Beautifully Simple Time Tracking for Freelancers | TallyHo

# TallyHo - Beautifully Simple Time Tracking for Freelancers > TallyHo is a modern, beautifully simple time tracking and project management application built specifically for freelancers, solo contractors, and agencies who need precise time tracking with seamless client and project organisation. ## The Story Behind TallyHo TallyHo was created by Steve Leggat, a freelancer with 25 years of experience in the field. After decades of struggling with complex, team-focused time tracking solutions that didn't fit the freelance workflow, Steve built TallyHo as a personal solution. What started as a tool for his own freelance work has evolved into a polished application designed to solve the real problems that solo freelancers face daily. TallyHo is very much a one-person operation, built by someone who understands the freelance experience intimately. Steve continues to use TallyHo daily for his own work, ensuring the tool evolves to meet real-world freelance needs rather than hypothetical business requirements. ## Core Philosophy **"You've got invoicing sorted. Now sort out everything that happens before that."** TallyHo fills the crucial gap between finishing your work and sending invoices. Most freelancers have their invoicing sorted — whether it's Hnry, Xero, or whatever works for them. But they struggle with the step that comes before: tracking what work they've actually done. TallyHo makes time tracking so effortless that you'll never again scramble to remember hours when it's time to invoice. ## Key Design Goals - **Effortless**: No complex setup or learning curve - start tracking immediately - **Insightful**: Understand which clients and projects are actually profitable - **Compatible**: Works with whatever invoicing system you already use - **Focused**: Built specifically for solo freelancers, not teams or enterprise - **Intuitive**: Natural language entry and smart organisation - **Reliable**: Built by someone who depends on it daily ## Core Features
