Free time tracking app

A free time tracker for iPhone and Android

WorkHours is free to download on iPhone, iPad and Android, and the free plan is a complete time tracker with no time limit: one-tap timers, a break timer, tags, weekly and monthly reports with earnings and overtime, a shift history you can edit, and clock-out reminders. There are no ads and you can start without an account. Pro, at $3.99 a month with a 7-day free trial, adds exports, invoices, custom date ranges and multiple jobs.

What the free plan includes

A real timer, free

Start and stop with one tap, tag what you are working on, and pause for breaks. Home shows today’s and this month’s hours and earnings.

Forgot to start? Add Entry records a session afterwards, and History lets you correct any start or end time.

Reports that answer “how much did I work?”

Reports shows this week, last week, this month or last month: hours per day with work, breaks and overtime, total hours, daily average and earnings.

Task breakdown splits the time by tag, so you see where the hours went as well as how many there were.

Controls on the lock screen

A running session appears on the iPhone lock screen as a Live Activity and in the Android notification. Pause, resume or clock out without unlocking the app, and get a reminder to clock out.

When Pro is worth it

  1. You send hours to someone else: Pro exports PDF timesheets and CSV files that open in Excel or Google Sheets.
  2. You bill clients: Pro downloads and issues numbered PDF invoices with a timesheet appendix.
  3. You work more than one job: Pro adds jobs with their own rates and runs two timers at once.
  4. Your pay period is unusual: Pro reports any custom date range.
  5. If none of these apply, the free plan covers you, with no time limit.
