Projects with milestones and budgets

Set up a project for a customer with a start and due date, a budget in hours, and the people working on it. Break it into milestones and follow-ups, and see progress at a glance.

Hourly, fixed-price or non-billable projects
Overdue milestones stand out
Customers can follow progress in their portal

Timers and timesheets

Start a timer when you begin a task and stop it when you finish, or add time by hand. A weekly timesheet shows everyone’s hours by project and day.

Invoice the work in one click

Turn a project’s unbilled hours into an invoice at its hourly rate, or invoice the agreed fixed price. Billed time is marked so nothing is charged twice.

Questions about projects & time tracking

Can I track time without a project?

Time is logged against projects, so you always know which customer it belongs to. Create a project for internal work if you want to track that too.

Can I invoice part of a project?

Yes. Invoicing a project takes the time that hasn’t been billed yet, so you can bill monthly or at each milestone.

Can different projects have different rates?

Yes. Each project has its own hourly rate, or a fixed price.
