Tallyman.Start free

Billing software for people who’d rather be coding

Track the hours.
Skip the spreadsheet.

Tallyman clocks your billable time in the background and turns it into an invoice your clients actually pay on time — usually within 6.4 days, not 45.

What’s inside

Four parts, no bloat.

01

Idle-aware time tracking

A menu-bar timer that notices when you stop typing and asks whether to trim the gap, so you never bill for the 11 minutes you spent staring at the ceiling.

02

Line-item invoicing

Group tracked hours by client, project, or arbitrary tag, then generate a PDF with your own rate rules baked in.

03

Client approval portal

Clients see a read-only summary before you send the bill, so disputes happen before the invoice, not after.

04

Export everything

CSV for your accountant, JSON for your own reports, and a plain-text ledger you can grep at 2am if you have to.

Used by people who
bill by the hour.

I stopped rebuilding the same spreadsheet every month. My average time-to-paid dropped from 34 days to 9.

The idle detection alone paid for a year of the subscription in the first invoice cycle — turns out I was eating about 6 unbilled hours a week.

My clients like the approval portal more than I do. Nobody argues about the bill anymore because they saw it coming.
