Freelancers and solopreneurs who are paid hourly are responsible for delivering great products and services and tracking their own time. No manager double-checks, and no payroll department calculates their paychecks. Therefore, finding an efficient way to track time is critical to being productive and billing correctly. Thankfully, there are time management apps that make this process much more manageable.

Productivity Challenge Timer

If you love breaks and thrive on the Pomodoro time management system, the Productivity Challenge Timer is for you! It breaks your work sessions into smaller chunks and reminds you to take a 5-minute break every 20 minutes. It also cues you when the break ends and tracks the total time spent on each project.

Timesheet

The Timesheet app does more than track your time on different projects. You can also break the time into daily, weekly, and monthly totals for each project or client. Even better, you can assign rates to each client or project to quickly and easily see how much money you’ve made.

If you have contractors working for you, you may need to accurately record their time. With the right apps, tracking their time and paying them appropriately—even if they’re off-site—is easy.

Quickbooks

If you already use Quickbooks for your accounting system, their add-ons, like QuickBooks Time and Buddy Punch, integrate seamlessly. Employees and contractors can log in from anywhere to enter their time and submit timesheets. And if you’re not sure their hours are accurate, you can use the GPS feature to locate them in a snap.
