Hourlo
Read full descriptionHide full description
A time tracker for a job, freelance clients and personal time โ in one app. Start in one tap. Today shows your goal and billable total. The running timer stays on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island as a Live Activity, so you can pause or stop without opening Hourlo. A Home Screen widget keeps the same snapshot in reach. Your day is a timeline: every block, every break, every gap. Fix My Day suggests fills from your calendar and likely breaks, then applies them in a tap. See the week, month and year: progress against your target, a category breakdown and the projects that actually took the time. Clients, projects, rates and budgets stay on the hours. When you are ready to bill, export PDF, CSV or Excel โ or an invoice. Workspaces keep employed work, freelance and personal time in separate spaces, each with its own schedule, targets and currency. Arrive at a saved place and Hourlo can start the timer; leave and it can stop, with a confirmation if you want one. iOS delivers those geofence events on a best-effort basis โ a helper, not a guaranteed punch clock. On Apple Watch: start, pause and stop, Quick Start tiles and a complication. Shortcuts and Siri can start work, a project, a category or a break. Your time, projects, clients and places stay on this iPhone. There is no Hourlo account and no Hourlo cloud. Purchases go through the App Store; nothing else is uploaded as a profile.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PaperAir at none against Hourlo's 1. PaperAir also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). Hourlo's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 4 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
