Clockify

Clockify is the world’s most popular free time tracker, with timesheets, reporting and AI-assisted features for individuals and teams.

Overview

Clockify covers time tracking from a simple start/stop timer through project budgets, timesheets, approvals and invoicing. Kiosk mode supports shared workstations, GPS tracking covers field teams, and reports roll up billable hours across projects and clients. AI-assisted features help categorize entries, suggest project assignments from app usage and summarize timesheet activity. The free tier — unlimited users and tracking — made it the default choice for freelancers and teams that just need dependable time data without cost.

Freelancers track time against projects and clients to understand profitability, while managers approve timesheets and monitor budgets before overruns. Auto-tracking and kiosk modes cover teams that forget to start timers, and reports export for invoicing and payroll. The mobile app handles field work with GPS-stamped entries, and integrations push tracked time into project and accounting tools automatically.

Pricing

Clockify is freemium: the free plan is genuinely unlimited for tracking and reporting, while paid tiers (Basic/Standard/Pro/Enterprise, per user/month) add timesheet approvals, invoicing, GPS, kiosk and admin controls.

Who Is It For

It serves freelancers, agencies and teams that bill by the hour or need visibility into where work time goes — from one-person shops to large operations.

An agency tracks hours per client and project, approves timesheets weekly and watches budgets before overruns happen. Auto-tracking catches unlogged time, GPS entries cover field staff, and reports feed invoicing directly. The free tier carried the agency through its first two years.
