen account they are permitted to use rather than sharing one person's credentials across an entire Kato workspace.
Manual corrections flow back
Supported manual time changes can be written back to Lumen, helping the connected systems agree without making Kato the owner of raw automatic tracking data.
Connect Lumen
Each member installs OAuth application credentials supplied by an authorized Lumen owner or admin, then personally authorizes the Lumen account they want to connect. Recent effective segments are cached with interval replacement, and manual changes are written back to Lumen.
- 01Install OAuth application credentials supplied by an authorized Lumen owner or admin, then authorize the Lumen account you want to connect.
- 02Select the Lumen workspace whose categories, clients, and effective time you want to use.
- 03Optionally map the Kato workspace for owner/admin Team time views.
Made for your workflow
Task effort review
Compare assigned effective time with the task estimate during a project review and adjust future planning without exposing an individual's detailed computer activity.
Team capacity conversations
Authorized owners and admins can use mapped workspace time as one input when discussing workload, estimates, and delivery patterns with the team.
Time correction
Add or adjust supported manual entries when work needs a clearer assignment, then keep Lumen as the source for the resulting effective-time history.
Common questions
Does Kato import window titles or URLs from Lumen?
No. The integration is designed around effective assigned time and does not expose application names, window titles, or URLs in the Kato workspace.
Does every teammate authorize separately?
Yes. Members authorize the personal Lumen account they intend to connect. Owner or admin involvement may still be needed to supply application credentials or map team views.
Where does automatic tracking happen?
Lumen remains responsible for automatic tracking and its detailed private context. Kato consumes the effective time needed to support connected work and planning.
