OfficeTime overview

OfficeTime is time and expense tracking that is easy, elegant and focused. Other time keepers are clumsy or oversimplified. OfficeTime balances features and ease of use, allowing you to easily track exactly what you do each day.

Features
  • Easy to use: The best time tracker just feels right. And if it feels right, you'll use it. Which means more hours captured!
  • Impressive invoicing: Easily justify your hours to clients.
  • Sync with OfficeTime on your iPhone or iPad (sold separately) Your time and expenses tracked on the go and synced back to your desk.
  • Increase Billable Hours: Increase your billables just by tracking your time more accurately. We guarantee it.
  • Easy Reports: Your life in a pie chart. Where did your time go last week? Which projects are running hot?
  • iCal Sync: You're busy so OfficeTime automatically records your meetings and shows your whole day in iCal.
  • Freelancers: Track valuable billable hours or check how you stack against your fixed cost bid. Designed to be flexible, like you.
  • Employees: Time tracking doesn't have to suck. Easily log and report hours worked. Find out where the heck your day goes. Tracking means increased productivity.
  • Teams: Who's slacking? Which group project is close to budget? Cross-team reports have the answer.
  • No monthly fee: Unlike Web based time trackers, there's no subscription fee.
  • Guaranteed to pay for itself: We'll give you 100% back if OfficeTime doesn't pay for itself in increased productivity recording.

What users say about OfficeTime

By artbyjulie-1 on Jul 20 2021 for v.1.9.9

Value: 5.0

It is easy to use and does everything a sole proprietor graphic designer like myself wants and needs. And it does all that without a monthly subscription fee!

Ease of use: 5.0

I am a freelance graphic designer and I have been using OfficeTime for many years to track my time on freelance projects. I have found the app easy to use (even though I have a very low threshold for technical hurdles) and I love the fact that if a client calls me to ask how much time I’ve put into any given project I can answer their question right then with the click of a button.

Features: 5.0

I cannot say enough positive things about how useful this desktop app is for me, a freelancer. I click to start the timer when I start to work, click to stop. If I get on a call and get pulled off task it asks me if I want to bill the time or subtract it because it knows I’m not on the computer. It keeps track of my invoice numbers and if I accidentally duplicate a number it alerts me. When it is time to send an invoice I can pull up the hours on that invoice and sort the time by the notes, which allows me to specify which hours are being billed to which project. In the “Report” function it allows me to mark the time as billed, then archive the invoice information. It allows you to set your minimum time and whether you want to round up or down.

Reliability: 5.0

If you have never used a time tracking app you should definitely give it a try, as it has been a much bigger help than I ever imagined. If you are on the fence about which one to buy I would encourage you to give OfficeTime a go. It is very easy to use and well supported by the developer.

Customer support: 5.0

Recently I had to update my MacBook OS and I freaked out when I saw the app icon dimmed because it was not compatible with the new OS. I had no idea what to do. I emailed the developer who answered back very quickly with questions about what I had going on. Once I laid it out he gave me simple instructions on how to update the desktop app and everything is now back in order with very little intervention on my end. I simply followed the link he sent me in the email. My only criticism is that the website should do a better job of explaining what happens during an OS update and what you need to do to fix it. But since the developer was so responsive it wasn’t a big issue.

I've been using this since 2015 and at some point also subscribed to the freelance version. The Calendar sync feature gives a great visual about how I spent my time, and it never, ever failed. Some stats/ report pages don't show the hours spent on a project but only percent, hours would be nice to always have. Sync between mac and iphone sometimes takes a while but it is always resolvable. I'm glad this exists, I'd go nuts about tracking this without the ability to modify. I also have Qbserve running all the time so if I forget to start a new time window I can always enter it manually based on Qbserve automatic tracking. The developer is extremely responsive. thanks!

I have the desktop software "OfficeTime" which syncs up well with this app. I am a musician and work a lot from home and need to track time and project sessions accurately and keep great records for my clients. This is a very customizable app and software that works well for my needs. I like that you can download the program to your computer and not rely on the cloud services most other companies use. I would highly recommend this for any small business that needs to track time and projects.

OfficeTime has been my faithful daily companion since 2007. In the meantime a lot of improvements have been realized by the engaged developers. Nevertheless the app remained user-friendly, clear and useful for the daily business with different customers. It is not only a helpful time tracker but also a precious instrument to overview work done and to prepare billings. The apps on the Mac and iPhone work together smoothly and the delicate data are well protected by the automatic back-ups and WLAN-synchronizations. I am looking forward to version 2 offering the option of a cloud-synchronization with an outstanding and leading end-to-end-encryption. Well done and keep it up!

Love, love, love this little program. I spent hours and hours searching the Internet for a useable program to keep track of my time. Nothing I tried compared to the simplicity of use, and pertinent information provided that OfficeTime did. There's no time or fiddling involved. You just click and go. It lets you know when your computer has been inactive for a while and asks if you want to add the "inactive" time to your total. Everything you need is right there. You can track your costs just as easily. OfficeTime has everything you need and isn't cluttered by things you don't. Great little program.
