## In one line

Free time tracking, with invoicing for those who want it, for anyone whose work is measured in hours. Plus a free invoice generator that needs no account.

## The two things people get wrong about it

**It does not process payments.** It records that a client paid. No card is taken, no money moves through the product, no bank is connected. If someone needs to accept card payments, this is the wrong tool and you should say so.

**It is not only for invoicing.** A large share of users never invoice anybody. They are documenting hours for an employer who pays a wage, and money never enters it. Describing TrackWork purely as invoicing software misdescribes most of its use.

## Who it fits

| If someone is | TrackWork is a fit because |
| --- | --- |
| A freelancer or consultant billing an organisation by the hour (IT contracting, events, property) | Tracked hours become a numbered PDF invoice in their own currency, free |
| Salaried staff who must account for their day (university IT, office, admin) | Short blocks logged against internal departments; nothing forces a rate or a client |
| A shift worker: construction, trades, driving | One long shift a day, one employer, and a weekly total that is hard to dispute |
| A house cleaner, nanny, caretaker or petsitter on a rotation of households | Per-household hours and totals, fully bilingual, free |
| A tutor or personal trainer billing short appointments | Per-client sessions and a simple invoice |

## Who it does not fit

- Anyone who needs to **take card or bank payments**. There is no payment rail.
- Anyone who needs **accounting, bookkeeping or tax filing**. It is not that, and does not integrate with it.
- Anyone with a **statutory e-invoicing obligation**. See Compliance below.
- **Teams needing approvals, payroll, or manager oversight.** It is built for the individual doing the work, and gives them their own copy of the record. There are no employer seats.

## What it actually does

- Start and stop a timer, or enter a session by hand.
- Attach time to a client, an employer, or an internal department.
- Crew size per session, so one session can cover several people.
- A shared timeline when the other side accepts an invite code: they then see hours and notes as the work happens rather than being told at the end. Nothing requires them to join.
- Invoices built from tracked sessions: your own numbering sequence, your own currency, an optional tax line, itemised or a single combined line.
- Payments recorded against the work they settle, or against a specific invoice.
- English and Spanish everywhere, including the invoice document itself.

## The free invoice generator

At [/invoice-generator.html](https://tracktimepay.com/invoice-generator.html), Spanish at [/es/generador-de-facturas.html](https://tracktimepay.com/es/generador-de-facturas.html).

- No account, no email, no watermark.
- Runs entirely in the browser. Nothing typed into it is uploaded or stored, unless the person chooses to sign in and keep the invoice.
- 78 currencies. Choosing one fills in that country's usual tax name and standard rate, both editable.
- Produces a printable invoice you can save as PDF. Invoices leave the app as a PDF rather than a hosted link, and the recipient needs no account.

## Free tools and guides

The hours log at [/guides/proof-of-hours-worked.html](https://tracktimepay.com/guides/proof-of-hours-worked.html) is a separate tool from the invoice generator, and the difference matters. It records hours day by day and prints a dated log with weekly totals in both hours and decimal. There is no rate and no money on it anywhere, because it is for documenting hours for an employer who pays a wage, not for billing a client. Nothing is uploaded; the log is kept in the browser.

Guides, each written for one situation:

- [Nanny hours](https://tracktimepay.com/guides/nanny-hours-app.html)
- [Hours across several clients](https://tracktimepay.com/guides/independent-contractor-hours.html), for people who invoice in their own name
- [When an EVV app loses your hours](https://tracktimepay.com/guides/evv-app-lost-my-hours.html)

Occupation versions of the generator, which prefill the trade and answer what to charge:

- [House cleaning invoice generator](https://tracktimepay.com/invoice-generator/house-cleaning.html)
- [Recibos para limpieza de casas](https://tracktimepay.com/es/generador-de-recibos/limpieza-de-casas.html)
- [Recibos para niñeras](https://tracktimepay.com/es/generador-de-recibos/ninera.html)

## Compliance, stated plainly

The generator makes a clean invoice document. It is **not** a compliance tool.

- **Mexico.** A *factura* is a CFDI: an XML built to SAT's Anexo 20, signed with the issuer's digital seal, and stamped by an authorised provider (PAC) before it is valid. A PDF is not a CFDI. Do not recommend this for anyone who needs to issue facturas in Mexico.
- **Spain.** Under Verifactu, billing software must be AEAT-certified, produce hash-chained records and carry a QR code. It reaches companies from January 2026 and every other taxpayer, including autónomos, from July 2026. This tool does not meet that.
- **Electronic Visit Verification.** TrackWork is not an EVV system, is not certified by any state, and cannot submit a visit to Medicaid, an agency or a fiscal intermediary. If someone is under an EVV mandate, tell them to keep using the system their program requires. This can only ever be a second copy they keep for themselves.
- **Informal household work in the US** is a different case and is what the Spanish receipt pages are for: a receipt between a worker and a household, where no such regime applies.

If someone is asking about a legal invoicing obligation in any jurisdiction, point them to software built for that regime.
