Features
More than a timer — a profit dashboard
Log hours, see profit/hour, invoice from your time log. Everything in one place.
Log hours per project
Start a timer or add hours manually for any project. Add a note to each entry — what you worked on, which deliverable it was for.
Profit per hour — automatically
Hustlay calculates your real profit-per-hour for each project: total revenue minus expenses, divided by hours logged. No spreadsheet required.
Compare clients by profitability
Client A pays $5,000/mo. Client B pays $3,000/mo. But which one is more profitable per hour? The dashboard shows you — instantly.
Time log per project
Every project has a Time Log tab. Filter by date range, see total hours, and export to CSV for invoicing or your own records.
Invoice from logged hours
Turn your time log into a line-item invoice with one click. Send it by email as a PDF directly from Hustlay — no copy-paste into another tool.
Budgets with hour targets
Set a budget per project — either an expense cap or an income target. You'll get alerts at 80% and 100% so you never undercharge.
The number nobody tracks
Hours worked ≠ money earned
You know your hourly rate. But do you know your actual profit-per-hour after tools, subscriptions, and shared expenses?
Client A
$80/hr billed
$52/hr after tools
Client B
$60/hr billed
$58/hr after tools
Client C
$100/hr billed
$31/hr after tools
Client C pays the most per hour — but costs the most in shared tools. Hustlay shows this automatically.
How we compare
Harvest tracks hours. We track profit.
FAQ
Common questions about freelance time tracking
Is Hustlay a free freelance time tracker?
The Free plan is unlimited on expense/income tracking with no credit card required, but time tracking itself is a Max-tier feature ($24.99/mo, or $17.99/mo billed yearly) — it unlocks the stopwatch, time log, and profit-per-hour across up to 20 projects. Ultra removes the project cap entirely.
What makes Hustlay different from other freelance time trackers?
Most time trackers show you hours — Hustlay shows you profit. It combines your time log with your income and expenses to tell you your real profit-per-hour. You'll know in seconds which client is worth your time.
Can I track time across multiple freelance clients?
Yes. Each client or project gets its own time log. Switch between them from the project picker. Filter by date range to see weekly, monthly, or quarterly hours.
Does Hustlay have a timer I can run while working?
Yes. You can start and stop a timer from the time log screen, or add time entries manually after the fact — whichever fits your workflow.
Can I generate invoices from my time log?
Yes, on Max and above (that's also where time tracking itself lives). Select entries from your time log, add them as line items to an invoice, and send it by email as a PDF — directly from Hustlay.
Is there a desktop or mobile freelance time tracker app?
Hustlay is a mobile-first web app — it works on desktop and mobile browsers. A native iOS/Android app is on the roadmap after the web app ships.
