Every minute tracked. Every hour paid.

Time tracking for freelancers and small teams who sell their time. One tap starts the timer, HORAKA rounds by your rules and turns it into a timesheet your client understands without a single follow-up question.

  • 14 days of Premium free, no card
  • Servers in Germany, no tracking
  • Then Free or from €4.90 a month
Animation: a favourite starts the timer, after stopping the entry lands in the list and is rounded to 15 minutes, the daily total goes up and the timesheet is sent to the client as a PDF.

If you sell your time, you lose it writing it down.

As a freelancer or small team you constantly jump between clients and projects: a call here, a quick fix there, the quote for tomorrow in between. Documenting every one of those switches properly is a job in itself. And that is exactly where hours get lost, almost always for the same three reasons.

  1. You reconstruct instead of tracking

    On Friday you piece together from your calendar, emails and chat what you did on Tuesday. Whatever you cannot find, you do not bill.

  2. Your spreadsheet is only almost right

    Rounding, hourly rates, breaks and budgets live in formulas only you understand. One shifted reference and the invoice is wrong.

  3. Your client asks questions

    Without clean records you argue about hours instead of results. And when in doubt, you give in.

From the first tap to the invoice, without detours

This is exactly where HORAKA comes in: every switch of project is one tap, and HORAKA takes care of everything after that.

Track in a second, even on the go

Tap a favourite and the clock is running. Switch projects without gaps and add forgotten time with the smart time field: 930, 9:30 or 1.5 h is all it takes.

  • As an app on iPhone, Android and desktop, no app store needed
  • Works without signal and syncs by itself later
  • Start with Siri, an NFC tag on your desk or a Stream Deck
Tracking in the app: one-tap start, favourites and today’s entries

Spot the gaps before they cost you money

The calendar lays your week out in front of you. Empty slots stand out at once, and an entry is created, moved or extended with a single drag.

  • Day, week and month in your project colours
  • Push reminder when nothing has been tracked today

Calculates as precisely as your accountant

Set rounding, breaks and hourly rates once per project. From then on HORAKA rounds clock times and durations by itself, shows the amount for every entry, and the budget warns you before things get tight.

  • Rounding from 1 to 60 minutes, up, down or to the nearest
  • Hourly rates per client, project and activity, valid from a date
  • Time and money budgets, fixed prices with an effective rate

Bill in minutes instead of a whole evening

Mark the month as billed and send your client a timesheet that leaves no questions open. Or let your ERP collect the entries directly.

  • Timesheets as PDF, Excel and CSV, emailed to your client
  • Billing runs with invoice numbers, billed entries are locked
  • REST API and webhooks for accounting and ERP

Why I built HORAKA

I am Marc Breuer, owner of giant Computer Systems. Like you, I jump between clients, projects and tasks every day, and every one of those hours needs to be billed properly in the end.

Over the years I tried countless time tracking tools. Each had good ideas: one a fast timer, another nice reports, a third clean billing. But none could do it all. There was always some spreadsheet left over, some frustration, and some time I never billed.

At some point I stopped searching and started building: with everything I liked in all those tools, and without what got in my way. HORAKA is the time tracking I always wanted, and the one I use myself every day.

And everything else that goes with it

Lots of small things that save time every day. The Features page shows what each plan includes.

  • Timer and time field

    One tap starts, one tap switches the project. Adding time afterwards is quicker with the smart time field than with any clock.

  • Calendar

    Day, week and month. Drag to create and move, drag the edge to extend.

  • Rounding and budgets

    Rounding per project with interval, mode and minimum duration, per entry or per day. Budgets warn you before it gets expensive.

  • Reports and exports

    Overview and reports by client, project, activity and person, compared with the previous period.

  • Shortcuts and NFC

    Start the timer with Siri, from your home screen or with an NFC tag on your desk.

  • API and webhooks

    A REST API with a maintained OpenAPI description, so your time gets into your ERP without retyping.

  • Team

    Invite team members and give them only the projects they should book on.

  • Installable and offline

    Installed as an app, time tracking starts even without signal or in flight mode. Once you are back online, everything syncs by itself.

See all features

Starts wherever you are

A button on your desk, an NFC tag by the door, a shortcut on your home screen. And once the entries are done, your ERP collects them through the API.

Shortcuts and NFC in every plan. Horaka Desktop, guides for Flic, Stream Deck, AutoHotkey and automations, the EARLY connector and the write API in Premium.

Frequently asked questions

Does HORAKA work offline?

Yes. Installed as an app on your phone or desktop, time tracking starts even without signal or in flight mode, once you have opened the app online. Without a connection you start and stop timers and add, edit and delete entries. Everything is stored on the device first and syncs by itself as soon as you are back online; if two devices change the same entry, the app shows you what was not applied. Reports, the calendar and settings need a connection.

Where is my data stored, and who can see it?

The servers are in a data centre run by Hetzner Online GmbH in Germany. Cloudflare delivers the site and fends off attacks. There are no tracking or advertising services, only strictly necessary cookies. You can download a data processing agreement under Art. 28 GDPR as a PDF.

Can I cancel at any time?

Yes. You cancel in the customer portal to the end of the paid month or year. Afterwards you continue on Free and all your data is kept. If you want everything deleted, you request deletion of the workspace with a 14 day notice period.

How many team members can I invite?

Free is for you alone. Standard allows up to 3 people, Premium up to 5 and each additional person for €2.50 per month. Team members only book on the projects you assign to them.

Can I bring my time entries from qlaqs or Excel?

Yes, in every plan. The import reads CSV and Excel files, recognises separators and encodings and detects the CSV and XML export from qlaqs on its own, even with hidden columns. You get a preview first, duplicates are detected and an import can be undone.

Is there an API?

Yes. From Standard you read time entries, projects and reports through a REST API, in Premium you can also write, control the timer through triggers and receive webhooks. The OpenAPI description is public at api.horaka.com/docs.

How does rounding work?

You set an interval from 1 to 60 minutes per workspace and project, round up, down or to the nearest, per entry or per day, with a minimum duration and break rules. Typed clock times are rounded too, when rounding up the start goes down and the end goes up. The rounded time is what you see and bill, the recorded time stays stored in the background.

Which currency do I bill in?

You choose the currency of your workspace: euro, Swiss franc, pound, US dollar, Danish, Swedish and Norwegian krone, złoty or Czech koruna. The subscription itself is charged in euro.

Which languages are available?

German and English, set per account. Dates, numbers and amounts follow your language. More languages are prepared.

What happens after the trial?

Every new workspace tries Premium for 14 days without a card. If you do not subscribe, you continue on Free automatically. You get an email three days before the end.
