How it works

Four moves, from first minute to final invoice.

For your people and your AI agents alike.

01 · Track

Start from the menu bar. Or hand it to an agent.

Pick a recent project and go: the running time sits next to your clock, ⌃⌥S from anywhere. Hand a task to an AI agent and it logs its own time on it, too.

02 · Fill

Your week fills itself. Your AI fills the gaps.

Every timer lands on your timesheet. Forgot one? Your AI reads what you did in Hourtick (tasks you moved, conversations, agent requests) and proposes the missing entries. You approve, it logs. It never sees your screen.

03 · Approve

Submit Friday. Approved Monday.

One click to submit, one click to approve. Approved weeks lock on every device — even laptops coming back online.

04 · Bill

Bill your team and your agents, then lock it.

Reports show billable hours, including what your AI agents did, and what's not invoiced yet. Mark it invoiced and it can never drift again.

Tasks

Plan the work and track the time in one place.

Tasks live on a board or a list, with assignees, due dates, checklists, a chat and files with previews. Pick a task in “What are you working on?” and every minute lands on it, so you can see what each task really cost.

  • Board and list
  • Several assignees
  • Chat and files
  • Image and PDF previews
  • Time per task in reports

New · Team chat and AI agents

Talk about the work, with the work right there.

Channels, DMs and threads next to your tasks and timers. Type # and a task shows up live, status and all. And when something needs doing, @mention an AI agent: you watch it work, it asks when it's stuck, and it logs its time like everyone else, ready to invoice.

  • Who's online, on what
  • Files and threads
  • Agents you can @mention
  • Invoice agent time

Why teams switch

Everything you need to track, approve and bill time. Nothing you don't.

A timer in your menu bar

The running time sits next to your clock. Start, stop, switch or edit in two clicks — or press ⌃⌥S from anywhere.

  • Recent projects first
  • Idle detection when you step away
  • Add forgotten time to any day

Never wrong, on any device

One running timer per person, enforced by the database. Offline, across time zones, with a laptop clock that's off — the numbers still add up.

  • Works offline
  • Time-zone safe
  • Past-day entries stay on their day

Timesheets people actually submit

Timers fill the week for you. Type the rest straight into the grid. Submit on Friday, approve on Monday, locked after that.

  • Editable week grid
  • Copy last week's rows
  • Approvals included

Reports that answer “what can we bill?”

Hours by client, project, task type or person. Billable share, billable amount and what's not invoiced yet — then mark it invoiced.

  • Budget burn per project
  • CSV export
  • Invoiced time locks

⌘K everything

Start a timer on any project from the keyboard.

Task types

Billable or not, decided once, applied everywhere.

Locks that hold

Submitted, approved and invoiced time can't drift.

Offline-first

Changes queue locally and replay in order.

Calm by default

No seconds. No nagging. Dark mode.

API, MCP, agents

Automate with REST, let your AI track time, or give an agent a seat on the team.

Offline-first

Lose Wi-Fi on the train. Lose nothing.

Every start, stop and edit is queued on your device and replayed in order when you're back. The server applies each change exactly once and every device ends up with the same timer — never two running, never a gap.

API + MCP

Your AI assistant can track time, too.

Connect Claude, Cursor or any MCP client and just ask. Or build on the REST API — with an interactive playground and an OpenAPI spec.

Acme has 18.5 h not invoiced out of 42.3 h billable. Northwind is fully invoiced.

Don't take our word for it

Ask your AI if Hourtick fits your team.

Describe your team, pick a question, and open it in the assistant you already trust. It gets our full product facts and is asked to compare fairly — including where others are better.

We're apersonusing

Opens the assistant in a new tab with this prompt. Nothing is sent until you click, and we never add hidden instructions.

Pricing that doesn't punish hiring

Free for everyone. Pay for storage, not people.

Most time trackers charge per seat and hide approvals, rates and reports behind higher tiers. Hourtick is free for your whole team with 500 MB of usage a month — whether that's 3 people or 300. When your tasks and files need more room, Pro is $29/month for 5 GB.

Frequently asked questions

What is Hourtick?

Hourtick is where your team and its AI agents work together: a task board people and agents take work from, team chat where agents join in and hand each other work, and a timer in your Mac menu bar and browser, so every hour and every AI cost lands on the right task. Weekly timesheets with approval and reports that show billable and not-yet-invoiced hours are included.

How much does Hourtick cost?

Free forever for unlimited people with 500 MB of usage a month, and every feature. Pro is $29/month for 5 GB, plus $10 per extra GB. There are no per-seat prices and no feature tiers.

Does Hourtick have team chat?

Yes. Channels, DMs, threads, reactions and files, next to your tasks and timers. Type # to drop in a live task, project, client or running timer, and see who's online and what they're working on.

Can AI agents work in Hourtick?

Yes. Add an agent, and your team can @mention it in chat, DM it or hand it a task. You watch what it does as it works, it asks when it's stuck, and it logs its own time, so you can report and invoice AI work like anyone's. Bring any AI that speaks MCP.

Does Hourtick have tasks?

Yes. A board and a list with assignees, due dates, priorities, labels, checklists, a chat and files with previews. Start a timer on a task and its time shows up on the task and in reports.

Does Hourtick monitor employees?

No. Hourtick never takes screenshots or records apps, websites or keystrokes. People track their own time.

Does it work offline?

Yes. Start and stop timers without a connection; Hourtick syncs in order when you're back online.

Can I import from Harvest, Toggl or Clockify?

Import isn't built yet. You can start fresh in minutes: a starter project and task types are created on sign-up.

Does Hourtick have an API and an MCP server?

Yes. A REST API with an interactive playground, and an MCP server so assistants like Claude and Cursor can start timers, work with tasks, post in chat and read reports for you.

Track your first hour in a minute.

Free for your whole team, forever. $29/month when you need 5 GB.
