Hourbun is a time tracking and invoicing app for freelancers and small teams. It is made by Fred Wu and run by Wuit Pty Ltd, a business in Melbourne, Australia.

Why Hourbun

Over the years I tried dozens of time tracking and invoicing apps. Harvest was the only one I liked, mostly for its intuitive UI and UX, and I was happy to pay a fair price for it.

Then its price went up tenfold, and I had to look for something else. I tried many of the alternatives again, and found nothing that I liked.

So, with more than 20 years of software engineering behind me, I built my own.

What it does

I built Hourbun for my own work first. Then I added what other freelancers and teams need:

  • Time tracking with a timer, a day view and a week view
  • Invoices, recurring invoices and online payments with Stripe
  • Estimates (quotes) that your clients can accept online
  • Expenses, with their receipts
  • Teams, with timesheet approvals
  • Reports, and a one-way copy of your invoices and their payments to Xero
  • An import of your Harvest account, or of a CSV of time from any other app

How it is made

  • Fast. Every page should feel snappy, faster than Harvest. Hourbun runs in the United States, and it is still fast from Australia.
  • Easy to use. I spent a lot of time on the details of the UI and UX, so that tracking your time and sending an invoice take as few steps as possible.
  • Made with care. AI agents were a big part of building Hourbun, but it is not vibe-coded: experience and care went into every part of it.
  • Private. No ads, no analytics and no tracking. The privacy policy says what we keep, and why.
