#2Nice implementation, quick to get up and running through the Chrome app store.
One thing I couldn't work how to do was add a new project. Kept showing "No project" for me and I could see now way of adding new projects?

Thanks, there is a button ‘+ Add’ and hotkey Cmd/Ctrl + N for adding new projects or clients. Also you can switch between sections (tracker, analytics, projects, etc) by hotkeys Cmd/Ctrl + 1/2/3/4.

#6Not at all against paid software, but if I were the freelance programmer, I would write one for myself :)

It's 5$ per month — how many years will it take to break even?

It's the same as CMS/Todos/PM/Crm software, most of small companies create their own... and after wasted year on broken, non tested software they look for something commercial. $5 is a good price for simple software.

#9I do not know, from the webpage, how this works. This sentence:
> "Are you tired of counting the time you have actually worked? Let Freelancy do it for you."
Leads me to believe it is automatic tracking, is that the case? It does not look like that.
I am currently using an fully automatic time tracker which I am extremely happy with. I will note that the one I use does not include any form of money etc. But it does give you an HH:MM breakdown of each days work, based on project.

#10As someone who has a product in this space, some thoughts/ideas:
* Not everyone bills hourly. Include daily and weekly rates.
* It took me a while to figure out how to add a project when wanting to create a time log. Maybe have a "Quick Add" option in the projects dropdown?
* Include currency support. I've found that a lot more companies than I expected price in multiple currencies.
* The "Add Manual" time function could be a little more prominent. Not everyone will want to use a timer.
Best of luck!
