Hours you never bill are money you never see. INCOME Timer turns every working session into a number you can watch grow — and, at the end of the month, into a billing summary you can send with your invoice. Built for freelancers, contractors, consultants, tutors and anyone paid by the hour. No account, no cloud, and the timer works offline — in 8 languages. Start the timer, watch your earnings tick up in real time on the signature three-ring dial, and stop when you are done. Sessions remember the rate they were tracked at, so your history never rewrites itself. WHY INCOME TIMER - See your money grow second by second while you work — motivation built in - Keep clients, projects and work types in one place, each with its own rate - Know at a glance who owes what and which hours are still unbilled - Export invoice-ready XLSX and PDF billing summaries in two taps - Your sessions, clients and rates stay on your phone: no sign-up, no server WHO IT IS FOR - Freelancers and contractors who bill by the hour and hate timesheets - Consultants and agencies juggling several clients at different rates - Designers, developers, writers, translators and tutors working per project - Gig and remote workers who just want to see what a shift is really worth - Anyone on an hourly, daily, weekly, monthly or yearly rate CORE FEATURES - Real-time earnings timer with pauses and a running total for today - Rates per hour, day, week, month or year, in 50+ currencies - Clients and projects with per-project rates and unbilled totals - Work types with their own rates — web work billed differently than design - Reports with charts, trends and currency conversion for any period - Billing summaries with mark-as-billed, so nothing is invoiced twice - Session editor with overnight support and pause management, for the sessions you forgot to start - iOS Live Activity keeps the running timer on your Lock Screen - Dark-first design built around the three-ring dial SPEAKS YOUR LANGUAGE English, Czech, Hindi, Urdu, Bengali, Indonesian, Portuguese and Spanish — with 50+ currencies and correct number formatting in every one of them. FREE AND PREMIUM The timer, session history and basic reports are free, supported by a small banner. Premium unlocks clients, projects, work types, charts, billing summaries and exports, and removes ads — as a monthly or yearly subscription (with a free trial) or a one-time lifetime purchase. Ads alone can also be removed with a separate one-time purchase. Your data is never held hostage: if Premium lapses, everything stays readable. YOUR WORK DATA STAYS WITH YOU No account, no cloud. Every session, client and rate lives on your device, and the timer works offline. The app goes online only for exchange rates, fonts for PDF exports, in-app purchases and ads. The free version shows banner ads from Google AdMob, which track you across apps only if you allow it when asked. Premium or the one-time ad removal turns ads off.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: BreadStack at none against INCOME Timer's 1. BreadStack also leads on ads (none vs shown). INCOME Timer's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
