Read full description

Fract is the time tracker for consultants, freelancers, and fractional professionals who bill by the hour. One tap logs 6 minutes — the professional services billing standard — to any client or project. No timers to start or stop. No account required. All your data stays on your device. **HOW IT WORKS** Tap when work happens. Use bulk buttons (+30m, +1h) for larger chunks. When you're ready to invoice, tap "Bill This Time" to archive your hours and reset. That's it. **BUILT FOR THE WAY YOU ACTUALLY WORK** The 12-minute email. The call between meetings. The problem you solved on a walk. These are billable moments that existing apps miss because they require you to start a timer before the work begins. Fract lets you log what just happened — immediately, accurately, in under five seconds. **WHAT'S INCLUDED** - One-tap 6-minute logging per client and project - Bulk entry: +6m, +30m, and +1h buttons - Color-coded client and project organization - Week view: hours by day, filterable by client - "Last logged" timestamp on every project card - "Bill This Time" to archive and reset for invoicing - Instant undo for accidental taps - Optional haptic feedback **PRIVACY FIRST** All data stays on your device. No account. No cloud sync. No tracking. The developer does not collect any data. Free. No subscription. No account.
