Time Tracking
Track More Than Time, Track Profitability
If you’re estimating hours, you might be undercharging without even realizing it.
Time Tracking You’ll Actually Use
Time tracking can be annoying—we get it. That’s why we built a timer right into your projects. One click to start, and you’re back to designing.
- Select the project and task you’re working on
- No jumping between tools or manually tracking
- Get reliable records of every minute worked—automatically
Set It Once, Bill Accurately Every Time
Assign custom hourly rates for different services or team members upfront
so every tracked hour is accurate from the start.
- Apply custom rates by task or service type
- Set different rates for each team member
- Stop adjusting time entries manually, everything’s calculated for you
What’s made the biggest difference for our business is the time tracking. It’s helped us understand where our hours really go and made our pricing more accurate.

and make smarter, more profitable decisions.
- Mark entries as billable or non-billable
- See time breakdowns by task, client, or project
- Get a clearer picture of what’s profitable (and what’s not)
Add Tracked Time to Invoices in One Click

- Auto-fill invoices with tracked hours
- Custom rates are automatically applied
- Say goodbye to retyping and billing mistakes
Winning time is definitely a win for me. Tracking hours right in the platform helps me stay on top of every task without extra tools. My clients are also very impressed with how easy it is to communicate through the software and to just click and buy the products from their design.
