Simple Time Tracking for Independent Contractors

Published {$created} by Tina Blum


When you are an independent contractor, time is money!

Every billable hour matters – not just for invoicing, but for understanding how you spend your day, meeting deadlines, and keeping your clients happy.


I have said this many times before... time tracking is often more frustrating than helpful.

Many tools feel like they’re made for large teams, not solo professionals. Others has so many features that you need a manual to use them, and you will never get to know the full system.

That’s not what you need when your goal is to get work done and get paid.

What you need is a simple system that fits your workflow.


Time tracking becomes a burden

Many contractors start by tracking time in a spreadsheet or a notes app. It works… until it doesn’t.

You forget to log hours. You misplace a note. You try to piece together your week on a Friday afternoon and realize you've missed two billable meetings.

Then you try one of the “big” time tracking tools. It's powerful – but also overwhelming. Custom fields, complex settings, 20-click processes… and suddenly you’re spending more time tracking than working.

Sounds familiar?


We want simplicity

We want it to be simple and easy.

For us it means that:

  • You actually use it every day

  • You log time when the work happens – not days later

  • You can generate reports in seconds

  • You don't need a large manual to show you how to do things

That’s why we believe the best time tracking tool is the one you’ll actually use. And that means it has to be easy.
