Time Tracker for Freelancers
If you bill by the hour, every hour you don't write down is an hour you can't bill for. Tally is a time tracker made for freelancers and consultants who work for several clients at once.
Pick a client, tap start, and Tally keeps the clock running across your iPhone, Mac, Apple Watch and the web. When you stop, the hours land on that client at that client's rate.
One timer per client, at the right rate
Add your clients with their hourly rates. Every session you track is tied to a client, so your weekly totals and what they're worth at your rates are always up to date.
Forgot to start the timer? Add the session afterwards with a start and end time, or split one long session between two clients.
Find the hours you'd otherwise lose
Connect GitHub and your commits and pull requests show up as untracked work, with the hours worked out. Connect your calendar and past client meetings with no session show up on your dashboard. One tap adds either one. (GitHub and calendar are on Pro.)
Keep track of what you promised
If a client contract says 20 hours a week, Tally tracks the minimum, carries short weeks forward as makeup hours, and counts your time off so a vacation isn't a shortfall.
Show your client the hours
Send a private report link: a live page of your hours for that client by day and ticket. Your client needs no account, and you can turn the link off at any time. Reports also export as a PDF.

- Is Tally free for freelancers?
- Yes, there's a free plan with no time limit and no credit card: up to 5 clients with rates and contracts, the last 7 days of history, Jira, Linear and Notion, client report links and the weekly recap email. Paid plans add unlimited clients, full history, GitHub and calendar, and more.
- Can I track time for more than one client?
- Yes. You choose a client each time you start the timer, and each client has its own rate, report and contract. Free covers up to 5 clients; Pro removes the limit.
- What devices does Tally work on?
- iPhone, iPad, Mac (with a menu bar timer), Apple Watch, the web, Android (in closed beta on Google Play) and soon Apple Vision Pro (in App Store review). They all sync to the same account.
- Does Tally sell my data?
- No. Your data is never sold or used for ads. See the privacy policy for exactly what's collected and why.
