What Toggl does well
Fast to start
A timer that launches in two clicks. Toggl has refined that simplicity for more than a decade, and it shows.
Multi-platform
Native apps on macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS, and Android. Solid browser extension. The same timer follows you everywhere.
Native integrations
Over 100 direct integrations — Asana, Jira, Notion, GitHub, Slack. If you live in a SaaS stack, Toggl already plugs in.
Generous free plan
Up to 5 users free, with no project cap. For a small team just starting out, it's a real offer.
Where Sablio takes a different turn
- 01
No productivity score
Toggl Track Insights assigns trend lines and percentages of “productive time.” Sablio offers none. Time tracking is for fair invoicing, not self-evaluation.
- 02
No built-in Pomodoro, no break alerts
Toggl ships a Pomodoro timer and auto reminders. Sablio leans on silence: no chimes, no encouragement pings.
- 03
Hosted in Québec, Law 25 compliant
Toggl is Estonia-based with servers in Europe and the US. Sablio is hosted in Montréal; data doesn't leave Canada.
- 04
Local carnet d'atelier
A local work journal with seven safeguards that stays on your machine. Toggl has no equivalent — their data syncs to the cloud by default.

Migrating from Toggl
Toggl lets you export time entries to CSV from Reports → Detailed → Export. Sablio reads that CSV directly and remaps projects and clients into grains. For a freelancer with a few months of history, expect one to two minutes. If you run a team, we'll walk you through it by hand during the beta — just write us.
Who should stay, who should try
Stay on Toggl if
You rely on native integrations today (Jira, Asana, Notion). You run a distributed team of 10+ on the move. You need a permanent free plan for multiple users. Toggl is a good tool — stay there if it serves you well.
Try Sablio if
You're a freelancer or part of a 2-10 studio, especially in Québec or Canada. You find time-tracking tools too corporate, too chatty, too focused on self-optimization. You want a local work journal, Canadian hosting, and honest pricing.
