Are there any free solutions out there for simple time tracking?
Even just good applications for logging worked hours. Currently I just use a spreadsheet to log when I get to work, and when I leave.

#42Looks like a beautiful app. Unfortunately I wouldn't use it. The killer feature for me is not just time tracking, but automatic invoice creation. Being able to track time and then generate an invoice with the click of a button. I use Cashboard, which has this feature, and costs about $9/month. I see Freelancy has export to CSV - but it's simply isn't worth my time to write a program to convert a CSV dump to a printable invoice to save $4/month.

#43What is the OSX app built on? Is it the Node Webkit wrapper?

Yes, it is.

FWIW, every idiot pricing things at $9.99 has turned $9 into the same as $10 in my internal price-justification equation. At that level I've hit the point where I need to be able to justify it to myself and it causes me to waver. $5 is less than the coffee I bought (and Especially with the prolificity of well-established competitors I would keep the price lower, at least until the product is more established.
This advice is pure insanity. Never anchor your price against a latte - also never let internet commenters influence you to anchor your price against a latte. Someone discriminating between $5 and $10 for a time tracking application that allows you to bill real customers for real money is emphatically not your target customer . $10 a month for almost any kind of freelance job is a drop in the bucket. Raise your price…
agreed. though there is some price discrimination in this market.

#46The UI is great. Is there a way to export the data with all details? Additionally, it would be great to have the option to store the data in your own data store (e.g. remoteStorage).
Right now you can export only hours and money in CSV, though I'm planning to add more detailed reports and exports. I don't really get you on your own data store—the app syncs with remote CouchDB, do you mean the ability to specify your own remote URL to sync?
Exporting the details likely seems to be required for many users as customers/clients might want to see the details.
With regards to data storage: the idea is to connect a remote data store like tent.io oder remotestorage.io

What details exactly do you mean?
