Where the week went
Meridian took 54% of your billable time across 4 sessions. The other 2 clients split the rest.
Every hour worked. Every hour billed.
The automatic time tracker for freelancers, agencies, and remote teams. It runs quietly on Mac and Windows, sorts your focus into client projects, and turns the hours into invoices.

Straight from app.stunda.io and the Mac tracker. This is what you sign in to.
Where billable hours quietly go missing
Three ordinary habits, and what each one costs on a deliberately modest assumption. Swap in your own and the shape holds.
-
You forgot to start the timer. Again.
You meant to. Then you got into flow. Two hours later you're reconstructing the day from memory.
3h 30m a month, at 10 minutes a day -
You rounded down because you were not sure.
Was that three hours or five? You could not say for certain, so you billed the number you could defend. That is always the smaller one.
2h 09m a month, at 15 minutes twice a week -
Friday was reconstructed from memory.
Calendar, sent mail, git log, and a guess. The work you did on Tuesday afternoon simply never made it onto the invoice.
1h 26m a month, at 20 minutes a week
7h 05m a month you worked and never invoiced. Close to a full working day, every month, at whatever your rate happens to be.
Stunda closes all three, automatically.
While you read that, it was already measuring.
No timer was started. No project was tagged. This is one tracked Thursday, drawn to scale, exactly as Stunda records it.

What does the time you forget to log come to?
Not our estimate. Move the slider to whatever you think slips through in a day, and the arithmetic runs on the rate you set in the meter above.

This is the argument for tracking automatically in one number. If it comes out at zero for you, you do not need us, and we would rather say so. Work out your billable share instead.
Tracked on your desktop. Billed from your browser.
Every session syncs to app.stunda.io on its own, from whichever machine you were on. Check the week, name the stray blocks, send the invoice. Nothing gets typed in twice.

What Stunda noticed
Written from your own week, every morningYour longest stretch
4h 25m unbroken on Wednesday, in VS Code. You did not have to remember any of it afterwards.
Your pace
3h 20m on Friday up to 5h 35m on Wednesday, averaging 4h 40m of tracked work a day. Stunda flags the weeks that stop looking sustainable.
Waiting on a client name
1h 35m across 2 blocks has no client attached. Assign them and the week is worth $134.58 more.

Every line came out of a tracked session, so the hours on the invoice are the hours you worked. No reconstructing the week from memory on a Friday evening.
Automatic time tracking that works while you work
Tracking, invoicing, privacy, and insights: one quiet system, and not a single timer to babysit.
Every feature, one pageThe timer you never have to start.
Open your laptop and start working. A 8.9 MB download captures app switches, active focus, and idle gaps in the background, with no timer to start.

You'll learn things about yourself.
When do you do your best work? Which projects eat your time? What does a 90-score day actually look like?
Wednesday: 5h 35m tracked, the longest day
Workspaces for real teams.
Invite members, assign projects, set roles. See who's working on what, without being weird about it.
Then ask it anything about your own week.
Stunda reads the timeline back to you in plain language, answers questions about it, and tells you when your pace stops looking sustainable. It is working from the week above, not from a survey.
How much did I work this week?
23h 20m tracked across 5 days, 21h 45m of it billable.
Wednesday was your longest at 5h 35m, Friday your shortest at 3h 20m.
That averages 4h 40m a day.

Ask me anything
On this page I only know one sample week, so I can answer the three questions below. In the app I read your own tracked time, answer whatever you ask about it, and draft a time entry for you to confirm when you ask me to log one.
Daily digest
Your tracked day, read back to you
A plain-language readout of the day: where the hours went, what stood out, and one concrete idea for tomorrow. It lands every morning, written from the timeline rather than from anything you typed.
Read my dayWorkload
Not enough historyBurnout signal, not a productivity score
Stunda watches pace over weeks, not days, and says so. Under about two weeks of history it declines to give you a reading at all, because a burnout signal drawn from four days is a guess with a number on it.
Keep tracking. This reading needs about two weeks to be honest.
Set up automatic time tracking in about 60 seconds
Up before your coffee gets cold. No config files, no integrations to wire up, no timers to remember.
What it measures, and how-
Download the app.
Mac or Windows. Sits in the menu bar or the tray and starts tracking the moment you log in.
About 30 seconds
-
Then just work.
No sessions to start. No projects to tag. Stunda watches app focus, detects idle time, and builds your timeline automatically.
Zero friction
-
Review, invoice, repeat.
End of the week: open the dashboard, see where your time went, drag tracked hours into an invoice, send it. That's the whole loop.

What is Stunda?
Stunda (stunda.io) is an AI-powered time tracking and invoicing app for freelancers and small teams. It runs quietly on macOS and Windows, automatically measuring how long you spend on each project and app, then turns that tracked time into professional, branded invoices in about 60 seconds. It is a productivity and billing tool, not a parking or study-hours app.
How is Stunda different from Toggl, Clockify, or Hubstaff?
Stunda tracks automatically instead of asking you to remember to start and stop timers, and it turns that time straight into branded invoices, so there is no export-to-a-separate-tool step. It is privacy-first: it records keystroke and click counts only, never their content, and screenshots are strictly opt-in. AI insights and a daily digest are built in rather than bolted on.
What platforms are supported?
macOS and Windows desktop apps for automatic tracking. The web dashboard works on any browser for reviewing sessions, managing projects, and sending invoices.
Is there a free plan?
Yes: free forever for solo users. You get unlimited history, automatic and manual tracking, basic reports, and a monthly cap on invoices. No credit card required.
Do I need the desktop app, or can I use the browser?
Automatic tracking needs the desktop app, because a browser can only measure the browser. The web dashboard handles reviewing sessions, projects, manual entries and invoicing, and the two share one account.
Comparing time trackers?
Honest side-by-side breakdowns against the tools people usually weigh Stunda against, plus a free invoice tool you can use without signing up.
- Toggl alternative Toggl records a timeline you copy up by hand. Ours is already the entry.
- Harvest alternative A free tier that is not a trial, and time it measured rather than time you remembered.
- Hubstaff alternative Counts, never content. Nothing here is metered by how much it watches.
- All ten comparisons Dated, sourced, and each one says what the other product does better.
- Free invoice generator Build a PDF invoice with live exchange rates. No account needed.
Still measuring, since the moment you opened this page
You've been here 2:40.
That's $3.78 unbilled.
That's how it slips away: a few quiet minutes at a time, on every project. Stunda catches them all day, silently, and turns them into invoices that send in four steps.
