HoneyBooks

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.

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.
