ShiftClick is the fastest way to track billable time. Built for freelancers, contractors, consultants, and anyone who works — and bills — by the hour. Tap once to start, tap once to stop. That's it. Right on Your Lock Screen Your running timer lives in the Dynamic Island and on your Lock Screen with a Live Activity. Pause or stop it right there — no need to open the app. One Hour, One Press Press and hold Start to log a full hour instantly. If it runs into your last entry, ShiftClick extends that entry instead of overlapping it. Snap to the Hour Bill in clean, full-hour increments. ShiftClick can round any session up to the next whole hour automatically — perfect for invoicing — or keep the exact minutes when you need them. Toggle it per entry or for everything. Tag Your Work Label sessions by client, project, or task. Set a default tag so tracking stays one tap, and tag on the fly while the timer runs or right after you stop. Never Lose a Minute Forgot to start? Add or edit any entry by hand. Set a minimum duration so accidental taps don't clutter your log. Export When You Need It Send your complete time log to CSV in one tap — ready for invoicing, spreadsheets, or your accountant. Share it anywhere. Your Data Stays Yours No account. No sign-up. No cloud. Everything lives on your device, full stop. ShiftClick doesn't collect, track, or transmit anything. Designed to Disappear A clean, modern interface that gets out of your way.
