If your firm is outgrowing spreadsheets and free tools, talk to a legal practice consultant about billing software, trust accounting, and workflow options that scale with you.
Most law firms bill in tenths of an hour, or 6-minute increments, since it's precise enough to reflect real work without the awkwardness of billing in quarter hours for a 10-minute phone call. A quick email reply or a short client call is easy to forget to log entirely, and those small gaps compound into meaningful lost revenue across a billing cycle.
Contemporaneous time entry - logging as you go rather than reconstructing hours at the end of the week - consistently produces more accurate and defensible time records. If your firm bills on contingency for certain matters instead of hourly, our contingency fee calculator handles that fee structure separately, and if you're setting rates or retainers for a new matter, our retainer calculator can help estimate an appropriate upfront amount.
Entries save directly in your browser's local storage and are never transmitted to our servers, so they remain private to your device and browser. This also means entries won't sync across different devices or browsers, and clearing your browser's site data will erase them, so exporting to CSV periodically is worth doing if you want a permanent backup.
Dedicated practice management software offers features this simple tool doesn't, like multi-user access, integrated invoicing, trust accounting, and cloud sync across devices. This tracker is meant as a quick, free option for solo practitioners or anyone who wants lightweight time tracking without committing to a paid platform, not a full replacement for firm-wide billing software.
