• Get alerted to log time throughout your working day. • Enter your recently done tasks without interrupting your flow. • Time your tasks as you do them. • Set the days, and frequency, of alerts to fit your working schedule. • Get detailed stats on your projects progress. • See your worth by applying hourly rates to projects and see earnings over time. • Export your tracked information to use it wherever you like. We’re on a mission to rid the world of the pain and time lost entering time into timesheet systems or putting together invoices. iworkie is the simplest and easiest way to monitor tasks and projects over time. Perfect for freelancers and on-the-go employees. Inaccurate time recording is an inherent problem for freelance workers and employees all over the world. We looked at the issues from the point of view of the employee, and not the employer. After all, your boss is simply asking you to enter what you have done without supplying the tools to effectively monitor your work as you go. This leaves employees diving in to calendars and their long term memory while filling in the blanks with guess work to cobble together some record of what they’ve done. The results are wildly inaccurate timesheets, inaccurate billing to clients losing companies millions, and terrible references of historical projects for scoping future work. Many typical time tracking apps ask you to start and stop timers for tasks you are about to do. iworkie reverses that focus and taps into what you have just done, with a quick and simple method of adding time while the details are fresh in your memory. iworkie is perfect for anyone that has to track their time against tasks and projects and submit their hours into timesheets for their employer. iworkie also works perfectly for the freelancers and small business owners to effectively track time spent on client projects. Using iworkie results in a more accurate record of billable time and can even total up the cost of a project over time by applying hourly rates to your projects.

Absolutely minimal intercom system. Create a "Signal" or join someone else's, then use quick communication buttons in situations where it might be useful! Like, strictly hypothetically, when your wife yells up to you in your office that "TEA IS READY", and your dog starts barking until you come down - now, she can simply press the "TEA IS READY" button, you can respond with the "COMING" button, and no barking will ensue!
