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.

Toggl

Timers and manual entries

Start a timer, log hours afterwards or fill in a week at a time. Idle detection prompts you when the timer is running but the device has gone quiet.

Automated tracking

Toggl can record which apps and sites you used and lay them out on a private timeline. You decide which of them become time entries.

Focus mode and Pomodoro

Timed work sprints with a Pomodoro timer, plus reminders when logged time is under or over a threshold you set.

Billing and profitability

Billable rates by workspace, member or project start on Starter. Premium adds labor costs, fixed fee projects and reports on revenue, cost and margin.

Capacity and project planning

Tasks sit on boards, lists, timelines and calendars with estimates against tracked time. Utilization and workload reports account for time off and working hours.

Toggl AI

Ask in plain language about hours logged or projects over estimate, or have it log time and create tasks. An MCP server and CLI connect Toggl to Claude, Cursor or Codex.
