What is Timescanner?
Timescanner is a productivity system designed specifically for freelancers and agencies who want to stop manually tracking time. Instead of using a timer or separate app, Timescanner works directly with your existing calendar. By simply adding a client name in brackets before your event titles, Timescanner reads your calendar and automatically calculates hours, revenue, and daily rates per client and project.
Your data never leaves your calendar, ensuring complete privacy and GDPR compliance. Timescanner integrates with Google Calendar, Outlook, iCloud, and any iCal-compatible calendar. It provides detailed tables and charts for time and revenue analysis, and uses AI only to generate activity reports from your calendar data. The goal is to reduce end-of-month admin from hours to seconds, giving you accurate data for invoicing and quoting.
