What reviewers keep saying

Four things come up across the 26 written reviews below. The wall keeps all of them, including the four-star ratings and the feature requests.

Start and stop in one click

The praise that repeats most is about how little the tool asks of you: pick the project, press start, and get back to the work itself.

The app is simple, clean, and intuitive, which makes it easy to log and monitor hours without getting distracted by unnecessary features.

Reports that become the invoice

Freelancers and consultants describe the same last mile: filter the month, export it, and bill from it without rebuilding the numbers by hand.

Export it to Excel for further analysis, or send it to your clients for billing purposes.

One record across every device

People move between the desktop app, the phone, and the browser extension during one working day, and expect to find a single record waiting.

It helps me accurately track my billable hours across all my devices (Android, Windows, iOS).

Free, and it stays that way

Free comes up again and again, usually with a note of disbelief. There is no seat count, no advertising, and nothing switching off later.

What Sandtime.io users say

Many of these reviews were written before July 2026, when Sandtime.io added self-service API keys for its REST API and its MCP server for AI assistants. Reviews below that ask for API access are answered by the REST API and MCP server documentation.

Useful tracker

This is a useful tracker that has what I need. It tracks task/projects. Has the ability to put out a report and you can still edit the times if you forgot to start or stop the clock. I’m recommending it to everyone on my team at work.

Can’t believe how amazing this app is

So amazing - where have you been all my life? Can track time for different tasks and file them under projects - will tell you when times overlap. I just love it and it’s free.

Love this app!

I’ve been using Sandtime.io for my time tracking, and it works perfectly well for me. The app is simple, clean, and intuitive, which makes it easy to log and monitor hours without getting distracted by unnecessary features. What I like: ease of use, reliable tracking with no glitches or missing logs, smooth desktop and mobile support, and visual reports that show where time goes. It’s a strong fit for freelancers, architects/designers, small teams, and anyone who wants a lightweight but powerful time tracking tool. For me, it just works - no complications.

Amazing application for time tracking

This is a really good application that solved one big issue for me: having multiple timers running at the same time. The only minor minus is the fact that it doesn’t have a dark theme. I’ve tried others, and this was the best out there. Thanks for creating this and making it free <3

Essential Time Tracking App for IT Consultants

As a professional IT consultant, I use this app every day. It helps me accurately track my billable hours across all my devices (Android, Windows, iOS). It has a clean interface and all the features I need. I highly recommend to anyone needing to keep diligent time keeping.

Works WInderfully

This app syncs perfectly across all devices. It’s an awesome tool for keeping track of time! Only thing I would ask the developers is to allow seeing the timesheet per activity as well as per project

Great app.

A very helpful app. It is a great fit for me because I often forget to track activities right away and fill them in later, so the start and stop flow works especially well.

A must-have for freelancers

As a freelancer who manages multiple projects, this software has helped me enormously. I decide which project I will work on, select it and just start working. When I want to take a break, I just stop the activity and start a new one when I’m back. The reports are very handy, and you can create a general one for all projects, grouped by day, export it to Excel for further analysis, or send it to your clients for billing purposes. What I would like to see is API access so I can obtain my production data in real time with Sandtime.io as the source of truth instead of a master Excel file.

Reply from Sandtime.io, July 2026: the REST API this review asks for is available, with API keys created in Settings > Integrations > API.

It is useful

The tool does what I need to be done. I am sure that it has more capabilities, but for me it works great. I may suggest to have the ability to export the summary report to either excel or a text file, but it is just a suggestion

Great App

Wonderful app for keeping track of freelance projects. Would like the reporting to be a bit better but I can live with it.

Excellent tool

This app has incredibly helped me to keep track of all the projects I work on. You can add multiple projects and stop or restart any that you might need. I only have two issues, sometimes it doesn’t load when I press it so I have to close it and reload it again but it takes like 3 secs and I can’t add notes to it. Other than that it has been the best I have found so far and completely free! No ads

Great app but contains minor bugs

I recently went from a job in academia to a private consultant where I have to track my time across billable projects. Coming from academia, where you don’t typically track your time so closely, I found it a huge challenge to adjust. I constantly found myself neglecting to track my time and completely forgetting what I had worked on all week. This app saved my life. It makes it so easy to track your workday at the push of a button. However, the app contains minor bugs which, though annoying, do not prevent the app from being a productive tool. The most annoying bug is that sometimes the app will not allow you to stop the timer and switch to another project which usually requires restarting your computer, not just the app, to correct. More customizations for the types of statistics you want to see on the dashboard would be nice too.
