Clean design and pleasant aesthetic
From 3 comments
It looks really wonderful! I enjoy that you went for a pleasant aesthetic instead of a cold generic UI framework theme. I have to be honest though with this specific feature set…
__jonas on HNLove the aesthetic and how you've organized things in the UI. I don't freelance, but this seems like a helpful tool, especially the report generation.
wildrhythms on HNGreat web app, great UX. What did you use for user registration and confirmatino email? Auth0?

Useful for freelancers, report generation liked

Love the aesthetic and how you've organized things in the UI. I don't freelance, but this seems like a helpful tool, especially the report generation.
wildrhythms on HNLooks like a great tool. Thanks for sharing. Might consider using it if I start freelancing more, as I much prefer to support other small creators than big corporate software.…

Objections
Paid model unattractive; freelancers prefer free tools like Google Sheets
From 2 comments
I'm a freelancer now and similarly to OP, I'm not sure I want to add any additional costs so paying for your app is a no-go for me when I can use Google Sheets for everything I…
saberience on HNIt looks very nice, congrats on launching! My feedback as a freelancer: one of my main goals is to keep my costs as low as possible, especially fixed costs. For tracking time and…

Currency is USD-confusing for VAT-focused UK users
From 1 comment
This supports VAT, so it's intended for Brits. But it bills in dollars. I found this confusing.

Free tier with fee on invoices
From 3 comments
There are many different flavors of freelancers. I try to focus on serving one client well, but there are others who serve multiple clients, often tracking hours on multiple…
davedx on HNI disagree. I focus on serving one client at a time, as well. Occasionally two, if one doesn't have enough work for me. I have a custom portal I built for tracking time/expenses,…

Full data export
From 1 comment
Seeing as this is for business use where money is part of the data, is there a way to export all my data at once? Not only for having a backup, but also in the future in case I…

Questions
Support for other currencies
From 2 comments
Looks really useful and love the design. Is there a way to change the currency? I'm U.S. based and would need it in $ and with ability to turn off VAT calculations
rsingel on HNMy feedback as a freelancer.. change the struggles to questions. Instead of "Lost revenue from unaccounted hours" make me think: "Have you lost revenue due to unaccounted hours?"…

FreeAgent

Congrats on the launch! I wondered if you’d looked to FreeAgent (https://www.freeagent.com) for inspiration at all, and what you see as the key differences.
