One quiet timer, a total when you ask for one, and something that offers to fill in the hours you forgot — without ever watching your keyboard, your screen or your calendar.
So they take screenshots, watch idle time, score your day, and produce a utilisation percentage for a manager who doesn't exist. You are the manager. You already know whether you worked.
What you actually don't know is where the week went — which client ate Tuesday, how many hours you gave away, and what to put on an invoice for work you did four days ago and never logged.
Surveillance is easy to build. Remembering for you is the hard part, and it's the only part that helps.
On a task, a ticket, a call or a drive. One at a time, on purpose — you weren't doing two things.
StandardClose something untracked and it offers the gap since your last real event — from your own trail in here, nothing else.
StandardA rate per client, a flat fee, a salary, or not billed at all — and unpaid work reads invested, never $0.00.
StandardBy client, by project, billed and not — and straight into an invoice or a spreadsheet somebody's expecting.
StandardA salaried client, an hourly one, a fixed fee and something of your own can all sit in the same month and the total still makes sense.
And the unbilled column is the one that changes how you price next year.
Everyone does, and it's never a discipline problem — it's that a tracker punishes you for forgetting. You miss a day, the week is now wrong, the wrongness makes it pointless, and you quietly stop opening it.
So this one assumes you'll forget. Forgetting is the normal case and the design is built around it — it offers the gap, it takes a number you type from memory without complaint, and it never once tells you your week is incomplete.
No screenshots, no idle detection, no keyboard, no window titles, no calendar reading. The only trail it uses is what you did in here.
No utilisation, no billable percentage, no target, no streak for logging every day. A thin week is a fact.
Hide Time entirely and the rest of the app carries on. Some months you don't want to know, and that's allowed.
It doesn't — it offers a guess from the gap between what you just closed and your last real event in the app, and you accept it, change it, or ignore it. Nothing is ever logged without you saying yes.
Yes, and most entries are exactly that. Typed time and timed time are the same record — nothing is marked estimated or second-class.
To find out what your hourly actually is, and which of four workstreams is eating the week. A salaried project shows hours with no rate anywhere near them.
No, deliberately. Starting one stops the other and says so. You weren't doing two things, and a tool that pretends otherwise produces a month that doesn't add up.
Only what you put on an invoice. There's no client-facing timesheet and nothing is shared automatically — the record is yours.
Every entry, any month, as a spreadsheet in whatever shape you build — and a report can rebuild itself monthly and come find you with the file already made.
Miss a day, guess a number, forget Thursday entirely — and see whether the total still tells you something. That's the week that decides it, not a perfect one.
