Toggl Track

It's very easy to use, and the FREE version is all I need. I have a little app that runs on my computer that even reminds me to track my time if I'm not timing. I get really wrapped up in what I do, so it's easy for me to spend way longer than I anticipated on things. Being a solo entrepreneur, it was critical early on when I was trying to figure out how long things actually took me to do. I don't think I'd have been able to develop a clear enough pricing strategy for projects because I literally had no idea how long it took me.

The Windows app does undergo changes every now and then, so it gets a little glitchy. Right now, I can't hide the timer away like I used to be able to. I'm sure that'll be fixed by next updated but in the meantime it's only a minor annoyance for the benefit of the program. Which again, is FREE.

I am a book editor, and I use Toggl Track to keep track of the time I put in for each stage of a project - the tags are great for that!

I would love a report that gives total time per project and then per tag for each project, without regard to week or date at all. If projects run more than a week, I often have to gather and add up those numbers myself. As a freelancer, the dates/weeks don't matter to me at all.

It seemed to work well covering both desktop and online so making it easy for the team to track time and be sure they were tracking time.

The tagging or ability to split the time tracked across multiple clients. It became a bit messy when we were trying to link it to Salesforce opportunities and high volume of clients.
