Frequently Asked Questions
What kinds of freelancers use BuckleTime?
Designers, developers, writers, consultants, coaches, virtual assistants, video editors, marketers – anyone selling their time or expertise independently. The common thread is working alone and needing accountability.
Can I use this for business development work?
Absolutely. Prospecting, proposals, invoicing, portfolio updates – the unglamorous freelance admin that's easy to avoid becomes easier when you're accountable to a session.
How do I track billable hours?
BuckleTime tracks your focused work time. Many freelancers use it alongside time-tracking tools like Toggl or Harvest. Your session declarations can note which client you're working on.
Is this a networking space?
No – BuckleTime is for doing the work, not talking about work. While you can see what others are working on, the emphasis is on focus. For freelancer networking, communities like Slack groups work better.
What if I have multiple client projects in a day?
Start a new session for each client or task block. BuckleTime works great for timeboxing – 90 minutes for Client A, break, 50 minutes for Client B. Each session keeps you focused.
