Track the hours. Send the invoice. Get paid.
The shortest path from a week of work to a paid invoice.
A demo of the timesheet. In the Day view, Track time opens a new entry with the last project already chosen, a note and 1.5 hours are typed, and Save adds the entry. In the Week view, 1 is typed into an empty cell, which saves when the pointer moves on. The week total goes from 43:45 to 46:15.
Hourbun does a lot, but every screen stays plain, clear and quick to use.
Dashboard, Time, Expenses, Invoices, Estimates and Reports, plus your clients, projects, tasks, team and settings.
Your workspace starts with a currency, a week start and payment terms. Add a client, a project and a task, and track your first hour.
Every button says what it does, in plain words, so you find your way without a manual.
Start on your own, and invite teammates when you need them.
Track your hours, invoice them at the right rate and get paid. The reports and the dashboard show what’s next.
Type hours into the Week view, add one entry at a time in the Day view, or run the timer.
Each entry keeps the rate it was tracked at. When you change a rate, Hourbun asks which time it should apply to.
Pick a client and its projects: their uninvoiced time starts selected, and you can add lines for a fixed fee or a product.
Your client can pay online from the link in the email, or you record payments yourself, in full or in part.
Billable and non-billable hours for any timeframe, by client, project or task, with a total per currency.
The dashboard shows what to invoice, what is overdue and what needs your attention.
Hourbun starts simple. Estimates, expenses and the finer points of an invoice are ready when a job asks for them.
Before the work
Agree on the price before you track an hour.
Estimates
Your client accepts or declines online, with a typed name.
Into a project
An accepted estimate becomes a project with its budget, or a deposit invoice.
Budgets
In hours or in money, with a warning on the dashboard.
Beyond the hours
Costs and regular work go on the invoice too.
Expenses
With the receipt, a category and the markup of the project.
Recurring invoices
A fixed amount or the period’s time, on a schedule, as a draft or sent for you.
A saved card
Your client can save a card to pay each recurring invoice on the day it’s issued.
On the invoice
Fit each client, and fix a sent invoice with a credit note.
Grouped lines
One line for each project, task or person, with the detail on later pages.
Tax and rounding
A tax on each line, a second tax, and time rounded to 6, 15 or 30 minutes.
Your client’s language
Invoices in nine languages, from German to Japanese, with your client’s PO number.
Hourbun starts solo and grows with your team: invite teammates, approve their time, see their week and know what each hour earns.
Invite teammates by email as members, managers or admins. Members never see rates or amounts.
Teammates submit their week, managers approve it or send it back, and only approved time is invoiced.
The Team page shows each teammate’s hours against their capacity, billable or not, and the state of their week.
Set rates by task or by person, and see the cost and profit of each teammate’s time.
Hourbun works with the tools you already use, and your data stays yours.
Bring the history of your old time tracker, whichever it is, and keep your books in step.
Connect your Harvest account to import its clients, projects, people, time, expenses and estimates, and check a preview before anything is added.
Export CSV files from your old time tracker or a spreadsheet, and upload them as separate files or as one .zip file.
Each invoice and credit note that you issue is copied to your Xero organisation, with its lines and tax.
Every page works in light and dark mode and fits a small screen, so you can track your hours on the train home.
Download a whole workspace as CSV files, or your account as one JSON file, at any time. Delete your account, and the workspaces that you own go with it.
Over the years, I’ve tried dozens of time tracking and invoicing apps, some simple and some powerful. None of them felt quite right.
So I baked Hourbun with one goal: tracking time and sending invoices should be simple and intuitive, so more of your time and energy goes into the actual work.

What Hourbun does, in short answers.
Hourbun is a web app for fast, intuitive time tracking and invoicing: you track your hours, turn them into PDF invoices and record the payments. With a team, Hourbun also tracks the time of your teammates, and a Team or Enterprise workspace can approve their weeks before it bills them.
Yes. Link your own Stripe account to Hourbun, and your client can pay an invoice by card or bank debit from its page. The money goes straight to you, and Hourbun records the payment.
Yes. In Hourbun, each client or project can have its own currency, and reports keep a separate total for each currency.
No. Hourbun emails each invoice to your client with the PDF attached and a link to its page, and replies come to you. You can also download the PDF and send it yourself.
Yes. In Hourbun, the owner and the admins of a workspace can download all of its data as CSV files in one .zip file, with the receipts and the logos, from Settings → Export. Each user can also download their account as one JSON file from the Your data page, with the data of each workspace that they own.
Add a client, track your first hour, and send the invoice when the work is done.
