Log your day in a swipe and watch your billable total add up. Clocktower is a visual time tracker for people who bill for their hours: drop your hours as a stack of colored blocks, assign each to a project, and see the total in real time. LOG WITH JUST A SWIPE Swipe up to drop a time block, then tap a project to assign it. No forms, no fiddly start and stop. Add a note if you want one. BUILT TO INVOICE Give each project its own hourly rate and Clocktower turns tracked hours into billable totals automatically. When it is time to bill, filter by project and date range and export a clean timesheet. REMINDERS SO NOTHING SLIPS Turn on daily reminders to log your hours. Your timesheet stops being a guess at the end of the week. KNOW WHERE THE HOURS WENT Reports break your time down by project and by week, with earnings shown in your own currency. START A TIMER IN A TAP Running late on logging? Start a live timer from the app, the home screen widget, or the Lock Screen, and it lands in the right block. ON EVERY DEVICE Clocktower runs on iPhone, iPad, and Mac, and your hours sync privately through iCloud across all of them. There is no account to create and no sign up. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Clocktower has no ads and no tracking. Your time data stays in your own iCloud, not on our servers. Clocktower is free to track up to five projects. Clocktower Pro unlocks unlimited projects. Clocktower Pro is available as an auto-renewing monthly or yearly subscription, or as a one time lifetime purchase. Subscription prices are shown in the app before you buy. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation. A subscription renews automatically unless you turn off auto-renew at least 24 hours before the current period ends. You can manage or cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings.

It is not a subscription, and it unlocks nothing else β—† PRIVACY FIRST β€’ Everything stays on your device β€” no account required β€’ What you log is never used for advertising β€’ Nothing you log ever leaves your device The first step to changing how you spend your time is knowing how you spend it.
