Clockify

Timer, timesheet and calendar

Start and stop a timer, enter hours by hand, fill in a weekly timesheet or block out time on a calendar that shows Outlook and Google Calendar events.

Auto tracker

Records the time you spend in apps, websites and documents on a timeline that only you can see, and lets you turn those records into time entries.

Reports and rates

Summary, detailed and weekly reports break down tracked time. Billable rates start on Basic, and labor cost and profit reports need Pro.

Kiosk

From Basic, staff can clock in with a PIN on a shared device. QR code sign-in is on Standard and photo capture on Pro. Kiosk-only seats start at $0.79 a month, billed annually.

Invoicing, time off and approvals

Standard adds invoices built from tracked time and expenses, time-off policies and balances, and manager approval and locking of timesheets.

Scheduling and location

Pro adds a scheduling timeline for assignments and capacity, project forecasting, expense recording and optional GPS tracking of visited job sites.

Noko

Fast entry with projects and tags

Time is logged from any page against a project, with tags to categorize the work. A new client's project can be created while logging the entry.

Timers that follow you

A timer started in the browser carries over to the Mac menu bar app or the iPhone app, and timers have keyboard shortcuts.

Billing increments and unbillable time

Timers and entries round up automatically to the increment you set. Unbillable time is tracked separately to show client and project overhead.

Invoicing

Invoices are generated from logged time in multiple currencies, with expenses or credits added. Clients can pay through Stripe or PayPal.

Reports and exports

Reports show who is working on what and how often, can be shared with a client or manager, and download as CSV, Excel or PDF.

Developer integrations and API

Developers can log time from GitHub or Beanstalk commit messages. Projects sync from Basecamp, and a REST API and Zapier connect other tools.
