Hourtick for designers
Time tracking for designers that doesn't break flow
Design work happens in long, focused sessions. Hourtick stays in the menu bar showing just the running time — no pop-ups, no nagging — until you step away, when it offers to remove the idle time.
- Free for your whole team, forever
- No credit card
- Every feature included
Quiet by design
Just 1:23 next to your clock. No seconds, no flashing.
Idle detection
Ten minutes without input and Hourtick asks what to do with that time.
Revision visibility
Track Revisions as a task type and see how many hours clients really cost.
The real product
