Why it's different

Stopwatches tell you what happened.
This tells you why.

Toggl, Clockify and Harvest are built to log hours for billing. One Day Tracker is built to help you actually plan a better day โ€” then hold yourself to it.

Planned vs actual

Block out your day in advance, then log what really happened. See exactly where time slips, every single day.

Built-in focus timer

A Pomodoro-style countdown timer lives next to your plan โ€” no need for a second app or browser tab.

7-day analytics

A rolling week view of where your hours actually go, broken down by category โ€” Work, Study, Exercise and more.

One-click timesheet export

Export everything to CSV whenever you need a timesheet for a client, an employer, or your own records.

No account, ever

Open the page and start. Your data is stored locally in your browser โ€” nothing to sign up for, nothing to lose access to.

ยฃ0, permanently

Not a free tier with limits. Not a 14-day trial. Every feature, every day, for free โ€” supported voluntarily by people who find it useful.

Built for real days

Freelancers, employees, and anyone tired of guessing where the day went

Freelancers use it to track billable hours per client and export clean timesheets for invoices. Employees use it to structure a workday and prove output without their employer needing to buy software. Students and self-starters use it to see, in plain numbers, whether their routine matches their intentions.

The honest comparison

We're not trying to out-feature the billing-focused tools. Here's exactly where each one makes sense.

Best for Teams & client billing Teams & reporting Agencies & invoicing

Need to invoice multiple clients across a team? Harvest or Toggl may genuinely suit you better. One Day Tracker is built for individual daily planning, not team billing.

Frequently asked questions

Is One Day Tracker really free?

Yes โ€” completely. No hidden plans, no trial period, no ads. Every feature, including analytics, the timer, CSV export and templates, is available to everyone at no cost. The project is supported voluntarily through Buy Me a Coffee, not through subscriptions.

What's the difference between this and Toggl or Clockify?

Toggl and Clockify are stopwatches built for teams to bill clients. One Day Tracker is built for one person to plan a day and see how reality compared to the plan โ€” no account, no team features, no limits.

Do I need to make an account?

No. Open the app and start tracking immediately. Your data lives in your browser's local storage โ€” nothing is sent to a server, and there's nothing to sign up for.

Can I use this for client billing or work timesheets?

Yes. Log time against tasks, then export everything to CSV whenever you need a timesheet for an invoice or an employer.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes. The app is fully responsive and works in any mobile browser on iOS or Android โ€” no app store download required.
