> Time tracking apps with an optional physical desk buzzer

timeBuzzer is a time tracker for freelancers and teams that bill their hours, made by a German company. Timers run in desktop and mobile apps against customers, projects and tasks arranged in custom layers, and everything syncs to a web console for analytics, PDF reports and exports. An optional USB-C desk device, the Buzzer, opens the app on touch, switches activity when rotated and starts or stops the timer when pressed.

## Ways to pay less

- **20% off with annual billing** (Annual discount): The help center lists Pro at $10 per seat a month with monthly billing or $8 with annual billing, which it describes as a 20% discount or 2 months free. Source: https://timebuzzer.com/help/billing/pricing-information/
- **Discounts for students and schools on request** (Education): The pricing FAQ says discounts are offered on request to students and educational institutions. No amount is published. Source: https://timebuzzer.com/pricing/
- **Nonprofit discount on request** (Nonprofit): The pricing FAQ says non-profit organizations can ask for a discount, as can larger teams. No amount is published. Source: https://timebuzzer.com/pricing/

## Key features

- **Desktop and mobile timers:** Apps for Mac, Windows, Linux, iOS and Android run a real-time timer, accept manual entries and notes, and keep working offline, syncing when a connection returns.
- **Hardware Buzzer:** A 125-gram USB-C device with a touch sensor and multi-color LED. Touching it opens the desktop app, rotating scrolls through activities and pressing starts or stops the timer.
- **Custom layers:** The structure time is tracked against is configurable, so customers, projects and tasks can be renamed or rearranged to fit an industry or workflow, with no limit on entries.
- **Web console and analytics:** A browser dashboard shows where time went, lists every entry with search and filters, and lets entries be edited and marked as billed.
- **Reports and exports:** Time entries turn into PDF reports that can carry your own logo, and raw data exports to XLSX or CSV for invoicing and further processing.
- **Team roles and integrations:** Admin, manager and user roles control access, and users see only their own time. Invoicing tools such as sevdesk and bexio connect directly, and Zapier, Make and an open API cover the rest.

## Good for

- Freelancers and agencies that bill clients by the hour
- People who want a physical reminder on the desk to track time
- German-speaking businesses that invoice with sevdesk, Lexware Office or bexio

## Worth knowing

- The pricing page lists a single paid plan and does not describe the free starter version an account falls back to.
- Every active member needs a paid seat whatever their role, and the vendor does not refund software subscriptions.
- The Buzzer is sold separately at $59 per device plus shipping; the apps work without it.
- Timers run in the desktop and mobile apps; the web console is for managing, analyzing and reporting on time.
