24 alternatives to Tracksy

I'm a freelance developer who got tired of switching between time-tracking apps, spreadsheets, and invoicing tools. I built Tracksy because I just needed something simple: start timer → log hours → export PDF → send to client. I’ve been using it daily and recently added: responsive UI invoice templates analytics watermark removal feedback system interactive demo Would love feedback from the HN community.

    Hi, I'm a developer, and after years of experimenting with various ideas, I finally shipped and reached a satisfaction point with my product. It’s called Timesible — a time tracking and project management tool designed to help businesses and teams optimize their productivity. Over the years, I’ve built plenty of projects, but most of them never reached the finish line or died out pretty early. This time, however, I wanted to build something truly useful. I decided to create a product that offers a simple, all-in-one solution to track time, manage tasks, and keep everything on budget. The…

    Hey Hacker News! This is my first post here. About 5 months ago, I left my job because I was completely burnt out. After taking some time off, I started freelancing. But I found tracking my time to be a real hassle as I kept forgetting to start or stop the timer and often had no idea what I’d worked on. So, I decided to build Taim as a side project, while also working now on some freelancing gigs. Taim is going to be automated time tracking tool for freelancers and teams. It’s designed to make tracking time effortless and accurate, so you can focus on your work and not worry about the clock.…

    I'm building this because, as a freelancer myself, I find it hard to manage client billing and track hours manually. Most time-tracking apps feel overly complex, so I wanted to create something simpler — designed specifically for solo freelancers rather than teams. I'm actively developing it every day, so give it a try!
