would run on a locked-down PC.
I built it. Then freelancers
started asking for copies.

Everything you need to track, bill, and get paid.

One app. No subscriptions. Your data stays on your machine.

Task & Project Management

Organize work by client, project, and task. Drag-and-drop to regroup. Archive completed work without losing history.

Tasks tab showing project hierarchy and task list

One-Click Timer

Start, pause, resume. Configurable rounding (1/6/15/30 min). Auto-pauses after inactivity — no more billing a 10-hour day because you forgot to stop it.

Tracker tab with running timer and time entries

Billing & Invoicing

Review billable hours by client. Override amounts, apply rates, generate PDF invoices. Export to Excel or CSV. Send invoices straight from the app.

Billing tab with invoice-ready time entries

Analytics & Reporting

No Data Collection

Your data never leaves your machine.

AetherTime stores everything in a local SQLite database. No cloud, no telemetry, no analytics SDKs, no accounts. The only network request is an optional manual update check.
