An Invoice That Shows the Research Too

Designed specifically for Writers
Writing projects have many phases, hard to invoice accurately
Tag time entries by phase (research, drafting, editing) and include in invoices.
Research time is often underestimated in flat rates
Track research, writing, and editing separately. Know your real time investment.
Multiple clients with different rates makes invoicing complicated
Unlimited projects with custom hourly rates per client. Track each project separately.
Per-piece rates don't reflect actual time spent
Track hours per piece. Calculate your true hourly rate.
Long writing projects blur time boundaries
Timer runs in background during sessions. Accurate totals without guessing.
“Only 50-75% of a freelance writer's working time is actually billable, with the rest lost to pitching, admin, and client communication”
What Timesheet Handles
Time tracking, reports, invoices, exports, automation, HR rules, and AI logging in one system.
Simplified Time Tracking
Start when the document opens and leave it running through the draft. A morning of writing becomes a record rather than a guess at midnight.
- One-tap time tracking
- WLAN & Geofencing automation
- Scheduled break reminders
- NFC tag support
Project & Task Management
A project per publication or client, with tasks for research, interviews, the draft and each round of notes from the editor.
- Unlimited projects
- Task categorization
- Team collaboration
- Calendar integration
Accurate Feedback & Analytics
See how much of the month went to paid commissions and how much to pitches, research and interviews that never reach an invoice.
- Daily, weekly, monthly reports
- Income tracking
- Trend identification
- Export to Excel & CSV

Automatic Time Tracking
Wi-Fi rules start tracking when you connect at your desk, because the deep writing hours are exactly the ones you forget to enter.

- Persistent quick actions
HR-Ready Time Tracking
Set a weekly hour target and see whether the freelance week balanced, instead of working that out in January when the numbers are fixed.
