TypeSpan is the analytics layer for your Glyphs workflow. It tracks editing time automatically and turns raw activity into clear, decision-ready insights for solo designers, foundries, and teams.
The plugin runs quietly in the background while you design. No timers. No manual input. It records per-glyph, per-master activity with hourly precision, so your dataset stays reliable without changing your creative flow.
See live metrics directly inside the Glyphs editor: total font time, master-level progress, and per-glyph effort. Customize layout, position, and display size to match your workspace and keep context visible while you work.
Export in one click and open a full interactive report in your browser. Analyze daily patterns, heatmaps, master distribution, and glyph-level timelines with filters for color, export status, Unicode blocks, and date range. Built for fast drill-downs and clear decision making. Explore the live demo.
Reports are generated from your tracked statistics and opened instantly after export. Share links with teammates or clients for async review and alignment. Pro users can publish permanent share links for long-running projects.
Tracking data lives in your .glyphs file. Only the time analytics required for reporting are uploaded at export. Your source outlines, design assets, and full font files are never shared.
