Designed specifically for Event Planners

Tracking hours across planning, meetings, and event day is complex

Tag time by activity type. Invoices show breakdown of planning vs. execution.

Multiple events in different phases make time tracking chaotic

Organize by event and phase: discovery, planning, coordination, event day. Track all at once.

Clients want detailed invoices showing exactly where time went

PDF invoices with date, time, and activity descriptions for full transparency.

Expenses and hours need to be combined for accurate invoicing

Track expenses alongside hours. Generate invoices with labor and expenses in one document.

Managing deposits and final payments is error-prone

Track payment status. Mark invoices as partially paid or fully paid.

Corporate events generate the highest margins at 35-50% gross profit, while 81% of event planners consider robust data reporting essential

What Timesheet Handles

Time tracking, reports, invoices, exports, automation, HR rules, and AI logging in one system.

Simplified Time Tracking

Start the timer at the venue walkthrough and keep it running through load-in, from your phone, because an event day never happens at a desk.

  • One-tap time tracking
  • WLAN & Geofencing automation
  • Scheduled break reminders
  • NFC tag support

Project & Task Management

One project per event. Venue search, supplier briefing, technical, the run sheet and the day itself are tracked as separate tasks.

  • Unlimited projects
  • Task categorization
  • Team collaboration
  • Calendar integration

Accurate Feedback & Analytics

Hours per event and per task, so you find out that supplier coordination alone took two days before you price the next wedding.

  • Daily, weekly, monthly reports
  • Income tracking
  • Trend identification
  • Export to Excel & CSV

Professional Invoice Generation

Invoice the hours the event really took, with planning and on-site delivery split out, and travel and expenses on the same PDF.

  • Generate invoices from time entries
  • Add expenses and notes
  • Track payment status
  • PDF export

Comprehensive Data Export

Export a single event as a PDF for the client file, or the whole season as CSV when your accountant asks for the year.

  • Excel export
  • CSV export
  • PDF reports
  • API access
Timesheet export screen with field selection and output format options

Automatic Time Tracking

An NFC tag in the production office or a geofence at the venue starts the timer, so a fourteen-hour show day records itself.

  • Location-based tracking
  • WLAN detection
  • Background timer operation
  • Persistent quick actions

HR-Ready Time Tracking

Rest periods, overtime and leave for the crew stay visible during event week, early enough to change the rota rather than explain it afterwards.

  • Contracts & employment models
  • Live working-time limits
  • Leave & overtime balances
  • Absence requests & calendar

AI-First Time Tracking

Between supplier calls, tell ChatGPT: "Add 3 hours planning for the Schmidt wedding", and it books against that event.

  • Log time in one message
  • Control the timer from chat
  • Instant project answers
  • Reminders, daily & weekly

Loved by Thousands Worldwide

See what our users have to say about Timesheet.

"2024: This app has made some amazing steps over the years. Even while I don't use it much anymore, it's a great project! 2018: More and more often it doesn't show time working until stopped (timer stays at 00:00)"

Mind Dilution

"Makes my life easier. Good price per month, easy to use, and reliable"

Trisana

"Very good app i can track my hours now i now i know that my company owe me hours"

MR Charlie

"Great app for what it does. Super convenient and great for working several projects. Like what others have said, my only gripe is the subscription model for the pro versiom. A bit too much as it's annual, would have preferred a one time $20 cost or so."

Justin Halonen

"Thank you for this great app! I appreciate how easy and fast it is to start the timer, the nightly backup to a spreadsheet, the reporting, and the customizable settings. I don't use the Pro version, just the free."

Jenese B

"It is easy to maintain the working hours. The detail deep is good and not to deep, because it's interesting that you had worked 8h 18min and nobody is interested in how many seconds you worked. I'm using it for over 8 years and I'm still happy with it."
