About Clockd

We built the tracker we wanted: one that does not stop at a stopwatch.

The gap we kept falling into

There are dozens of good time trackers. Almost all of them end at an export button. The genuinely tedious part of freelancing is not recording that you worked for ninety minutes — it is the evening at the end of the month spent turning a spreadsheet of ninety-minute blocks into eight correct invoices with the right rates, the right rounding, sequential numbers and no arithmetic errors.

That evening is unpaid, it recurs forever, and it is entirely mechanical. It is the kind of work software should have absorbed a decade ago.

What we decided early

• The phone captures, the desktop corrects. Asking people to do careful data entry on a phone does not work. Asking them to remember to open a laptop before starting work does not work either. Each device does what it is good at.
• Money is never a floating-point number. Every amount in Clockd is an integer number of cents. An invoice that is one cent off is a support conversation and a small dent in trust.
• Invoices are frozen when issued. Line items are snapshotted, not recalculated from live data. Changing a project rate must never alter an invoice a client has already received.
• Rounding is applied once, to the total. Rounding every entry up to the nearest fifteen minutes can bill three times the work performed. We round each project's period total instead.
• Your data leaves whenever you want. Export is not a retention lever. It works after you cancel.

Where we are

Clockd is early. The mobile app, the desktop calendar and month-end invoicing all work; a lot of the surrounding polish does not exist yet. If you try it and something is missing, tell us — at this stage that genuinely determines what gets built next.
