We’re taking a slightly different approach to invoicing for billable hours. From talking with freelancers, independent contractors, agencies, and other professional services companies, we found that there’s a significant delay between when work is done and when the invoice actually goes out. Then, there’s even more delay between when that invoice goes out and when it gets paid.

We’re trying to reduce both of those delays as much as possible.

By sending a notification once hours have been approved, we remove the delay between when the work is done and when someone “runs invoicing.”

By making the notification personable and easily viewed on mobile devices, we increase the speed with which the customers pay.

That’s the general concept! I’d love to hear any feedback and comments the HN community has!

The design looks top notch and beyond that, it looks like you've really identified a specific part of the time tracking/invoicing workflow that has not yet been solved well and you have come up with a solution that completely nails that pain point.

Great work guys! : )

Do you guys have any kind of API?

Our API is not publicly available yet. Do you have any thoughts on what you'd want to use it for?

When I use Toggl's API, I use it for creating time entries and getting project info. If your app is RESTful, then you wouldn't need to do anything further.

Integration with accounting software, like Wave[0]

That's a great idea! We've already built an integration with QuickBooks Online. And, we're working on integrations with Xero and ZenPayroll. We can add Wave to the list.

cheez, we have a RESTful API that drives our site and mobile apps. But data security is a top priority for us and we have not yet built the authorization systems to open up access beyond our own clients.

That said, an API is high on our list and we want to make it as easy as possible for our users to enter time in whatever ways make sense for their workflows.

Thanks for checking us out!
