Harvest
About Harvest
Harvest is an online time and expense tracking tool for teams and projects of all sizes. Harvest harnesses the power of time tracking to help users answer critical questions about their team's time, project progress, and the health of the business. Plus, it turns billable time into invoices that make it easy to get paid online. Businesses can use Harvest to carry out time tracking, expense tracking, project management, billable hours tracking, task assignment, invoicing, scheduling, and more.
One of the biggest challenges with tracking time is getting team members to do it. The Harvest app - available for Mac, Windows, iPhone, and Android, makes time tracking easy for teams by letting them track time in the way that's easiest for them. Users can track time as they work by starting a timer from their desktop, phone, or browser or enter hours all at once, after they're done. Harvest even integrates with third party tools including Asana, Basecamp, and Trello.
Harvest also helps businesses put that timesheet data to work by turning it into intuitive, visual graphs that provide insight into teams and projects. Managers can see what each team member has worked on and what's taking up the most time. See project cost, how much time has been tracked to each project, how much budget is left, and how many billable hours have been worked. And when it's time to invoice clients, Harvest allows users to create an invoice right from the tracked time within the application. Email this data to each client and get paid online with the help of PayPal and Stripe integrations.

A great time tracking/invoicing platform for people new to freelancing – or seasoned pros.

I've been using Harvest for well over a decade now, and I have no plans to switch. It's been with me through my first steps testing the waters of freelancing to going freelance full time. I make heavy use of the macOS app, which makes it easy for me to track my time throughout the day. And I rely on its invoicing and reporting features to get paid quickly and easily. What's not to love?
Pros
Harvest is easy to use, streamlined, with just the features I need and none of the features I don't. I primarily use it for time tracking and invoicing for my freelance business. There are enough configuration options for me to customize my time tracker and invoices for every client, and it takes just a minute or two to set up clients and send invoices.
Cons
Recently I've moved toward a monthly invoicing cycle, and there is no way for Harvest to automatically generate an invoice on the first of the month for all of the time tracked in the previous month. It's a small annoyance to make/send the invoice myself but a little more automation here would be welcome.

It provided a platform for time entry, but due to the lack of user buy in, I don't think it provided accurate time entry.
Pros
Harvest was able to produce reporting that we could use for capturing capitalizable time and it was easy to update cost rates.
Cons
Time entry was difficult to do quickly, due to difficulties selecting the correct projects, etc. The reporting was outdated (the file would be sent to your email; you weren't able to just download the file at the time of export). It was difficult to identify the role of the various users without clicking into their profile.

Overall it's been a good experience. I've been using it for the past 1 1/2 years to manage my own time and also track project time for clients.
Pros
I like that it's fairly intuitive. The user interface is clean and friendly. It integrates well with Google Chrome. I find it easy to set up projects and track time.
Cons
I wish on an individual time card you could see what time (clock time) was logged instead of total time. I.e. see that 10 minutes was logged from 9:00-9:10 instead of just 10 minutes total.
Response from Harvest
Thanks for your kind words and the feedback! I've recorded your request for timestamps when tracking via Duration.
