Time tracking software for teams, from the first timer to the invoice

Punchly records where your team’s time goes, whichever way each person prefers to record it, and turns it into what you need next: a timesheet a manager has checked, an invoice a client can pay, a project that stays inside its budget.

Paid plans from $2 a person a month. 7-day free trial of the Pro plan’s features, no credit card needed.

Track time

Everyone tracks the way that suits them

Not everyone records time the same way. In Punchly, the same record can be filled in four ways, and the numbers add up whichever they choose.

A timer

For people who like to press Start and forget about it.

A weekly timesheet

For people who fill in their hours at the end of the day.

A calendar

For people who think in blocks, with their Google or Outlook meetings beside their time.

Apps

On every device, with or without internet

Punchly runs in the browser, as a small desktop app for Windows, Mac and Linux, and as a phone app for Android and iPhone. A timer started on one is running on all of them. The desktop and phone apps keep tracking with no connection and send the time when they are back online.

Reports

See where the time went

Tracked time is only useful when it answers a question. Reports group hours by client, project, task or person, in any order, for any dates, and the dashboard shows the week at a glance. Export a report to PDF, or to Excel and CSV on a paid plan, or have it emailed to you on a schedule.

Projects

Keep projects inside their budget

Give a project a limit in hours or in money and Punchly shows how much is used while the work is still going on. An alert warns you before the limit is reached, the forecast adds the work still planned to the hours already tracked to show where the project will end, and the schedule shows who has room for the next one.

Billing

Turn hours into money

Set billable rates for a person, a project or a task, and every report shows what the work earned. At the end of the month, put a client’s unbilled hours and expenses on an invoice, send it by email and record the payment, or send the time to QuickBooks Online and bill from there.

Open about monitoring

Some companies need proof of work; many do not. Screenshots, app names and location exist in Punchly, and all three are off until an admin switches them on. When they are on, every person is told what is recorded before it starts and can see when it is recording.
