Bill every hour you work. No timers.
Timerless keeps your timesheet while you work. It notes what’s on your Mac, sorts it by client and drafts your day. Each evening you check it in about a minute, then bill every hour.
For Mac, macOS 13 or later. In a small pilot now: you can ask to join it.

Off the computer. A meeting or a call?
Best guess: you worked on it before and after
An example day with made-up clients. Try it: answer the two questions, then approve.
It sorts the day by itself
It uses the rules you’ve taught it, client names in window titles, your email and calendar, and clues like the Slack channel, the Figma file or the code folder. What it can’t place, it asks about, with its best guess first.
| What it noticed | Sorted to | Because |
|---|---|---|
| VS CodeFolder: acme-site | Sorting…Acme Studio · Website redesign | The folder is named after the client. |
| Gmail“Re: menu proofs” with lea@hartleysbakery.co.uk | Sorting…Hartley’s Bakery · Brand identity | You email that address. It reads who, subject and date, never the message. |
| Slack#hartley-brand | Sorting…Hartley’s Bakery · Brand identity | The channel names the client. |
| Away from the Mac“Weekly check-in” in your calendar, 10:00–10:30 | Sorting…Acme Studio · Website redesign | The meeting is with people at Acme, so the time away counts. |
| YouTubeyoutube.com | Sorting…Not work | You said so once. It remembers. |
| FigmaMenu v3 | Sorting…Asks you | Not sure, so it asks, one click, with its best guess first: your answer on 2 earlier days. |
How much do you give away?
Quick client tasks, like an email, a call or a small fix, are the hours a manual timer misses. Put in your own numbers.
£5,500
a year, for 110 hours you worked and didn’t bill.
Timerless records every stretch of client work from a minute up, so these end up on the invoice.
Then it gets you paid
Approved hours become an invoice that follows UK rules, sent from your Gmail when you click. Then Timerless drafts every next step, with the late fee the law allows.
| Day | Example: invoice 2026-014 for £6,860.00, due in 30 days | Who acts |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | Invoice 2026-014, made from 98 approved hours, with your bank details and pay link. | You click Send |
| 27 | “Invoice 2026-014 is due on 12 November”: a friendly heads-up, invoice attached. | Drafted for you |
| 30 | “Invoice 2026-014 is due today” | Drafted for you |
| 37 | “Invoice 2026-014 is overdue”: could they say when it will be paid? | Drafted for you |
| 51 | “Overdue: invoice 2026-014, 21 days late”, claiming £46.38 interest and £70 compensation under the Late Payment Act. | Drafted for you |
| 58 | A letter before action, then a court claim pack you file on gov.uk, if it ever comes to that. | Only if you choose |
Reminders wait for your click unless you turn on automatic reminders (weekdays, 9:00 to 17:00). Letters never go by themselves. Upload a bank statement and it marks what’s been paid. Work out your own late fee with the late payment calculator.

Your activity never leaves your Mac
Timerless works for the person whose time it records. It reads as little as it can, keeps it on your Mac, and sends nothing until you click.
Read, and kept on your Mac
- The app in front, and its window title
- The website’s domain, never the full address
- When you’re away from the keyboard
- Email: who, subject and date. Never the message.
- Calendar: who, when and the title
- Raw activity is deleted after 30 days
Sent only when you click
- Invoices and payment reminders to your clients
- Weekly updates to your clients
- Each quarter’s figures to your accountant
- Invoices to FreeAgent or Xero
- Nothing about your work comes to us. The app only checks for updates.
Never: screenshots, keystrokes, productivity scores or the text of your emails. Timerless isn’t built for watching staff.
