Track Your Time, Grow Your Business: A Free Time Tracker for Freelancers and Agencies
When you are running your own business, whether as a freelancer or a small agency, your time is your most valuable asset.
Managing projects, communicating with clients, doing the actual work... it all adds up fast. If you are not tracking how you spend your time, it is almost impossible to know whether you are staying profitable or just staying busy.
Time tracking is not about squeezing every second. It is about understanding where your energy goes, getting better at estimating projects, and making sure you are running a healthy business.
The Problem with Most Time Tracking Tools
Most time tracking apps start simple, but before you know it, you are knee-deep in features you do not need:
- Complex dashboards, dozens of integrations, permissions, and user roles.
- Mandatory cloud accounts.
- Subscriptions piling up, even if you just wanted a simple way to log your work.
There is also the privacy issue: where exactly is your data stored? Who has access to it?
As a solo freelancer or a small team, you should not have to compromise between simplicity, affordability, and control over your own information.

Why I Built It (The Story Behind It)
Before going solo, I worked in a web agency.
Time tracking was chaotic, to say the least. A coworker eventually built his own mini app to track his hours for different projects because nothing out there really fit the bill.
Fast forward a few years. Now that I freelance, I faced the same old problem. I was logging my hours manually in spreadsheets. It was not ideal for day-to-day operations. I needed something lightweight that would not slow me down, would not require monthly payments, and would not collect my data.
So, I decided to create my own time tracker, inspired by that coworker’s simple solution but with a few modern upgrades.
After showing it to a few friends (and hearing "you should put this online"), here we are.
