Just curious - how do folks track their time? Software? Spreadsheet? Some other way? I use Google Sheets and then input to Clio later. I am comfortable and (I think) efficient with it but realize I haven’t really thought about this for 10 years 🙂 I know there is software that can automate this with AI or that uses simple button timer/trackers, but I’ve never really enjoyed them. Any cool tips, tricks, techniques, recs?

This has been my go-to for about 10 months:

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/toggl-track-hours-time-log/id1291898086

Why I Use It:

Simple

Free (on iOS) and can be used across my Mac, iPad, iPhone etc. although I use it on my phone as a widget the most

Decent Native Reporting

Customize time-entries with project and client tags in addition to your time entry description

Sync with your calendar to create auto-time entries

Compatible with Siri

Offline mode that syncs when you reconnect WiFi so you can still track and sync offline (usually on a plane or in the middle of no where for me lol)

@rich have you tried any of the new AI tracking tools? I got a demo for PointOne and I enjoyed it. I don't use them because I don't need it right now... but as things scale I might soon

I tried them! I like the team a lot. Still feel iffy about privacy/security (with these tools generally not them specifically) and I like to feel like I’m in control and not worry about whether it captures stuff correctly, but will revisit this over time

Brian Scherer ^{Wed, Aug 7, 2024, 1:11 AM}

Yeah. Give and take. But I like the idea that it overcaptures (or captures time you wouldn’t normally capture)… even if you don’t bill it, it’s nice to show it on an invoice and say “look at this work I did and didn’t bill you for” 😁

I've been using Harvest: https://www.getharvest.com/ I like the daily quotes about time, haha 😄 It's around $13-15/month, use my browser.

I used harvest when I had a bigger fractional practice. It’s not great about accommodating, both hourly and flat but for the core time tracking I found it was helpful.

I use Harvest as well. Works well with Quickbooks (with some mapping fixes).

:thumbsup_all:

Zohobooks, which is my overall accounting / invoicing platform. I really like that I can track my hours on flat rate projects for my own understanding after-the-fact.

I like having a system all-in-one-place because I am lazy. Also helps that, when I have expenses, I can tie them directly to the client to attach to the invoice with the project. So more expensive than Harvest (I paid less than $600 for the year back in March).
