What's in the box
Everything you need. Nothing you'll mute.
We cut every feature that made us feel watched. What's left is fast, loud and on your side.
One button timer
Start from your phone, your laptop or the menu bar. Forgot? Drag a block onto yesterday and it's fixed.
Reports that read
Where the week went, per client and project, in one chart you can actually read.
Invoices from hours
Pick the hours, press Invoice. Your rate, your logo, 14 currencies, paid by card.
Gentle reminders
A nudge when a timer runs past midnight. Never a nag about your 'productivity'.
Small teams welcome
Share projects with up to 25 people. Everyone sees their own hours; you see the totals.
Plays nice
Calendar, Slack, Linear and 30 more. Or skip them all: Punchcard works fine on its own.
How it works
Three steps. Zero spreadsheets.
Press start
Pick a client (or don't) and hit the big button. The timer follows you from phone to laptop.
Do the work
Punchcard stays out of the way. No screenshots, no activity scores, no pop-ups asking how you feel.
Send the invoice
At the end of the month, pick the hours and press Invoice. It goes out with a pay button on it.
Who uses it
Made for people who make things.
Designers, illustrators, photographers, developers, potters. If you bill by the hour, it's yours.

People actually like it. We checked.
I used to guess my hours on the last day of the month. Now I just press the button and forget about it. My invoices went up by a fifth.
Maren HoltIllustrator Our old tracker took screenshots. Punchcard takes nothing but time. The team stopped hating Fridays.
Theo BanksStudio lead, six people The pay button on the invoice is the whole reason we switched. Clients pay the same week.
Ines OkaforPhotographer It's the only app on my phone that's never sent me a notification I didn't want.
Jonas LindFreelance developer I set it up between two coffees. The reports finally showed me which client was eating my week.
Clara WeissBrand designer We track 14 people across 30 projects and nobody has asked me how it works. That's the review.

Questions
Before you ask.
Is it really free?
Yes. Tracking for one person with up to three clients is free, forever, with no card. You pay only for invoices with a pay button, more clients or a team.
Does Punchcard watch what I do?
No. No screenshots, no keystrokes, no activity scores. It counts the time you tell it to count, and that's it.
Can I bring my old timesheets?
Import a CSV from any tracker and your history is in. We have ready-made imports for the five most common ones.
Where is my data?
On servers in the EU, encrypted at rest. Export everything as CSV or JSON any time, and delete your account in two clicks.
One email a month. No guilt.
What we shipped, one tip on getting paid faster, and nothing else. Unsubscribe whenever.
Your time is money. Start counting it.
Free for one person, forever. Set up in 40 seconds, first invoice by Friday.
