About

Timen

Features
Read full description

Timen is a free time tracker for people who bill by the hour: freelancers, consultants, and small teams. It works as two halves of one product. This app captures your time wherever work happens, and Timen on the web turns it into invoices, exports, and team reports at your desk. Same account, same data, always in sync. Hours don't get lost at the desk. They get lost on the move: the client call in the car, the site visit, the fix done from a cafe. That's what the phone is for. TIMER Start a timer the moment you start working, with a description, a billable switch, and nothing in the way. Stop it, resume it, or let it run past midnight. Forgot to track? Add a past entry in a few taps. CALENDAR Your week, hour by hour. Review and edit entries day by day, or add time straight onto any date. REPORTS See where your time went: totals and billable hours, grouped by day, project, client, person, or tag. Pick a preset range or set your own, and filter down to exactly the work you're asking about. PROJECTS, CLIENTS, AND TAGS File every entry where it belongs. Create new projects and clients right from your phone, so records stay clean even when the client is brand new. WORKS OFFLINE No signal, no problem. Entries are saved on your device and sync when you're back online, so time tracked on a flight or a job site is never lost. THEN, AT YOUR DESK Open gettimen.com and the hours you tracked are already there. On the web, the same free account does the office work: turn tracked time into client invoices, export your data, invite your team, and review everyone's hours together. Track on the go, bill from your desk. FREE MEANS FREE No tiers, no per-user pricing, nothing locked. Timen is built by the team behind Breeze, and the whole product is free on your phone and on the web. If it saves you time, you can leave a voluntary contribution. It's optional and unlocks nothing, because everything is already included.
