Hoursmith - Every billable hour, from timer to paid invoice

by•
Hoursmith takes a billable hour from timer to paid invoice, for freelancers and agencies. Track time, bill expenses to clients, and send branded invoices from your own domain. Get paid online into your own Stripe, with reminders that send themselves. What's different: flat pricing (never per-seat), invoices are frozen snapshots, and an MCP server so your AI agent can read your timesheet and invoices. Launch deal: first 100 customers lock 50% off for life.

Hey Product Hunt 👋 I'm Nivesh, I built Hoursmith.

I spent years freelancing and the part I hated wasn't the work, it was everything around the money. Time in one tool, invoices in another, then the dreaded "just following up on that invoice :)" email. So I built one place where a billable hour goes from timer to paid invoice.

🤖 What makes it a little different

  • An MCP server. Sit in your AI agent and ask "who has unbilled hours this week" and it answers from your real timesheet.

  • Flat pricing, never per-seat. Add your team without the bill climbing.

  • Invoices are frozen snapshots. Change a rate next month and last month's sent invoices never shift underneath you.

⏱️ Track time

  • Timers with real safety nets: a guard for timers left running past 8h, copy last week, bulk edits, and saved views.

🧾 Invoice and get paid

  • Branded invoices sent from your own domain, not a noreply address.

  • Online payments into your own Stripe, and you can add a per-method fee (like a 3.5% card surcharge, shown to the client before they pay).

  • See exactly when a client opens the invoice.

  • Overdue reminders that send themselves, one click or auto scheduled.

  • The full timesheet (PDF or CSV) and every receipt travel with the invoice as one zip.

  • A client portal where each client sees all of their invoices in one place.

  • Multi-currency, so your EUR client and your USD client each see the right thing.

💸 Expenses and reports

  • Snap a receipt, mark it billable, and it lands on the next invoice.

  • Reports for revenue, projects, and uninvoiced work. Export to CSV or PDF.

🔌 For the technical folks

  • REST API and the MCP server (Studio plan), plus outbound webhooks on Agency.

  • Docs: docs.hoursmith.app

Coming from another tool? You can import your clients and projects from Paymo or a CSV.
