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."
Noé Thys
Freelancer
"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"
Tommy Thorn
Developer
"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."
Karynne Moses
Designer
"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
Freelancer
"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 TrackingTime: frequently asked questions
Straight answers based on the current plans and published product documentation.
Not for time entries. There is no per-entry or timecard approval step. Absence requests and overtime balances have their own approval flow on the Business plan, and managers can review team hours in reports.
Timesheet. The mobile apps track with no connection and sync afterwards, which matters for site visits and travel.
Yes, on Pro plans. The Chronis assistant creates entries, projects, and reports from a conversation, and the MCP server exposes the same actions to Claude or ChatGPT.
Yes. Its free tier covers unlimited users, and if attendance-style timecards for a whole team at no cost is the requirement, that is hard to beat.
