Time tracking for freelancers

Track every hour. Bill every client.

Hourly is the simple time tracker for people who work alone. Your running timer sits on your iPhone Lock Screen, your week adds itself up, and nothing on the site or in the app tracks you.

Why Hourly

Why Hourly, and not Toggl, Clockify or Harvest?

They are capable tools, built around teams: seats, approvals, managers' dashboards. Hourly is for the freelancer working alone. It does less, on purpose, and it lives on your iPhone.

  • On your Lock Screen

    A running timer shows as a Live Activity on your iPhone Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, and a Home Screen widget keeps today's hours in view. You always know whether the clock is running.

  • Nothing tracking you

    No analytics, no ads and no tracking code, on the site or in the app. The only one looking at your hours is you.

  • One simple price

    Free for up to 3 active clients. Premium is $9 a month or $79 a year, and one subscription covers the web and the iPhone app. No seats, no tiers.

  • Built for one person

    No teams, approvals or seats to set up. Start a timer, see your week, and export it for your invoice.

On iPhone

See it before you sign up

  • Today in the iPhone app: a timer running at 1:47:03 on Website Redesign, with today, this week, billable and unbilled totals.
  • The iPhone Lock Screen with Hourly's Live Activity showing Website Redesign, Lumen & Oak, and the running time.
  • The weekly timesheet in the iPhone app, with each day's entries, times and totals.
  • Reports in the iPhone app: total and billable hours, earnings, and a bar chart of hours by day.
  • Reports filtered to unbilled time, with a button to mark 19 entries as billed.

Questions, answered

Is the free plan really free?

Yes, with no time limit and no card. Free covers 3 active clients and 5 active projects, with the timer, the timesheet, the iPhone app and CSV export. Premium adds unlimited clients and projects, the Reports dashboard and earnings.

What happens when I reach 3 clients?

Nothing breaks and nothing is deleted. Archive a client you have finished with and its slot is free again, because archived clients and projects don't count. Or go Premium for unlimited.

How is Hourly different from Toggl, Clockify or Harvest?

Those are built around teams, with seats, approvals and managers' dashboards. Hourly is for one person: a running timer on your iPhone Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, a Home Screen widget, no analytics or ad tracking, and one flat price for the web and the app.

Can I use it on my phone?

Yes. The iPhone app is free on the App Store and puts a running timer on your Lock Screen. On any other phone, the website works in the browser.

Does Hourly send invoices?

No. Hourly tracks the time, and your invoicing tool or spreadsheet makes the invoice. Export the entries to CSV, mark them as billed, and Hourly shows the billable time you haven't billed yet. That works on every plan.

Can I get my data out?

Yes, on every plan. Export your entries to CSV whenever you like. It is your data.

Your hours are worth counting.
