Freelance time tracking that works the way you do

Toggl lets you capture every billable minute and turn time into income. Automate time tracking across devices, get detailed reports, and bill clients accurately.

Why freelancers love Toggl

Freelancers often face unique time management issues, like switching between tasks or manually recreating hours at the end of the week. That’s time you can’t afford to lose and revenue that can slip through the cracks.

Toggl streamlines time tracking by making it easy to give you a full view of:

Where your hours go

How much you're earning

How close you are to hitting your project limits

Time tracking that quietly keeps your timesheets in check

Track billable and non-billable hours on any device — web, mobile, desktop, or browser extensions.

With our time tracking app, you can start a timer with a single click or set up automatic time tracking that runs quietly in the background. The timeline view shows you how you spent your workday. If you leave a timer running while away, the app alerts you to review idle periods and decide whether to keep or discard them.

Prefer manual time logging? Add entries by hand or sync them from your calendar.

Billable rates that work your way

Assign different hourly rates to tasks or projects, and mark entries as billable or not. Regardless of your pricing model (e.g., flat rates or hourly fees), our time tracking software applies the correct rate automatically and shows you exactly what you’ve earned.

As you log hours, Toggl keeps a running total of your billable income, giving you clarity with every entry — no spreadsheets or manual hand calculation required.

Stay on budget and on track

Organize your work by clients, projects, and tasks, with clear visibility into where time is going. Set project estimates and get notified as you near the limit.

Toggl lets you monitor progress and adjust expectations before overruns happen, so you get:

- Fewer surprises
-Projects that stay on target
- Client relationships based on trust and transparency

Detailed profitability reports

Need to show a client how you spent your hours? Use the Summary report for a high-level view or the Detailed report to list every entry. All time reports can be exported as PDFs or CSV files for sharing and recordkeeping.

Work smarter with built-in Pomodoro mode

Freelancing often means balancing productivity with burnout. That’s why Toggl Track includes a Pomodoro timer, a proven method for focused work hours and intentional breaks.

Turn on Pomodoro mode to work in short, productive bursts — typically 25 minutes of work followed by a 5-minute break. You'll get automatic reminders when it’s time to step away.

It's a small functionality that makes a big difference when you’re managing your free time and energy.

It's not one of those apps where you need to spend half a day figuring out how to actually use it: sessions can be started as they happen or added later, and once the app has got a feel for your schedule and how you work, it'll even make suggestions about what you want to track next.
