Studio Timer is a macOS menu bar app that automatically tracks your hours in DaVinci Resolve, Premiere, After Effects and 9 others. The app also features an automated billing and invoice pipeline.

I built this app after a decade of freelance editing. Tracking my time with screenshots, manual entries, and a lot of guesswork. Hours always found a way to slip through the cracks no matter how careful I was.

My rates were plenty respectable. The real problem was that I had no concrete picture of where my time actually went. When starting a project, I preferred to go straight to editing and worry about adding up the time later. Realistically, I was quietly under-billing every project for years. Losing minutes here, forgetting hours there. Over time, there were hundreds of hours that I worked and never charged for. That's money and time that I'll never get back.

None of the creative apps I lived in allowed me to track project times, so I started building Studio Timer for myself. What started as a simple menubar start and stop time keeper, turned into a fully automated time tracker, billing, and analytics app.

Studio Timer's automatic tracking shows you the truth of how much time you spend on your projects. Turning that truth into accurate (to the minute) invoices and making sure you know just how much time you spent in the zone. A few beta testers have already hit record-income months, just by billing for the hours they used to lose.

If you have ever finished a project wondering where the time, and the money went, this is for you.
