Hourtick for freelancers
A free time tracker for freelancers
As a freelancer, your time is your inventory. Hourtick is free forever — every feature included — with a timer in your Mac menu bar and reports that tell you exactly what to invoice.
Free forever
Every feature, unlimited projects and clients, 500 MB of usage a month.
Menu bar timer
See the running time next to the clock; start or stop without opening a window.
What to invoice
The report shows billable, uninvoiced hours and their value per client.
The problem
- Forgetting to start the timer
- Guessing hours at invoice time
- Paying for features you don't use
