Tyme
Time tracking for Mac, iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch
What is Tyme?
Tyme is a time tracker for Apple devices, used by freelancers and by teams. Timers run against projects and tasks that carry hourly rates, budgets and deadlines, and the app also records expenses, mileage and breaks. Statistics show workload and overtime, and timesheets export as PDF, CSV or JSON. Data syncs between a person's devices through iCloud and between team members through Tyme's team server.
Tyme is a paid product with a free trial, starting at $59.99 per user / year ($6.99 billed monthly), US App Store. See every plan
Good for
- Freelancers who work on a Mac, iPhone and Apple Watch
- Small teams that all use Apple devices
- German-speaking businesses that invoice with Lexware Office or sevdesk
Worth knowing
- Tyme runs on Mac, iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch only; a web login is labelled beta and no Windows or Android app is listed.
- There is no free plan: after the 14-day trial or a canceled subscription the app becomes read-only.
- The website shows prices in the visitor's local currency; the dollar figures here are in-app purchase prices from the US App Store.
- Invoices are not made in Tyme itself but through plugins for tools such as GrandTotal, Lexware Office and FreshBooks.
Key features
- Timers and tracking modes
- Timers start and stop from any app with global shortcuts, and several can run at once. Entries are kept either with start and end times or as one duration per task and day.
- Location-based tracking
- Up to 20 work locations can be set as geofences. A timer starts when you arrive and stops when you leave, with a minimum stay and a reverse mode.
- Projects, budgets and costs
- Projects and tasks carry hourly rates, planned time, budgets, due dates and a billable flag. Expenses, fixed costs, flat rates and mileage are tracked alongside time.
- Timesheets and statistics
- Customizable PDF timesheets and CSV or JSON exports cover working hours and breaks. Statistics show hours per day, workload, overtime and non-billable time.
- Teams
- Team admins create users, assign projects and tasks to each member, plan budgets and rates, and see the team's booked hours and remaining budget live.
- Automation and API
- More than 20 Apple Shortcuts actions, AppleScript, a developer API with webhooks, Zapier and n8n automate Tyme. Plugins send hours to invoicing tools.
