Hourline features

One-click timer

Start, stop and switch tasks from the web app, desktop app or a global keyboard shortcut.

Idle detection

If you step away, Hourline asks whether to keep, discard or reassign the idle time.

Weekly timesheet

Edit a whole week in a grid, copy last week's rows, and bulk-change projects or tags.

Calendar suggestions

Meetings from Google or Outlook calendars appear as suggested entries you can accept.

Billable flags

Mark entries billable or non-billable; non-billable time still counts toward budgets.

Hourly, fixed-fee and retainer

Each project type tracks progress and profitability in the way it is billed.

Budget alerts

Project owners are emailed at 50%, 80% and 100% of a budget in hours or money.

Rates per person or task

Senior and junior rates, or design and development rates, on the same project.

Timesheet approvals

Managers approve a week before it can be invoiced. Approved time is locked.

Your logo, colours, payment details and terms on every invoice.

Recurring invoices

Retainers and fixed monthly fees invoice themselves on the date you choose.

Payment reminders

Polite reminders before and after the due date, with the schedule you set.
