How Tempo works

Track → Invoice → Get paid.
That simple.

Time tracking

Start a timer in one click. Never lose a minute again.

Tempo's one-click timers stay out of your way. Track by project and client, switch tasks without breaking flow, and see your running total in real time. When you check in at the end of the day, every minute is exactly where it should be.

Invoice generation

One click turns your tracked hours into a polished invoice.

Your time log becomes a professional PDF invoice in seconds — your branding, your rates, your terms. Send it from Tempo, get paid via Stripe or bank transfer, and mark it settled when the money lands. No copy-pasting between tabs.

Why Tempo

Other tools were built for teams.
Tempo was built for you.

Harvest, Toggl, Clockify — all powerful. All designed for operations managers in 50-person companies. Tempo is different: everything from pricing to interface to feature set was decided with the solo freelancer in mind.

"I used to lose $200–$400 a month to unbilled hours. With Tempo, I've had zero missed invoices in six months — and I raised my rates because I finally had the data to back it up."
