Time Tracker00 Introduction
Harvest has long been a favorite for freelancers because it links time logs to client payment forms. However, managing multiple client accounts on Harvest's free tier is impossible. For solo developers, designers, and consultants who need a simple time logger that exports invoices without caps, Time Tracker Pro offers a premium local-first alternative.
01 Harvest Overview
Harvest utilizes a simple manual toolbar timer. It excels at turning logged hours into invoices and processing Stripe payments, but its tracking remains manual and limits you to 2 projects on the free tier.
