We put this list of construction time tracking software together because we keep seeing the same “What’s the best construction time tracking software?” question come up. A lot of the comparison articles we found were either outdated or didn’t really explain who each tool is best for. We know every company works differently, so feel free to poke holes in our picks.

P.S. We didn’t try to crown one overall winner because the right choice depends on your team, your projects, and your workflow.

• Jibble if you need time tracking and attendance without a large software budget.
• Procore if project management is your biggest priority.
• Monday.com if your team prefers boards and workflow automation.
• Workyard if compliance and field tracking matter most.
• Timeero if mileage tracking is essential.
• FieldPulse if dispatching and invoicing are part of your daily workflow.
• Buildertrend if client collaboration is a major part of your projects.

Let us know if we missed something, if there’s another tool you’d add, or if you’d rank these differently based on your experience in the field.

Hey r/ProductivityApps,

I've been a freelancer/contractor for a while and my workflow was always duct-taped together -- one app for task management, another for time tracking, a spreadsheet for invoicing. When the time tracker I relied on started having extended downtime and stopped meeting my needs, I decided to lock-in for a few months and just build what I actually wanted.

TriggerFlo is the result. It's a Desktop (macOS, Windows, Linux), Mobile (iOS, Android), and Web app that combines:

• Time tracking with a floating timer -- sits on top of your other windows so you never forget to track. Comes in various styles, including a docked "notch" style.
• Kanban-style task management -- projects with customizable columns, due dates, priorities, recurring tasks, subtasks, and a rich text editor for notes.
• Invoicing from your tracked time -- select a date range, and it generates a professional invoice from your sessions. No more copy-pasting hours into spreadsheets or invoice tools.
• Reports & analytics -- see where your time actually goes with charts, CSV exports, and session tracking.
• Spotify integration -- link playlists or tracks to tasks so your focus music starts automatically when you begin a session.
• Google Calendar sync -- pull in calendar events as tasks or (soon) push due dates to your calendar.
• Team collaboration -- share projects, assign roles (owner/admin/member/viewer), and invite teammates by email.
• Public Boards -- Let clients or stakeholders see progress in real time with public boards.
• Surprising features -- Many features that would make this post too long.

It's free to use (up to 3 projects, time tracking, kanban, reports all included). A trial and/or Pro unlocks unlimited projects, invoicing, team features, public boards, Google Calendar and Spotify integrations, and larger file uploads — $4.99/mo, $59.99/year, or $69.99 lifetime. Currently in beta so I'm actively looking for feedback.

I'd love to hear what you think, what's missing, or what would make you actually switch from your current setup. Happy to answer any questions.

Hello everyone!
Happy to let you guys know that one of my favorite topic of Time Tracking. We carry a powerful computer in out pockets, yet we don't fully utilize it effectively. I saw the Time Tracking issue where for each task one has to Start/Stop the clock for each task so they can bill their clients properly... why? why start/stop for each task is the question that was raised to me. I've spent a lot of time building great things over the years, why not try and tackle this? So here is TrackTime.com - This Android app (Side loaded) when given the permissions, will automatically track time for calls, SMS, email(gmail/outlook) and prompt you to ask is this billable? I really hope this app reduces the friction for you at work if you bill your clients for your time.

I made a little Mac menu bar app that gives you a time perspective right from the menu bar. I launched it on Product Hunt, and it turned out that 935 other products were launched alongside it.

I don’t have a huge audience to get upvotes, but I do have lots of Reddit karma. 😄

Have a look at https://timegauge.minilabs.cc/, and please reach out if you have any questions. There is a support page as well!

Here’s a 50% off coupon: PH50P

The app uses Apple Sandbox, is developer-signed and notarized by Apple, and doesn’t collect any data. It’s just a timer progress bar.

The app is currently pending review on the Mac App Store.
The discount code won’t work there, it only works with Polar.sh checkout.

Hi all, I wanted to share with you these macOS timer apps that feature Apple Shortcuts and automation support:

• Timix
  • Pros: Exceptional for complex automation; supports chaining sequential timers together seamlessly. Offers 15 customizable triggers (including text-to-speech and HomeKit smart home control) and allows you to run custom Shortcuts exactly when a timer starts or finishes.
• Time Out (Break Reminders)
  • Pros: The gold standard for health and posture breaks. It automatically tracks natural "away from keyboard" time to reset timers intelligently, supports strict break compliance, and runs robust background scripts (AppleScript/Automator) during your rest windows.
• Cadence (Focus Timers)
  • Pros: Ideal for a minimalist, distraction-free Pomodoro workflow. It features a clean, "local-first" privacy design, elegant Zen themes, and straightforward native system shortcuts to launch your standard focus and rest intervals with a single tap or hotkey.
• Just Timers
  • Pros: Built from the ground up for deep, native Apple Shortcuts integration. It offers extensive parameter-based Shortcut actions (allowing you to programmatically create, start, pause, and query timers), robust multi-timer support, and highly functional widgets that display active countdowns perfectly.

Please add to the list if you know more!
