Track work time, keep accurate timesheets, and prepare billable records without a subscription. WorkingHours is a personal time tracker for freelancers, hourly workers, employees, contractors, consultants, and anyone who wants a clear record of their workday.
Start the timer when work begins, pause and resume for breaks, then stop when you are done. Breaks can be subtracted automatically. If you forget to track something, add or edit entries manually and correct the details later. Sessions that cross midnight can be split automatically.
Keep your hours organized and useful.
• Assign time to tasks or projects
• Add tags, notes, and descriptions
• Automatically apply tags to projects or new entries
• Track overtime, hourly rates, earnings, and fixed fees
• Adjust time or earnings with flexible tag rules
• Search and filter entries quickly
Understand where your time goes with charts and visual reports. Switch between duration and revenue to review work patterns, check billable hours, or prepare records for clients and managers.
Export timesheet data in the format you need.
• Export to Excel or CSV
• Choose which columns to include
• Group records by day, week, month, task, or tag
• Create PDF invoices from tracked data with SubTotal
Capture time with less friction using widgets, notifications, NFC tags, and Apple Watch timer controls. Geofencing can detect workplace arrivals and departures, while Pomodoro focus sessions help structure concentrated work. You can also use Apple Shortcuts and view or import appointments from your calendar or Outlook.
Optional sync keeps your work available across supported phone, tablet, laptop, and desktop versions. It uses your own iCloud, OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox, or WebDAV storage, so no WorkingHours account or registration is required.
WorkingHours is free to use, and Pro features can be tested with a 7-day trial. Pro is a one-time purchase linked to your Apple ID that unlocks Pro for iOS/iPadOS; a separate purchase may be required on other platforms.
When I was needing a time-keeping app a few years back, I spent months trying out 2 or 3 dozen apps before picking this as the one suited to my needs. It’s a great, user-friendly app with a nice selection of options. I do garage door installation and service, so I work for literally hundreds of clients and do multiple jobs of various types each day. It took me some time to figure out how it works best, but it handles my data well, and gives me accurate, customizable reports at the end of each pay period.Here are a few suggestions that, in my opinion would make “WorkingHours” even better:1. Add a “change work“ or “change task“ button, which would stop the current work unit and start a new one.2. Add the option of attaching a client to each work unit. Currently, I type the client’s name into the description field. This is working, but it would be much easier if I could select the clients name from an existing list.3. Better yet, have an entire database for clients with phone numbers, emails, addresses, notes, etc. for each oneI make the suggestions with the faith that such a great app has a great team of developers behind it that are looking for ways to improve their app. Hoping that some of these fit into your plans for “WorkingHours”.👍🏽 keep up the great work!Cheers!

Thanks a lot for your nice review and Feedback! I will think about ways to make switching between tasks easier. You can try the "continue work" button that shows up in the context menu when long pressing a work unit.For clients, I would recommend the use of "tags". Currently I dont plan to introduce a separate "client" section or feature
Best Time Tracker!

This is the best time tracker I’ve ever found. I’ve been using it for years and love that it is not overcomplicated, yet still fully functional and effective.I’ve taken deep dives into countless time tracking apps, and I have never been able to stick with one until WorkingHours. All the features and bells and whistles make the other ones a job in itself to manage. I don’t have time for that. I just want to track my time and be done with it.My favorite feature of WorkingHours is that it incorporates the Pomodoro method. I have it set up so that I only work on one task for three Pomodoro’s. And then I switch to another task. It’s great for someone like me with ADHD who vacillates between not being able to start a project and then becoming completely lost in that project to where we lose track of time.
Amazing!

This app is such a time (and money) saver for freelancers and hourly employees responsible for reporting their own time. Especially the native export to Subtotal invoicing feature really makes this a remarkable program. And it's one-time-purchase, which means no subscriptions. I also like that it calculates how much you make per shift for lump-sum positions. I used that feature to know if I actually make minimum wage as an extracurricular coach at a public school, and I can now confidently confirm that I make slightly above minimum, so yay!I own a copy of the pro version of this and Subtotal on my phone, macbook, and work phone. Even buying it 3 times, it's still worth it.

I’m glad the Subtotal export and lump-sum calculations are useful for your freelance and coaching work. Thanks for supporting both apps across your devices!
Love it!

Two weeks into first using this app and I have already purchased it for my iPhone, my personal laptop, and my work laptop. I purchased through Apple Store, Microsoft Store, and Gumroad. I only mention this because my company laptop has disabled Microsoft Store, and I was very glad that I could still purchase and download the app through Gumroad, after checking out the developer’s website and seeing the link. So, thanks to the developer for making it easy to get the app through more secure avenues.I wrote two weeks ago I loved the multi-platform support and flawless syncing - I use iCloud - and I still do.I use this to track my project hours for work. I am in consulting so this is important. But I also use this to track other personal aspects of life and it’s been very interesting to see where my hours go.Also, I like the clean design of the app. Once you use it a bit and get how it all works, it’s a very efficient tool. And the tags allow you to set up various organization schemes.
