It’s About Time: Because Your Hours Are Worth Tracking

The Freelancer’s Dilemma

It’s Friday afternoon. Client wants an invoice. You open your spreadsheet. When did you work on their project? Was it 3 hours on Tuesday or 4? What about that “quick call” that turned into 45 minutes? And the emails – do you bill for those?

You spend 30 minutes reconstructing your week. The invoice is an educated guess. You’re probably undercharging. Again.

Sound familiar?

The €2,847 Problem

Studies show freelancers and consultants lose an average of €2,847 per year to:

  • Untracked time (those “quick” tasks that add up)
  • Forgotten billable hours (the call you didn’t log)
  • Underestimating project time (because guessing isn’t measuring)
  • Invoice disputes (client says 10 hours, you think 15)

For an agency with 5 people, that’s €14,235 walking out the door annually. Real money. Gone.

How We Glued It Together

It’s About Time is time tracking that gets out of your way.

One Click to Start: Hit the button. Timer runs. That’s it. No forms to fill. No categories to select (unless you want to). Just track.

Smart Analytics: Beautiful dashboards that show exactly where your time goes. By project. By client. By day. By week. See patterns. Make decisions.

Instant Invoicing: Turn tracked time into professional invoices with a click. Multiple currencies. Custom rates per project. Send directly to clients.

Team Collaboration: Invite your team. Assign projects. See everyone’s progress in real-time. Perfect for agencies and distributed teams.

How It Works (The Real Story)

Step 2: Add Your Projects

Create a project. Set the client. Add an hourly rate if billable. Invite team members if needed.

Step 3: Track Your Time

Click to start a timer. Click to stop. Add a note if you want. Or enter time manually at end of day. Your choice.

Step 4: Review and Report

Check your dashboard. See where your time went. Generate reports for clients or your own records.

Step 5: Invoice and Get Paid

Select the time entries. Generate an invoice. Send to client. Track payment status. Celebrate.
