Automated Timekeeping for Lawyers.

The worlds first truly automated timekeeper: from entry to release.

Take back your time.

Arden automatically captures your workday — writing narratives, assigning matters, and applying billing codes in the background. Review, confirm, and release with one click.

Time that writes itself

Arden captures your time two ways. Auto-capture runs quietly in the background of your system, turning your workday into complete entries — narratives, matter assignments, and codes — without you lifting a finger. Prefer to drive? Smart timers work just like the timers you already use, but Arden still writes the narratives and codes for you.
