9 years and counting
I have been using OfficeTime since 2009 It s worked very well for me as a freelancer who has multiple clients and charges both retainer and hourly rates and I have recommended it often I have never reviewed the program before but a recent event made me realize just how much I depend on it I was in a hurry and rather than wait for OfficeTime to shut down properly I forced it to close The next time I launched the software my computer asked ME where the file was I am not tech-savvy shouldn t my computer know where the file is Why is it asking me It s okay I thought OfficeTime allows for various backup options and I had it set for automatic backups Surely I could just pull that up Wrong I couldn t find those either Now I m starting to panic Nine years worth of billings and invoices not to mention current billable hours seemed to have vanished I sent OfficeTime an email Keep in mind that since I d bought the software 9 years earlier I d had little reason to contact the company Can you imagine going back to the store 9 years later to question why your blender has stopped running Stephen got back to me in 12 minutes We went back and forth multiple times as he suggested different things to try Nothing worked and by now I was nearly in tears even calling data retrieval specialists all over town But Stephen never gave up on me Despite the fact that I d had the software for 9 years Despite the fact that this wasn t an OfficeTime issue rather it was an issue with my computer I sent screen shots logs and finally whole files and then 24 hours later big time difference between us I got the email from Stephen saying he figured out what had happened he could see my data even though I could not and he walked me through how to bring it back up In summary OfficeTime is an easy to use program that allows users to track time and activity for numerous clients projects etc There are many options to personalize including rounding time up or down in increments as low as 5 minutes It allows you to multitask and track more than one client at a time You can track expenses choose from a menu of options for generating reports make notes create invoices and sync with online calendars and mobile devices A mobile app is available too All of these features have allowed me to focus on my work rather than my timekeeping you simply click to start and click to stop or pause But nothing NOTHING has meant more to me than knowing that OfficeTime is there when I need it--even 9 years later THAT S customer service

I ve used OfficeTime for years and it s simply the best
I ve used OfficeTime for years after exhausting pretty much every timing app there is OfficeTime is an app that feels like it s been written just for me It has everything I m looking for plus a lot more And the developer is a great guy always ready to provide a fix if there is a rare problem Plus if you suggest a feature he listens and digests if it will be beneficial to all or not the one thing I ve never felt is fobbed off Why can t all software be this good

Best time tracker for freelancers
As a freelance writer I ve been using OfficeTime for years I compared it to the other products available for freelancers and find it perfect for my needs Because I use accounting software I don t need my time tracker to prepare invoices But I do need it to track my time not only by billable hours and minutes but by project and category I LOVE the most recent version which is still in Beta that also allows me to track by clients I only ever experience one issue right after downloading the Beta version and within an hour of emailing the company received a response from the developer that provided me with an immediate fix My error I m glad to admit Can t say enough good things about OfficeTime and its customer service

As a freelance book designer I have
As a freelance book designer I have used OfficeTime since it s early days and I just bought it for my new Mac running Mojave It is simple to use comprehensive enough for my record-keeping and it can also generate invoices if you wish It is just the right amount of help without being too invasive on my system like so many of them are right now A program that is light but powerful Just right Thank you

Excellent app excellent developer support
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 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 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 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 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

Been using OfficeTime and LOVE it
I ve been using OfficeTime for several years I love it and use it all day every day to keep track of time spent on jobs for billing The company is always improving the software making my job easier with every upgrade I ve tried other timekeepers and this one has the features I want without becoming cumbersome to use The program is quick and intuitive and affordable The company is great offering very responsive support which I have almost never needed because the program works so well

Best time-tracker for freelancers as well as teams
I am a freelance writer and although I don t have a team of employees coworkers this is absolutely the BEST time tracking software I ve tried I can create an unlimited number of clients and projects as well as categories The categories are essential to me as they allow me to assign different hourly rates to different clients and projects Being able to color-code project is also helpful I love the fact that I can use it on my desktop and when traveling can summon it on my iPhone iPad and laptop The Cloud syncing works very well I also have the option to use it locally without any Cloud syncing which is a terrific option in this world of cyber horror stories I ve been using OfficeTime for more than 10 years now the owner was responsive anytime I experienced a bug fixed it immediately and works continuously to tweak to add and improve features I purchased the Sunshine subscription and it s a terrific value
