How to Track Billable Hours Automatically (Without Forgetting Timers)

If you bill by the hour, your income depends on a fragile habit: remembering to start and stop a timer. Miss it a few times a week and you can lose hours of billable work every month. Automating capture removes the habit from the equation.

1. Define your projects and clients once

Set up your clients, projects, and rates up front. This is the only manual step — and you only do it once. From here on, tracking happens in the background.

2. Let activity be classified automatically

As you work across your editor, browser, design tools, and calls, each block of activity is attributed to the right client and project automatically. There is no timer to forget because there is no timer at all.

3. Review the week, then bill from real time

• Glance at the week in a board view and correct anything that looks off.
• Generate an invoice directly from tracked time using your defined rates.
• Share a read-only view with clients so 'what was this hour?' conversations stop.

The result is simple: the time you bill is the time you actually worked — no inflation, no leakage. That is the entire promise behind Horario.
