A simple time tracker for freelance work.
Whether you bill by the hour or quote a fixed price, it helps to know how long client work actually takes. TapSpan records it, one tap at a time, with no monthly fee.
The fixed-price project that kept growing.
You quoted Linden Studio a fixed price for a website redesign, expecting about 20 hours. Then came two rounds of revisions and a few calls from another client in the middle.
TapSpan doesn’t judge whether the price was right. It gives you the real hours, so you can.
| Design and build | 18:20:00 |
|---|---|
| Revisions round 1 | 4:05:00 |
| Revisions round 2 | 1:15:00 |
| Client calls | 0:40:00 |
| Recorded in TapSpan | 24:20:00 |
| Your original estimate | About 20 hours |
| Difference | About 4 hours 20 minutes more |
Hourly or fixed price
Set a rate for hourly clients. Leave it off for fixed-price work and see time only.
Name the revisions
Add a description to each session, such as “Revisions round 2”, so you can see where the extra time went.
Unexpected interruptions
Switch to another client’s call, then return. Neither project borrows the other’s time.
Export your records
CSV export for timesheets, invoices or your own spreadsheet.
No monthly subscription
One payment on the App Store, with every feature included. About pricing.
Just you
Made for independent work. There are no teams, seats or shared workspaces.
What TapSpan leaves to you
TapSpan doesn’t estimate project profitability, manage contracts or send invoices. It records accurate hours. What you do with them is up to you.
Questions freelancers ask
Can I start timing before I’ve set up the client?
Yes. Use the Quick Timer and assign the session to a customer and job afterwards.
Will it work on my Mac or Android phone?
TapSpan is an iPhone app. There is no sync between devices.
