iTimeSheet Studio covers everything a solo freelancer or independent consultant needed from Harvest β time entries, expenses with receipt photos, PDF invoices with your logo, quotes, credit notes β at a flat $9.99 / mo with no per-invoice, per-project, or per-client charges. No account. No cloud. Your data stays on your iPhone.
Following its acquisition, Harvest layered per-invoice, per-project, and per-client surcharges on top of its per-seat fee. Solo freelancers and small consultancies β who had steady, predictable billing β saw renewal invoices jump several times overnight. If you are one of them, here is what iTimeSheet Studio offers instead.

iTimeSheet is designed for solo freelancers and independent consultants. It is not a team tool.
PDF invoices with your logo and company header. Quotes with one-tap conversion. Deposit invoices (acomptes). Credit notes. Per-country legal mentions for FR, DE, ES, US, JP. Payment details (IBAN/BIC or routing/account) on every invoice.
All your invoices in one tab. Pending amounts per client at a glance. One-tap generation from logged time. Filterable history: Draft, Unpaid, Paid, Overdue. Mark paid, send overdue reminders, track everything without a browser.
Everything lives in a local SQLite database. No vendor server holds your clients, rates, or invoices. Backup is iCloud Drive β your own iCloud, not ours. Visible in Files.app. Export to CSV at any time.
Set your hourly rate once on a client. Override it per mission. Override again per task or per entry. Every time entry inherits the right rate automatically β no manual accounting per line item.
Studio is $9.99/mo or $89.99/yr. That is the total β regardless of how many invoices you send, how many clients you bill, or how many projects you run. There is no iTimeSheet invoice that costs extra.
Free tier available (3 clients, basic reports). No free trial on Studio β discover the full invoicing workflow via the watermarked Invoice Preview inside the app.
iTimeSheet is single-user by design. If you manage a team, need shared workspaces, or require approval flows, you need a different app. We skip this market intentionally.
There is no web app, no Android version, no desktop client. If you need to track time from a browser or a Windows PC, iTimeSheet will not work for you.
Export is CSV (customisable columns, format, separator) or PDF invoice. If your workflow requires a direct QuickBooks or Xero sync, you will need to import the CSV manually.
