FAQ
What is the best time tracker for freelancers?
TickTappy is ideal for freelancers who want simple, fast time tracking. One tap to start, one tap to stop, and a per-client total to copy onto the invoice. Free forever with no account required. There is no CSV export and no invoicing, so if you need either, Harvest may be a better fit.
Can freelancers use TickTappy for client billing?
Yes. TickTappy lets you create colour-coded tags for each client or project and track time with one tap, and the day and week summaries break the total down per tag. There is no CSV export, so you read the per-client figure in the app and put it into your own invoicing tool.
Is TickTappy free for freelancers?
Yes, TickTappy's core features are completely free with no limits. Track unlimited hours, create unlimited tags, read day and week summaries, and on iOS use the Apple Watch app and widgets. There is no CSV or PDF export. Premium adds cloud sync and backup across devices for $9.99/year.
