Same loop. Tighter shape.

Everything a freelancer needs. Nothing they don't.
No CRM bolt-ons, no analytics dashboards. The job is to track honest hours and ship the invoice.
6-second billing
Hours snap to the same 6-second granularity Harvest uses, so existing client expectations port over cleanly.
Per-project rates & budgets
Hourly, fixed-fee, or monthly retainer. Set a project default; override per task or per teammate.
Weekly approvals
Submit Friday. Manager approves with one click — or rejects a row with a comment. Audit trail per row.
Invoice from the timesheet
Pick a client + range. Line items group by project & rate automatically. Add discounts, retainers, free-form lines.
Stripe Checkout, your account
Connect your own Stripe key in settings. Clients pay with one tap. No platform fee — money lands in your account.
Recurring + open-tracking
Monthly retainers regenerate themselves. A 1×1 pixel flips status from Sent → Viewed when the recipient opens the email.
Part of Stack. $20/month.
Timekeeper isn't sold on its own — it comes bundled with every other Stack app for one flat price. Harvest's Solo plan starts at $12; the Team plan jumps to $24/user.
