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.
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 problem
- Interruptions from tools that nag
- Losing track of revisions per client
- Estimating the next project with no data
How designers set up Hourtick
- One project per client or brand, task types like Concepts, Revisions, Production.
- Start the timer from the menu bar and forget about it.
- Step away? Hourtick asks whether to keep or remove the idle time.
- Use last project's report to estimate the next one.
In practice
A brand designer learns that revisions take 40% of project time and adds a revision clause to proposals.
