When I first started working with a small remote team, we had to report hours weekly and I realized I had zero structure. I’d jump between tasks all day and at the end I couldn’t tell what was billable and what was just “support.” That’s when I started using Clockify. What I liked immediately was that the free version didn’t limit users or projects, so our whole team could join without worrying about extra costs. At first I used manual tracking because I kept forgetting to hit start on the timer. Later I switched to automatic tracking during focused sessions, which helped a lot. The timesheets made it easy to see the week at a glance, and the reporting section showed me patterns I didn’t expect — like how much time internal communication was taking.
