  • Still to build: Reminders when you haven’t entered hours yet
  • Still to build: Self-employment: counter for the Dutch hours criterion (1,225 hours) and a warning if you work too much for one client (risk of false self-employment)
  • Still to build: Timer, also in the menu bar
  • Still to build: First launch, and choosing colour themes
  • Still to build: Feedback & suggestions in the app, plus the manual and release notes on declaruur.nl
  • Still to build: WhatsApp button, only after purchase

Releasing

  • Still to build: iPhone and iPad version, portrait and landscape (I expect the first iPhone prototype in mid-November)
  • Still to build: Preparing for the App Store: reviewing the data model, moving iCloud to production, securing the rights to icon, logo and images, and checking Apple’s rules

After the first release

Later

  • After the first release: Compressing photos, including existing photos
  • After the first release: An iCloud storage chart in iCloud status
  • After the first release: Recommending TallyHour: sharing with an image and QR code, and Apple’s review prompt
  • After the first release: The foldable iPhone
  • After the first release: Polish and Bulgarian versions
  • After the first release: Possibly an Android version
  • After the first release: As a separate project: voice, with dictation in text fields and voice notes you can share

This is a plan, not a promise: order and timing can change.

Missing something, or want something sooner?
Let me know, I read everything.

TallyHour coming soon

Time tracking for freelancers in the Netherlands. Keep track of your hours, expenses and mileage for each client and create a neat timesheet in a few taps, ready to email or print.

Always in sync, everywhere

Enter hours on site with your iPhone, get them signed off on your iPad and create the timesheet on your Mac. Everything syncs automatically through your own iCloud.

No signal for a moment? No problem: TallyHour simply works offline and syncs automatically as soon as you’re connected again.

Pay once, no subscription

Try it free for 15 days. After that you pay €19.95 (incl. VAT) once for all your devices: iPhone, iPad and Mac. Updates and support included.

Time tracking the way you work

  • Start and stop the timer, also from your Mac’s menu bar
  • Enter hours manually, with rounding and breaks
  • Up to 25 active clients, each with their own hourly rate
  • Projects and jobs per client
  • Mileage tracking, and reminders when you haven’t entered your hours yet

Expenses and receipts

  • Add recurring expenses with a single tap
  • Scan receipts: the date and amount are filled in for you
  • Receipts attached to your timesheet
  • Attach photos to your job, for example of the before and after

Timesheets in your own style

  • With your own logo, business name and website
  • Any period, per client
  • Email, save as PDF or print with AirPrint
  • Digital sign-off by your client
  • Three themes for the app and your timesheets

Made for freelancers in the Netherlands

  • Counter for the Dutch hours criterion (1,225 hours)
  • Warning signs for false self-employment: number of clients, share of revenue and duration
  • VAT: 21%, 9%, reverse charge, KOR or exempt
  • No-nonsense, with lots of smart touches built in

Your data stays yours

Everything is stored on your own devices and in your own iCloud; we can’t access it. Export everything as CSV or PDF, even years later.

Your opinion counts

Missing something or have an idea? Use the Feedback & suggestions button in the app. The developer reads everything.

This is just a selection of the features. There are too many to list, and updates will keep coming with handy new smart touches and bug fixes.

What’s still coming is on the roadmap.

TallyHour does not give tax or legal advice; the information on the hours criterion, false self-employment and VAT is indicative.

For now, the app is in Dutch. English is also being considered: leave your email address and we’ll keep you posted.

Contact

A question, an idea or something that isn’t working? Send a message using the contact form; you can add an attachment, such as a screenshot. Already using the app? Then you can also use Feedback & suggesties (feedback & suggestions). And yes, you’ll really get a reply. Always. No robot, no ticket number, no “your call is important to us”. Just me, usually with a cup of coffee. Feel free to leave your phone number: then I’ll call you first, without any obligation.
