Clockify is a multipurpose app that can be used by various virtual teams and firms. However, it's also useful for consultants and freelancers that need software for accurate time keeping and calculating billable hours.
Let's take a deeper look at what Clockify excels at.
Track billable and non-billable time
You can track time using an online timer or you can manually enter your work hours into Clockify's timesheet. Then, use it to maximize your revenue and bill clients for every work minute by making sure you log every call, e-mail, and meeting.

Improve profitability
Use Clockify to:
- Break down all tracked time by client and project
- See how much of your time is billable
- How much you've earned
