…it's not for everyone
Built exclusively for freelancers, contractors and sole traders ⎯ not teams.
Built by a Freelancer
Drawing on 25 years of graphic design and web development experience, I built TallyHo to solve my own time tracking frustrations as a sole trader.

Generate formatted timesheets and paste directly into Hnry's invoice line items. Multiple templates to suit your style. See how it works.

Priced for Sole Traders
Free forever for up to 5 clients. Pro is just ~$7.50 AUD/month* - no enterprise pricing designed for Silicon Valley budgets.
Simple Client & Project Structure
Easily manage your clients, projects, and project phases in a hierarchical structure that keeps your work organised.
Three-Tier Hourly Rate System
Set hourly rates at user, client, or project level with automatic fallback to ensure the most specific rate is always applied.
Invoice-Ready Timesheets
Generate professional timesheets in multiple formats. Track what's been invoiced and what's still billable.
Designed for the Hnry Workflow
Hnry has transformed how thousands of Australian sole traders handle their tax. I built TallyHo to match that simplicity. Track time, generate timesheet, paste into Hnry. Done.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is TallyHo available in Australia?
Absolutely. While I'm based in Auckland, New Zealand, TallyHo is used by sole traders across Australia. Set your hourly rates in AUD, track your time, and generate timesheets - it works exactly like any local app.
Does TallyHo integrate with Hnry?
While we don't have a native integration yet, TallyHo generates formatted timesheets you can copy and paste directly into Hnry's invoice line items. Takes about 30 seconds. See our complete guide.
Does TallyHo work with Australian accounting software?
TallyHo generates timesheets you can use with any invoicing or accounting tool. It works great alongside Xero, MYOB, or Hnry. Export your timesheet, paste it into your invoice, and you're done.
Can I track time in AUD?
Yes! You can set your hourly rates in any currency including AUD. Timesheets display your chosen currency. Rates are stored as base amounts - you add GST when invoicing if you're registered.
Does TallyHo help with my BAS?
TallyHo tracks your time and calculates billable totals based on your hourly rate. It doesn't lodge your BAS directly - that's what Hnry is for - but it gives you accurate billable hour records so invoicing and reporting are a breeze.
