TallyHo makes time tracking and invoicing painless — helping freelancers get paid, faster.
No bloat, no learning curve, just the essentials: track time, see what's ready to invoice, generate timesheets, and get insights that make you more profitable.
Add time entries quickly with minimal friction through a simple form or an innovative command prompt interface that accepts natural language input.
Easily manage your clients, projects, and project phases in a hierarchical structure that keeps your work organized.
Three-tier rate system: set rates at user, client, or project level with automatic fallback to ensure the most specific rate is always applied.
Track time with a simple keystroke (Ctrl+.) and natural language commands like "1.5h Apple Website Redesign" — no menu diving or complex forms.
Built to include only essential features that freelancers actually use, avoiding the feature bloat that slows down other tools.
Generate professional invoices from tracked time with organized timesheet formats and easy invoice management to track billing status.
No steep learning curves. No hidden complexity. No existential dread when it's time to invoice. Just ridiculously simple time tracking that gets out of your way and lets you do your thing.
Use TallyHo's simple timer to track as you work, or add time entries manually. Categorize by client, project, and task with custom tags that make sense for your workflow.
Turn your tracked time into professional invoices with a single click. Customize rates, add line items, and apply taxes. Send directly via email or download as PDF.
Review your work patterns with visual dashboards. See which clients, projects, and tasks are most profitable. Get reports for tax time with zero stress.
TallyHo is the brainchild of Steve Leggat, a freelancer of over 25 years. The journey began in 1995 at Styrofirm with a homemade time logging system, and after years of frustration with clunky tools, TallyHo was born — designed from the ground up to support the way real freelancers work.
Now, it's being rewritten as a polished, focused app for the freelancers of the world.

Designed specifically for contractors, creatives, and consultants — not teams or agencies.
Complements Hnry, Xero, or whatever invoicing system you already use and love.
Organizes your work data so it's ready to transfer when it's time to invoice.
Most freelancers undercharge because they can't remember all the work they did. TallyHo makes tracking so simple there's no excuse not to do it.
I'm planning to launch the beta in Q3 2025. Sign up for the newsletter to be among the first to get access.
No, TallyHo doesn't create invoices directly but organizes your tracked work data for easy transfer to invoicing apps like Hnry. TallyHo fills the crucial gap between completing your work and getting paid.
TallyHo is built for freelancers, contractors and sole traders — not teams. It's designed for those already using accounting tools like Hnry or Xero. TallyHo tracks your time, reminds you when it's time to invoice, and prepares and itemises your work so it's ready to go.
I created TallyHo five years ago to make time tracking effortless with zero friction. I'd tried various notetaking apps, desktop and phone apps, even spreadsheets — but nothing quite fit. Now I'm fully rewriting TallyHo with a 'simple by design' philosophy focused purely on effortless time tracking — for freelancers like you.
