Time tracking for freelancers who bill clients — timers, rates and reports you own.
Developers rent API docs, monitoring, secrets and webhook plumbing by the month for side projects that earn nothing yet. Self-hosted pay-once utilities cost less than one month of the SaaS they replace.
The tool this job usually means renting is Toggl, at $10/user/mo — roughly $120 a year, every year. Timevault does the job for a one-time $79 — running on infrastructure you control.
Description, project, tags, Enter to start. The timer is server state — reload, close the tab, restart your browser, it keeps counting.
For developers, one-click timer pays off while you're shipping, not managing vendor accounts — and it's covered by the same one-time $79, not metered per month.
Start + end times, or start + duration ("1:30", "1.5", "90m"). Stop, discard mistakes, or one-click continue any previous entry.
For developers, manual entries pays off while you're shipping, not managing vendor accounts — and it's covered by the same one-time $79, not metered per month.
Colors, billable flags and hourly rates per project. Archive finished projects without losing history.

Timevault is $79, once. Toggl at $10/user/mo — roughly $120 a year, every year. Eight months of Toggl pays for Timevault outright — after that, every tracked hour is pure margin.
