What is Hourglass - Income Tracker?
- Track your time across all of your projects - Add independant tasks to manage varying hourly pay rates - Automatically calculates your income, including overtime - Export your data for record keeping - Simple and minimalistic UI for ease of use
Problem
Users manually track time and income across multiple projects using spreadsheets or basic time-tracking tools, leading to time-consuming calculations, inability to manage varying hourly rates per task, and lack of automatic overtime income calculation.
Solution
A time and income tracking tool that lets users track time across projects, assign tasks with different hourly rates, and automatically calculate total income (including overtime). Examples: freelancers can log hours for client A ($30/h) and client B ($45/h) in one dashboard.
Customers

Unique Features
Handles independent tasks with customizable hourly rates and auto-adjusts income calculations for overtime, unlike standard time trackers that assume fixed rates per project.
