Freelancer time tracking
Freelance time tracking for work that does not fit timers.
Freelance days mix paid production, client research, proposals, messages, admin, and drift. drifty captures the Mac context automatically so you can review the shape of the day before memory fills in the gaps.
Freelance time disappears in the space between client deliverables.
Most freelancers remember the visible work and lose the connective tissue: research, revisions, messages, proposal context, invoice cleanup, and the drift that arrives between them. drifty gives that hidden time a reviewable shape.
- Review client-related work without depending on perfect timer discipline.
- Tell productive research from avoidance once the session context is visible.
- See admin overhead and context switching across the week.
- Choose hosted AI, local classification, or API key-based setup depending on how you want classification to run.
Freelance signals worth separating.
The value is not a prettier timer. It is a clearer explanation of mixed work.
Client delivery
Production work, feedback, and revisions become easier to review when the surrounding context is captured.
Admin overhead
Email, billing, and scheduling stop looking like invisible leakage and start looking like a measurable part of the week.
Freelance time tracking FAQ.
Is drifty a billing timer?
No. drifty is not a billing system. It helps you understand activity and context so your workday is easier to review before you summarize it elsewhere.
Can drifty help when I switch between clients?
Yes. Automatic activity capture makes context switching easier to inspect, especially when research, admin, and client production happen close together.
Do I need to manually tag every client session?
No. The product is built around automatic capture and AI classification, so manual tagging is not the starting point.
