Time tracking built around the monthly invoice

The monthly loop
From timer to payment, with nothing in between
No project boards, no team permissions. One loop for one person who bills by the hour.
- Through the month
Log hours against a client
Start a timer or add an entry after the fact. Every entry belongs to a client and carries the rate you set for them.
- Month end
The invoice is already drafted
Hourwise rolls the month's entries into line items by client, with hours, rate, and total laid out in a clean ledger.
- Before you send
Review, adjust, send
Change a description, trim an entry, add a note. When it reads right, send it. No spreadsheet, no copied notes.
- After it goes out
Watch it through to paid
Every invoice carries a status: draft, sent, paid, or overdue. You see at a glance what is still owed.

Questions freelancers ask
Before you start
Who is Hourwise for?+
Solo freelancers and independent contractors who bill by the hour or on retainer: designers, developers, writers, and consultants.
How is it different from team time trackers?+
It skips project-management layers. Hourwise stays on one loop for one person: log hours by client, draft the monthly invoice, send it, and see when it is paid.
What does the monthly invoice contain?+
Your tracked entries grouped into line items by client, with hours, rate, and total. You can edit any line before sending.
Can I see which invoices are unpaid?+
Yes. The invoices list shows each invoice as draft, sent, paid, or overdue, with its due date.
Do I need a team account?+
No. Hourwise is built for one person working with several clients.
One plan. One price.
