OfficeTime 2026: Benefits, Features & Pricing

I used this when working onsite at companies to time my time there... and in my home studio when working on projects to cost the jobs I work on. I recently had a stroke and lost my freelance business while I recovered, but this app came in handy again when I did a stint as a Hall Keeper (a glorified janitor) at my town hall, and I had to time my hours, the iPhone partner app made short work of that! Overall, this application is just very very good at what it does!

Officetime is ideal for being able to look back at how many hours a project took me to complete. As a result, I am able to far more accurately predict the time and cost necessary to complete similar future projects. This is a huge confidence boost in my ability to accurately quote out projects, which in the end, also makes my clients (and employer) happy. It's invaluable information when you have it available. What steps of a project are taking the most time? Can you improve that time a step requires (and ROI) by implementing new software or hardware solutions that would speed that up? Does one client repeatably request change after change while another is typically one review and done? You can figure out all of this by tracking projects, clients, and time through OfficeTime.

All logging apps are awful - I've tried them all. Again and again. So, why on earth have I stuck with this app for over 10 years (count 'em), awaiting a version 2.0 throughout that time? TWO things: how much muscle memory control is available WITHOUT SWITCHING APPS via the global menu - a menu that's practically an ecosystem in its own right. And the way Officetime handles unattended time. Officetime can ask you after a preference settable time to choose one of 3 options: if you want to continue logging to the last timer, not log the time, OR (and this is I think unique) apply the time to a different project. This feature is GOLD. The clunky feel of the UI, the lack of a practically usable unified window of multiple projects for many use cases - these are ghastly tradeoffs (beginning to be addressed in the pre-alpha version I've been able to test). Issues which could probably addressed with a dot level update in the meantime. Before another decade goes by would be good. I will say, that the developer has been very responsive with support including helping with workarounds for self-inflicted wounds (corrupted data, migrations etc), and dot level updates have been ongoing. But back to the UX: most loggers make the assumption that you're happy to spend time switching apps, (or worse still going to a webpage), filling in stuff, and going back out to what you were doing before. Bad call. The best logging app is one that ticks away in the background prompting appropriately and remaining accessible without breaking your workflow. What happens after that can matter, but billings and reports etc are secondary. it's the data capture that's most critical. All time-logging software is awful (unless having to go onto a website to log time, or switch apps unnecessarily is your kind of fun), but because Officetime allows me to mostly stay focussed on my actual work and only interrupts usefully to check that unattended time is logged properly, I put up with such significant trade-offs. So with priority #1 done so right, its the UX post-data-capture and pre-reports which Officetime is well overdue addressing: Depending on your use case, (like the need to have multiple timers paused, as you switch between jobs) you may find yourself with 2343498 open Officetime windows. So I heartily recommend this app, as well as leaning on the developer to ramp up the most critically needed UX improvements.

My experience with OfficeTime has been very good. It provides me with the tools I need to accurately keep track of time I spend on projects for my various clients and projects.

I've used OT for years, it simply runs I click it on and leave it to do the rest, I love how it posts into my calendar and links with my workflow.

I've been using OfficeTime for several years now and have been very pleased with it in every way. Tracking time is clear and simple, and the invoice template system allows me to customize my invoices completely (an important for me feature since I'm a designer and am very particular about the design of my invoices). I've only needed to reach out for support a couple of times and have found the rep to be very helpful and prompt in his responses. All around, this is a winner!

I have used Office Time for a few years now, the app allows me to switch easily between projects, quickly add notes and adjust times, automatically pauses time when I leave and forget to stop the time, and makes invoicing a breeze. You can also create multiple rate categories for different projects or clients. The mobile app allows you to record time when not on your computer and keeps it all synced and organized. I would ( and have ) recommended this to anyone, especially freelancers, who need a solid program for managing their billing and invoicing.

I have used OfficeTime for years now. I really like how easy it is to use and the timely updates and customer service is nice too. I would recommend this to any small business owner who needs to keep track of hours and invoice all in one place. Thank you OfficeTime!

I am very happy with OfficeTime and continue to use it to track hours.
