And then, when I did find one that would work, after a time, they would change plans and features I relied on became an upgrade. I got tired of running that particular hamster wheel. So I created GetClocked. I decided to take a different approach. You get everything from day one. There are no usage limits, no premium upgrades, and no recurring fees. Just install it, track your time, and get back to work. If you enjoy using GetClocked and would like to support future development, optional donations are always appreciated—but never required.
