Live timers, rate types for overtime and rush work, a rate cascade that picks the right rate automatically, and minimum billing that protects your bottom line. Time tracking that feeds directly into invoicing and profitability.
Everything you need, nothing you don't.
Start a timer from any project, client, or the global nav. Switch between tasks without losing a second. Timers sync across devices.
Define custom rate types with multipliers. Overtime at 1.5x, rush at 2x, or whatever fits your business. Each type has its own billing rules.
Set rates at the member, client, or project level. Clearmargin picks the most specific rate automatically — project overrides client, client overrides member.
Tag entries as billable or non-billable. Non-billable time still shows in reports and profitability — so you see the true cost of every project.
Set minimum billable hours per rate type. If you bill a 2-hour minimum for on-site work, a 45-minute visit bills as 2 hours. Applied per-type across entries to prevent overbilling.
Round time entries to 6-minute, 15-minute, or custom increments. Standard for legal and consulting billing. Configure per rate type.
Day, week, and list views with drag-to-adjust duration. See your time at a glance and fix mistakes before invoicing.
Each team member tracks their own time with their own rate. Internal hourly cost tracks what you pay them. Profitability = what you charge minus what you pay.
Select time entries and generate an invoice in one click. Rates, multipliers, and labor breakdowns are already calculated.
See how your industry uses this feature day-to-day.
You can set a default rate on each team member, override it per client, and override again per project. Clearmargin always uses the most specific rate. If a project rate exists, it wins. Otherwise, the client rate. Otherwise, the member default.
Minimum billing ensures you charge at least a set number of hours for a rate type. If your on-site minimum is 2 hours and you work 45 minutes, the client is billed for 2 hours. Minimums are applied per rate type across all entries in an invoice period to prevent overbilling.
Yes. Non-billable time entries are excluded from invoices but included in reports and profitability analysis. This gives you an accurate picture of where your time actually goes — not just the hours you bill.
Clearmargin is a progressive web app. Start and stop timers from your phone browser, and they sync with the desktop app instantly. No separate mobile app to install.
