HourBill is time and expense billing software reinvented for speed and efficiency. It's all about workflow.

Here is what HourBill gives you:

• free remote backups going back in time. Every backup remains available as a Restorable snapshot. (Unlimited in the Unlocked version.)

• direct input of times on app startup: tap Enter, and you're done. This is like a timer on steroids: you can change the start or end time immediately if you choose; you don't have to enter the time at all if the time is now.

• create Phrases that are stored in the app and can be reused to reduce or eliminate the need to type notes for entries or accounts/invoices. (The free version is restricted to 5 Phrases in each category.)

• an Undo/Redo system for data entered into an account, invoice or entry screen.

• generate invoices corresponding to billing periods, either on demand, or automatically in the background on a monthly, bimonthly, biweekly or weekly basis on a day of your choosing.

• a calendar view which lets you inspect and edit the entries for any given day, in the Unlocked (paid) version.

• email a report of any account or invoice, the entries for a day, or the entire contents of the app, to an address from your Contacts, in html or CSV for export to other apps such as Numbers or Excel. (The calendar and CSV capabilities are restricted to the Unlocked version.)

• the contents of an account or invoice, the entries for a day (in the Unlocked version,) or the entire contents of the app, may also be printed out.

• express hours worked in a variety of time formats and minimum time increments, ranging from military time to the half hour, independently for each account.

• if you're entering an expense, tap the Mode switch to expenses if you're not already there, and tap in the amount.

• switch accounts or create a new account with a tap and a swipe as soon as you start the app.

• start or end a time block with one tap, which makes taking breaks off the clock easy.

• transition from one job to the next with just a couple of taps.

• enter or express entries in terms of start and end times, or in terms of hours worked, or as an expense, independently for each account or entry.

• multiple rounding options in the Unlocked version.

• automatic flagging of accounts for the presence of incomplete entries.

• all aspects of an entry are editable at any time after it's created.

• a PIN option in the Unlocked version.

• back up at the touch of a button, or set the app to back up your current data
automatically whenever the app is started. The best backup system is the one you use.

• restore all of your data from any of your backups at the touch of a button. Tap and you're there! It doesn't get any easier.

• transfer backup files between devices with HourBill installed, restoring one device from the backup file created on another.

i'm a remodeling contractor and this is the first app of this type i've used, other than accounting software on the office computer. easy to get used to. would like to sub-divide time blocks within the same account. saves paper, as in time sheets, etc. great on-the-go record keeper.


Great For Multiple Client Billable Hours!
Lightgirl33

OMG! I love this app! I juggle multiple clients daily, and each encounter requires a note. Some of the notes are long and detailed. This app does it all. I used the free version for several months, and just upgraded to the paid version because it allows more active clients. I would recommend this app to anyone doing community based medical services, like home health or community based mental health, as well as legal. Really anyone doing billable hour work in the medical or legal field, because you can include a case note with each client encounter. Amazing App!


Great App!
Marshal_Tex

This app is very good! It helps me a lot with keep up with time. Not hard to use at all. It is quick and easy to learn.


Best billing app
merylkent

I've used several apps like this and this one is the best of them. Although most work similarly on the face of things (tap to sign in and out, set pay rates, notes etc), this is not only simple, it has the best export of info I've ever seen. Usable as an invoice if you want, just as it appears, or can be edited easily to show just the detail you want. Great help menus everywhere if you forget something and instant email support from developer. Simple UI, no extra bells/whistles for no reason. Note to the reviewer who wanted to sub-divide accounts by billing period- that feature is available in paid version and is called "spawn." Easy to figure out but developers are also responsive and willing to teach. Great app!!

I tried out many variations of this type of app. This one is perfect, when it comes to logging time and pay. It's simple. My only problem is job expenses I need to use another app. I emailed the company, they got back to me quickly and promised they were working on it. 5 star for what it is. Simple precise log of your time.


Some quirks but love it!
A.Scherer

I love how I can keep all my clients accounts organized with a job description and pay rate. My clients are really impressed that I can invoice them and email it as I am speaking to them. I also use it for my personal use; keeping track of my free time. I am glad that I upgraded, my sanity thanks you!!


Good app, great customer service
No nickname25

The app works well. It does what it says it's going to do. The reason I wanted to write a review is because I just had an interaction with their customer service that deserves recognition. I got a new phone over the weekend and when I transferred my apps, all my historical billing disappeared. Yikes!! I realized I could easily restore it from the hourbill server, but because I had changed my apple ID when I got my new phone, something wasn't clicking and the program didn't realize I had already upgraded my hourbill software ... I emailed the support folks and got a response within 30 minutes asking for more details of the situation. I replied and got a follow-up email within an hour. Problem completely resolved. For a $5 app, I was seriously impressed. (Only 4 stars because the app isn't always intuitive...but it works after you figure it out.)


Awesome app
chispas303

I tried a few other free apps available for keeping track of hours worked with each client but found the interface lacking. It app was jut the opposite. It allows you to quickly log hours, change pay rates and add notes to each session. This app has everything I was looking for and more. I don't use the export / invoice feature but it looks pretty slick. I plan to upgrade soon (even though I do not plan to track more than two clients, the developers deserve it).


I love it
Spydaman180

Been using it for a year and I really enjoy it worked great always. Would be nice if there was an expense and print key


love this HourBill App
olgramps

I'm using this app to keep track of my hours at several volunteer stations. Works great for this purpose. Developer is very responsive to suggestions and questions.
