Just a demo: no account, nothing saved. The clock runs at 60×, so a second is a minute.

Built for the way you bill

Made for freelance developers

Bill in tenths, or not

Billed time rounds to the increment in your contract: exact, 6 minutes (0.1 h), 10, 15, 30 or the full hour.

Timesheets clients can read

Tag entries with a task and a note, and every invoice line shows the date and what was done, so "what was this for?" emails get shorter.

Support and maintenance plans

Sell a monthly or yearly block of hours. Each ticket draws it down, you get a warning near the end, and overage shows up so you can bill it.

Fixed bids with a reality check

Quote the build, track the hours anyway, and watch the effective rate as the scope creeps. Bill the fee in milestones.

Bring in a subcontractor

Invite another developer with a link, free. Their time lands on the same invoice, and their cost rate stays visible only to admins.

Paid by card or bank

On Pro, invoices get a Pay button backed by your own Stripe account, plus automatic reminders at 15, 30 and 45+ days late.

How it works

One sprint, start to invoice

  1. 01

    Add the client

    Set your rate on the client or on each project, and the PO number if they use one.

  2. 02

    Start the timer

    Pick the project and a task like development, review or deployment. Pause for lunch; paused time is never billed.

  3. 03

    Invoice the sprint

    Pick the client, tick the unbilled entries, and the invoice is itemized and rounded for you.

  4. 04

    Book it

    Mark it paid when the money lands, or let Stripe do it on Pro. Pro also exports invoices for QuickBooks Online.

All of that is free. Pro is $5.99 per team a month and adds emailed invoices, reminders, online payments and branded PDFs.

FAQ

Questions

Still stuck? Ask a real person.

01 Does it round to 6-minute increments?

Yes. Choose exact time, 6 minutes (0.1 h), 10, 15, 30 or 60 minutes. Time rounds to the nearest increment, per invoice line.

02 Can I sell a block of support hours?

Yes. A prepaid plan includes a number of hours per month, quarter, six months or year. Work draws it down, and anything past the allowance is shown as overage. Rename it "Support plan" or whatever you sell it as.

03 Can a subcontractor log time with me?

Yes. Inviting your team is free, with no per-seat fees. Invite them as a member, and set an internal cost rate so you can see your margin on their hours.

04 Which currencies can I bill in?

Fifteen, including USD, EUR, GBP, CAD, AUD, CHF, INR and JPY. Each business has one currency, and you can run more than one business from one login.

05 Is there an API?

Not yet. If an API would make or break it for you, tell us at the support page and it moves up the list.
