HoneyBooks
Time tracking · Invoicing
A personal time-tracking and invoicing app for freelancers and sole traders. Local-first. No accounts, no subscriptions, no data leaving your device.
Works in any browser · installable as a PWA · macOS 11+ · Android 8+
Updating an earlier Android install? Uninstall the old HoneyBooks first — the app's package name has changed and Android treats it as a separate install. Back up via Google Drive sync first if you haven't already.
At-a-glance statistics
Dashboard with payment pipeline, top clients, and invoiced-vs-last-year charts. See where your business stands instantly.
Time tracking
Log entries manually, tagged by client and project. Per-client default descriptions keep entry fast.
Mileage
Log journeys with the HMRC simplified-expenses rate baked in. Included on invoices alongside time and expenses.
Invoicing
Generate branded invoices from unbilled time, mileage, and chargeable items. Full status tracking from draft to paid.
Email from Gmail
Send invoices directly from your own Gmail account. Signature, banking details, and line items all included.
Reports
Financial-year reporting for income, billing, invoices, and tax-period summaries. Print or export to CSV.
Your data, your device
Everything lives on your machine. Optional Google Drive backup and sync — to your own private app-scoped folder.
Local-first, by design
HoneyBooks stores everything on your device — there's no backend server and no account. Nothing to sign up for, nothing uploaded. In the browser, your data lives in this browser's local storage and can be lost if you clear site data. Connect Google to back up to a private, app-scoped folder in your own Drive — recommended for the web app.
