How to use the time tracker and timesheet
Track time honestly, bill it accurately
This tool is a plain time tracker for freelancers, consultants and small teams. Start a timer when you begin work, stop it when you finish, and your hours land in a weekly timesheet with earnings worked out from your hourly rates. It all runs in your browser, so your clients, rates and notes stay on your device.
Quick start
- Add clients and projects at the bottom of the page. Give each project an hourly rate, or leave it at zero for unpaid internal work.
- Pick a project, type what you are doing and press Start. The clock keeps counting even if you close the tab, because it stores the start time rather than a counter. Press Stop to save the entry.
- Forgot to start a timer? Use Add time manually with a date and a duration such as 1.5, 1:30, 90m or 2h.
- Review the week. The grid shows each project by day with row and column totals. Click any cell to type a new total, or clear it. Move between weeks with the arrows.
Billable and non-billable
Every entry has a Billable tick. Untick it for meetings you will not charge for or for admin. Earnings include only billable entries multiplied by their project's rate, and the totals show billable hours next to all hours so you can see how much of your week is paid.
Reports for clients and for yourself
Choose whether the report covers the shown week, that whole month or all time, then export:
- PDF timesheet with a table of entries and totals, ready to attach to an invoice.
- CSV for a spreadsheet or accounting tool. Hours are decimals such as 1.5, which are easy to sum.
- Backup JSON to keep everything, including running timers, and restore it on another device.
Good habits
Log time as you go rather than at the end of the week, when memory is poor. Write notes a client would understand, such as Checkout page fixes, not work. Round consistently, either to the minute or to a quarter hour, and say which on your invoice. Review the Billable figure each Friday to see whether you are pricing your time correctly.
When you need more
A browser timesheet suits one person. If your team needs shared projects, approvals, invoicing and reports, DEV3 can build a workspace around your process.
Frequently asked questions
Does the timer keep running when I close the tab?
Yes. The timer stores the moment it started, not a counter, so when you reopen the page it shows the true elapsed time. If it ran past midnight, stopping it splits the time across the days it covered.
Where is my data stored?
Only in your browser on this device. Nothing is uploaded and there is no account. Clearing site data removes it, so use the JSON backup, and restore it on another device to move your timesheet.
How do I enter time in the weekly grid?
Click a cell and type a duration such as 1.5, 1:30, 90m or 2h, then press Enter. A plain number means hours. Empty or 0 clears the cell.
How are earnings calculated?
For each billable entry the hours are multiplied by the hourly rate of its project, then totalled. Mark an entry as not billable to leave it out of earnings. Projects with a rate of zero earn nothing.
Can I run timers for several projects at once?
Yes, one timer per project. Each is saved as its own entry when you stop it. Stop one before starting another if you only work on one thing at a time.
What does the PDF contain?
A landscape table of every entry in the period you choose (the shown week, that month or all time) with date, client, project, note, hours, rate and amount, followed by totals for time, billable time and earnings.
