        <description><![CDATA[<p>Hi!<br />
(Maybe related to this <a rel="nofollow" href="https://talk.lowendspirit.com/discussion/2698/accounting-software/">Accounting Software</a> topic.)</p>

<p>I've been looking into and testing different time tracking software. After I switched to Centiga.no for billing and accounting, I also switched to <a rel="nofollow" href="https://clockify.me/">Clockify</a> for tracking hours spent on different projects and clients, and it works well. (I can export CSV and create the reports needed.)<br />
The only thing I'm missing in the free version, is the ability to easily mark hours/entries as billed/finished. (Invoicing is a premium feature, and so is bulk editing.)</p>

<p>So, searching a bit, I found many alternatives. Most cheap or free options has some of the features I want hidden (only available in expensive plans).</p>

<p>For me, the most important is that it should be really quick to (re)start a timer for some project. This is easy in Clockify, but also seems I found a promising alternatives:<br />
1. <a rel="nofollow" href="https://tmetric.com/">TMetric</a>. Seems to have better reporting, easy way to bulk set entries to <em>Invoiced</em> and more. It seems the paid features are stuff I don't need. (Disclaimer: The trial period hasn't ended, so can't yet be 100 % sure if the functionality I've used is available on the free plan.) Support was responsive. Only drawback I found, was no native dark mode.<br />
2. <a rel="nofollow" href="https://futuramo.com/">Futuramo</a> also seemed very promising. It has dark mode, and most features I wanted. Haven't tested it too much yet, as I think I like TMetric's time entry options even better, so giving that a shot first.</p>

<p>I could also mention <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.actitime.com/">actiTIME</a>, which also seems to perform well. The approach is a bit different, and entering time a bit less flexible (but it also has other possibilities, maybe a better fit for some).</p>

<p>My plan was also to give <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.invoiceninja.org/">InvoiceNinja</a> a shot. I did look in the hosted version, but there the reporting module is a part of a paid plan, and I haven't gotten around to installing a self-hosted version yet.</p>

<p>Will see how much more I'll end up testing. If TMetrics keeps working great after the trial period ends, I will probably stick with that.<br />
(I know Centiga.no is planning for a paid module for time tracking, so I might give that a try, though. Direct integration with billing and account would be nice.)</p>

<p>There are quite a few others to check.<br />
(Wasn't sure if General was the correct category.)</p>
