Designed specifically for Translators

Tracking time per project while focused on translation quality is tedious

Log time easily: 'Add 3 hours German-English translation for Legal Docs project' via MCP Server.

Manual time tracking wastes valuable work hours and leads to inaccurate billing

Automatic timers with geofencing and Wi-Fi triggers start tracking when you begin working.

Desktop-first time tracking software is left unused when translators are away from the computer

Native iOS and Android apps with one-tap timer, offline mode and Apple Watch support.

Multiple projects with different rates makes tracking complicated

Unlimited projects with custom hourly rates per client. One-tap switching.

Translation work is inherently location-independent

Track from anywhere. Same experience on desktop, tablet, or mobile.

Translators work on multiple projects simultaneously

Tag hours to projects as you clock in. Clear allocation.

Long translation sessions blur time boundaries

Background timer captures exact hours. No guessing.

Without project-level tracking, translators never know which jobs are actually profitable

Every tracked second is filed against a project, task and client with its own hourly rate.
