Time Tracking for Freelancers

The freelancer's eternal question: 'How many hours did I actually spend on that project?' The timer answers it. Click start when you begin working, click stop when you're done — billable time tracked to the second. Set different hourly rates per client (your design rate and consulting rate might be different), and when the project wraps, select the time entries and convert them to an itemized invoice with one click. No manual timesheet math, no 'I think it was about 8 hours.'

Quick Answer

Time tracking captures billable hours with a start-stop timer, supports different hourly rates per client, and converts selected time entries into an itemized invoice in one click. No manual timesheet math and no guessing how many hours a project took.

Best for

  • Freelancers billing hourly who currently guess their hours
  • Consultants with different rates per client or project
  • People who want invoices that exactly match logged time

Not ideal for

  • Fixed-price project work where hours do not matter
  • Agencies that need team-wide timesheets and approvals

The timer tracks your own entries. Hours from external trackers or imported timesheets have to be entered manually.

What You Get

How It Works

1

Start the timer

Click start when you begin working on a client project. Assign it to the client and add a description of what you're working on. The timer runs in the background.

2

Stop and review

Stop the timer when you're done. Review your time entries for the day or week. Edit descriptions, adjust durations, or add manual entries for work you forgot to track.

3

Convert to invoice

Select the time entries you want to bill, click 'Create Invoice,' and the AI generates a professional invoice with line items, hourly rates, and totals calculated automatically.

Use Cases

Hourly consultants and coaches

Start the timer at the beginning of each client session. At the end of the month, select all sessions for a client and generate an itemized invoice in one click.

Developers billing by the hour

Track coding time per project. The timer runs while you work, and each entry is tagged with the client and project. End-of-month invoicing takes minutes instead of hours.

Multi-rate freelancers

You charge different rates for different types of work — $85/hr for development, $60/hr for consulting. Set rates per service type and the AI applies the correct rate when generating invoices.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I set different hourly rates for different clients?

Yes. Set a default hourly rate in your settings, then override it per client or per project. When converting time entries to invoices, the correct rate is automatically applied based on the client and project assigned to each time entry.

What if I forget to start the timer?

You can manually add time entries after the fact. Enter the start time, end time (or duration), client, project, and description. Manual entries are treated the same as timer-tracked entries for invoicing and reporting.

Can I track time in different currencies?

Yes. Each time entry can use its own currency. When converted to an invoice, the time entry amounts are included in the invoice's currency using daily exchange rates. This is useful for freelancers who work with clients in different countries.

Can I see how much time I'm spending per client or project?

Yes. The time tracking dashboard shows breakdowns by client, project, week, and month. See total billable hours, total billable amount, and compare against non-billable time.
