Their Pitch

Turn hours into profit.

Our Take

It's a time tracker that turns logged hours into invoices. Does exactly what it says without the surveillance features that make everyone uncomfortable.

Deep Dive & Reality Check

Used For

  • +**You're working 60-hour weeks but only billing for 35 because you forgot to track half your time** → One-click timers from your existing tools capture everything automatically
  • +**Client projects always go over budget and you find out too late** → Real-time budget tracking shows you're at 80% before you hit the danger zone
  • +**You're spending 3 hours every week creating invoices from scattered time logs** → Tracked hours become invoices with one click, payments through Stripe or PayPal
  • +Connects to 50+ tools like Asana and Slack - start timers without switching apps
  • +Timesheet approvals before invoicing - catch mistakes before clients see them

Best For

  • >Freelancers tired of forgetting to track billable hours and eating the cost
  • >Small agencies where everyone works on different client projects
  • >Anyone who needs to turn time into money without GPS tracking their bathroom breaks

Not For

  • -Field workers who need GPS tracking — this is for desk-based teams only
  • -Companies wanting automatic time tracking or employee monitoring — it's all manual timers and trust
  • -Anyone who needs payroll integration — you'll export to CSV and handle it elsewhere

Pairs With

  • *Asana (where you actually manage projects but need to track time spent on each task)
  • *QuickBooks Online (to sync invoices and keep your accountant happy)
  • *Slack (to start timers when clients message you without leaving the conversation)
  • *Trello (adds Harvest buttons to cards so you don't forget to track design revisions)
  • *Stripe (to collect invoice payments because chasing clients for checks is soul-crushing)

The Catch

  • !No automatic tracking means you still need to remember to start the timer or you're back to square one
  • !Phone support is locked behind paid plans — free users get email only
  • !The desktop app has idle detection but you manually decide what to keep, so distracted people will still lose time

Bottom Line

The only time tracker that doesn't feel like Big Brother is watching — just timers, invoices, and budget alerts.
