Timer app
Most timer apps stop at the stopwatch. Clockify starts there — then connects your time to timesheets, reports, and billing.
What is Clockify? (11:05)
Time guessing costs more than you think
When guessed work hours add up, they lead to inaccurate invoices, missed overtime, and hours of admin work you never get paid for.
The real problem goes beyond people not tracking time — the tools they use make it too easy to forget, round up, or just give up.
Clockify fixes that: Start Clockify’s Timer when you start working and stop it when you’re done. Everything else (timesheets, reports, billing) happens automatically.
How does the Clockify timer app work?
Tracking time with Clockify is incredibly easy and intuitive:
Create your free account
Sign up in seconds with your email or Google/Microsoft account. No credit card required to create a free account.
Start the timer
Type what you’re working on and hit start. You can categorize by project, client, or task as you go — or after the fact.
See where your time went
When you’re done with work, stop the Timer. Your hours flow directly into timesheets and reports. This lets you run a summary by day, week, client, or project, and export or invoice with 1 click.
Forgot to start the Timer? Add time manually. Clockify works both ways.
