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.

The Good Stuff

Time Tracking That Actually Works

Start and stop with one click, from the desktop app, the mobile app or the browser extension. Assign the entry to a project and a client, add a note about what you were actually doing, and enter by hand the time you forgot to start a timer for.

Smart Project Management

Create a project with an estimate in hours and a billable rate, then watch the progress run against that estimate. Budget warnings arrive before you overshoot rather than after, and you decide how much of it the client gets to see.

Reporting That Makes Sense

  • Weekly timesheets (yours and your team’s)
  • Project profitability analysis
  • Time distribution charts
  • Export to CSV/PDF for accountants
  • Custom date range reports

Invoicing Built In

Invoices are generated from tracked time in EUR, USD or GBP, with custom rates and discounts applied, exported to PDF with your branding and delivered to the client by email.

AI-Powered Offers

Professional proposals come out in seconds, formatted and client-ready, with suggestions based on the scope of the project and estimates drawn from the time you have already tracked on work like it.

Multi-Workspace Support

Different clients get separate workspaces, each with its own billing rates and team permissions, and switching between them is instant. The separation is clean, which is the whole point.

Who This Unsticks

You bill by the hour, or you should be. Every minute counts.

Freelancers & Solo Consultants

So you need proof of work, the kind that shows a client exactly what they are paying for, and invoices that stop being guesses. Along the way you find out where your day actually goes, and the invoices you send look like they came from a business.

Small Agencies (2-15 people)

You need visibility without complexity. You can see what everyone is working on, catch a project going over budget while there is still time to react, generate team timesheets automatically, and bill accurately with one click.

Consultants & Coaches

You sell expertise, not widgets. Session time is tracked automatically, admin stays separated from billable hours, reports come out per client, and the billing stays professional.

The Numbers That Matter

  • 97% of users track time daily (it’s that easy)
  • 23% average increase in billed hours (found time adds up)
  • 4 minutes average weekly to generate invoices
  • Zero lost hours to poor tracking
  • Free to start – no credit card required

A freelancer's desk late on a Friday, hands paging back through a notebook of scribbled half-hours, coffee cup and open laptop in low afternoon light Friday afternoon, and the week has to be reconstructed from whatever survived on paper.

How It Works (The Real Story)

Step 1: Create Your Workspace

Sign up. Name your workspace. Done. Takes 30 seconds.

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.
