No Screenshots or Activity Scores
Record what was worked on without capturing screens or scoring keyboard and mouse movement.
Project Time, Not Supervision
Organise hours by client, project, and task so they turn into invoices and reports rather than monitoring dashboards.

Start and stop from iOS, Android, Apple Watch, and Wear OS, including offline.
Automation Without Surveillance
Use NFC tags, Wi-Fi networks, and geofences to trigger timers instead of monitoring the desktop.
From Timer to Invoice
Produce PDF invoices with rates and expenses directly from the tracked hours.
Working-Time Rules
Apply daily and weekly limits, breaks, and absence workflows to stay inside working-time rules.

David Sommer
"I've been using it for 1.5 years with great satisfaction. The app allows me to keep track of exactly what I'm spending my time on (I work as a freelancer) and to have a comprehensive and accurate view of my activity, month after month."

"Used this app for over two years now. It's excellent. Easy to use. The layout is clean and user friendly. The developer keeps updating and improving it regularly. I like it so much that I donated 5Euro to buy him a beer in the "donate" option. Try it, you'll love it"

"I've been using the free version for my business for years, and I love it. Before I discovered it, I was a mess. It helps me keep track of tons of projects at once, and I can quickly and easily switch between projects."

"I've been using this app for about 7 years now. I rely on it and it's been reliable and frequently improved. A great app. Highly recommended for time tracking as a contractor, multiple projects at once etc."
Brian Davis

"Works perfectly. The timer feature isn't something I use all of the features on, but it is nice to not have to remember when I arrived at my client. Developer is responsive to feedback!"

Timesheet vs Hubstaff: frequently asked questions
Straight answers based on the current plans and published product documentation.
No. Timesheet records time, projects, notes, and expenses. It does not capture screens, count keystrokes, or score activity levels. If your process depends on that evidence, Timesheet is not a replacement.
Yes, through geofences that start and stop timers when someone arrives at or leaves a site, plus NFC tags for check-in. That is arrival and departure, not continuous location streaming.
Timesheet, on Business plans. It applies daily and weekly limits, break rules, and absence approvals against employment contracts, which is a different problem from productivity monitoring.
Yes. If you need proof-of-work evidence, activity scoring, or built-in payroll and contractor payments for a distributed team, Hubstaff does those and Timesheet deliberately does not.
