Harvest TotalCtrl Time Tracking

If you use Harvest, you'll love TotalCtrl.

Track billable time, approve it, bill it — and see what it earned.

Harvest tracks time and exports it for someone else to invoice. TotalCtrl's Time Tracking turns logged hours into invoices in the built-in Accounting app, against the very project and client they were logged to.

Time Tracking, included in every plan

Timers & Manual Entry
Start/stop a live timer or log hours manually on the web, and run timers on the go from the TotalCtrl mobile app. Every entry is tied to a project and, optionally, a task or issue.
Rate Precedence
Bill rates resolve most-specific-first: a person's rate on a project beats the project default, which beats the member default, which beats the workspace default. Set it once, override only where needed.
Approval → Lock
People submit a week; approvers accept or return it with a reason. Approved entries lock so they can't be edited — a clean, auditable record of billable work.
Project Billing & Budgets
Mark projects billable, set rates and a per-project currency, and track budget burn with alerts at 75%, 90%, and 100% of budget.
Invoice Approved Time
Push approved, billable hours into a draft invoice in Accounting in one click. A double-bill guard ensures the same time is never invoiced twice.
Timers on Issues
Opt any Issue Tracker project into time tracking and your team can start a timer or log hours right on an issue — rolling up to the billing project automatically.
Project P&L
Cost rates are recorded on every entry the moment it is logged, so re-rating somebody today never rewrites last quarter's margin. Revenue is reported twice — earned and invoiced — because the gap between them is the money you are leaking.
Financial Control
A weekly review of missing timesheets, approvals nobody actioned, billable work still unbilled, budgets quietly passed, and projects running thin. It is arithmetic over your own rows, not an AI guess — and when the cost of some hours is unknown it says so instead of reporting a margin nobody can stand behind.
