Simply Track Time
Read full descriptionHide full description
Track the hours you work for each client, then turn the month into an invoice. Simply Track Time is built around three moments: start the clock when work begins, stop it when you're done, and bill your client at the end of the month. START IN ONE TAP • Add a client, add the tasks you do for them, press play • Resume your last task from Control Center, the Lock Screen or the widget • Pause and resume as often as you like – pauses never count as work • The clock keeps running when the app is closed, and survives a restart • On iPhone, a Live Activity shows the running clock on the Lock Screen • An optional reminder asks whether you're still working, so a forgotten timer never ends up on an invoice • Set an hour budget for a client or task; its clock badge turns red when the budget is used up SEE YOUR MONTH • Today, this week, this month and the billable amount at a glance • A month map lights up every day you worked, in the colours of your tasks • Every task's share of your time as a bar • Each day as a log: start, end, pauses and notes • Charts for every client and task, ready to copy or share BILL YOUR CLIENTS (PREMIUM) • One invoice per client and month, with a line for each billable task • Hours × your hourly rate, rounded the way an invoice should be – every line adds up to the total • Your company details, your client's address and VAT ID, tax, payment terms and bank details • US or European layout, in your currency • Invoice numbers that never repeat, on all your devices • Share, save or print the PDF YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS • No account, no sign-up, no tracking • Syncs through your own iCloud between iPhone, iPad and Mac • Export your entries as CSV for your accountant • Available in 12 languages PREMIUM Time tracking, the dashboard, charts and exports are free, forever.
