Your real hourly rate, live
On flat-rate jobs, WorkCinch divides your quote by the hours you've logged and sets it against your target. On hourly jobs, it shows your earnings as they build.
Hours, quotes and invoices for independent contractors
Know what you're really earning.
WorkCinch tracks your hours, compares them to what you quoted, and shows your effective hourly rate while you work. Then it invoices the job and helps you get paid.
Coming soon to iPhone.

How it works
From quote to paid, in one place.
- STEP 1
Quote it
Set a target hourly rate and quote the job by the hour or as a flat price. A flat price becomes an hour budget.
- STEP 2
Punch in
Clock in, take breaks, clock out. Your effective rate and pace update as you work.
- STEP 3
Invoice
Turn the job into a clean PDF invoice with your business details, a deposit if you took one, and the balance due.
- STEP 4
Get paid
Send the invoice, mark it paid, and send a receipt. Card payments are on the way.
What's inside
Built around one question: am I making what I should?
An hour budget you can stay under
Your quote and your target rate set the hours the job can take. The app tells you plainly whether you're ahead of it, on it, or behind it.
Made for forgetting to punch out
Breaks, optional auto-lunch, and a prompt when a session was left running. Fix any punch later. Edited hours carry a quiet "edited" mark so the numbers on an invoice stay traceable.
Accepted estimates become jobs
Write an estimate, send it, and turn the accepted one into a job with its price and hour budget already set.
Documents you're happy to send
PDF invoices and receipts with your business details, plus deposits and balance due. Add your own logo with Pro. Saved documents never change after you send them.
Materials and a tax set-aside
Log what you spent on a job and set aside a percentage for taxes to see your take-home. The set-aside is an estimate you control, not tax advice.
Look back over the month
A calendar of every day you worked, shaded by hours. Tap a day to see its sessions, breaks, tasks and photos. Filter by job or client, and see your hours and hourly earnings for the month.
Export everything, any time
One file with your clients, jobs, expenses, invoices and estimates as spreadsheets (CSV), your PDFs and photos, and a full copy you can restore from. It's free, and it's yours.
Clock-out
ALL IN A DAY!
Mark a flat-rate job done and the app says DONE!, with a note when you came in under your hour budget. Put in a full eight hours on an hourly job and it says ALL IN A DAY! when you clock out, once a day at most. You can turn it off in Settings.

Questions
Short answers.
Who is WorkCinch for?
Independent contractors and freelancers who sell their time: carpenters, painters, electricians, designers, developers, and anyone who quotes a job and wants to know if it paid off.
When can I get it?
WorkCinch is coming soon to iPhone. Email [email protected] and we'll let you know when it's out.
What is an effective hourly rate?
It's what a job pays per hour of work. On a flat-rate job, it's the quoted price divided by the hours you actually worked.
Is it really free?
Yes. The app is free to download and use, with no limit on how many invoices you send. Your documents carry a small WorkCinch footer. Pro removes the footer and puts your own logo on your documents. What's free stays free.
Where is my data stored?
On your phone. You don't need an account to track time and make invoices, and you can export everything from Settings. If you use online payments, the amount and a short description of each payment link go to our payment service and Stripe.
Does WorkCinch do my taxes?
No. It lets you set aside a percentage of each job and shows your estimated take-home. That figure is an estimate, not tax advice.
Can my clients pay by card?
Card payments through Stripe are on the way. When you turn them on, your client pays on a Stripe page and the money goes to your own Stripe account. Stripe's standard card fee applies, and the app shows the estimated fee and what you'll receive before you send the link.
Can I back up or move my data?
Yes. Export All Data in Settings makes one file with your clients, jobs, expenses, invoices and estimates as spreadsheets, your PDFs and photos, and a full copy you can restore from. It's free for everyone.
Is there an Android or iPad version?
Not right now. WorkCinch is built for iPhone and needs iOS 17 or later.
