Harvest alternative
The Harvest alternative that tracks time for you
Harvest combines timers and timesheets with invoicing, and time is entered by starting timers or filling in your week. Hourweave takes a different approach for people who bill for code: your timesheet is drafted from commits and AI coding sessions, matched to your tickets, and you just approve it.
Every feature, no card needed. Free plan forever after.
