Clockify is free and capable — and built for teams, with an account and your time data in the cloud. TimeTrack is the single-file, single-user opposite: open one web page, hit the timer, and your hours stay on your computer. No login, nothing uploaded.
Clockify is a popular free time tracker, and for teams its free tier is remarkably generous. But it is a cloud product: you create an account, your entries sync to their servers, and the interface is shaped around teams, projects and shared reporting.
TimeTrack is deliberately one freelancer, one file. It runs entirely in your browser with zero network requests, so there is no login and nothing leaves your machine. Start the one-click timer (it survives a reload), tag each block billable or non-billable with its own rate, and watch your utilization and true effective hourly rate. At the end of the week, export an invoice-ready CSV. Pay $12 once for Pro and own it.
