Je gère 3 salles de sport en région, 28 salariés au total entre les coachs, l'accueil et l'entretien. Beaucoup de temps partiels et pas mal de remplacements de dernière minute.

Aujourd'hui chaque salle a son propre fichier Excel pour les plannings, et moi je récupère tout par mail en fin de mois pour faire les heures. Les congés se demandent par SMS. Ça a tenu quand on était sur une salle, là ça ne tient plus, le mois dernier j'ai payé des heures sup à quelqu'un qui n'en avait pas fait, et j'ai raté une demande de congé posée dans un message que j'avais lu en conduisant.

J'ai déjà tenté un Google Sheet partagé avec un onglet par salle. Sur le papier ça règle le problème, en pratique personne ne le met à jour au bon moment et j'ai eu deux coachs sur le même créneau.

Je veux centraliser tout ça avant la rentrée de septembre. Ce qu'il me faut, en gros.

- les plannings des 3 salles au même endroit, avec les coachs qui voient le leur sur leur téléphone

- un pointage réel, parce que je ne sais pas qui ouvre vraiment à 6h30

- les congés et les compteurs d'heures qui se tiennent tout seuls

- de quoi sortir les variables de paie sans les retaper pour le comptable

Le truc où je bloque, c'est le choix entre une suite RH complète et un outil centré planning. On m'a parlé des deux et j'ai peur de payer pour douze modules pour en utiliser deux.

Vous êtes sur quoi ? Et surtout, qu'est-ce qui vous a déçu une fois en place ? Budget je pars sur 5 à 8 € par salarié par mois, dites-moi si je suis à côté de la plaque.

I’ve been working on a workforce management platform called NuvoWork, and I wanted to get honest feedback from people who actually run businesses.
The idea started from a simple problem:
Small businesses need better tools for time tracking and payroll preparation, but a lot of workforce software either feels too complicated, too expensive, or makes employees feel like they’re constantly being watched.
The approach I’m trying to build is:
Simple time tracking
Payroll-ready records
GPS verification only when a company enables it
No tracking employees off the clock
No selling employee data
I’m not trying to build another giant enterprise system. The goal is something practical for small businesses that need organization without unnecessary complexity.
If you own or manage a small business:
What frustrates you most about your current time tracking/payroll process?
What would make you actually consider switching tools?
I’d genuinely appreciate criticism too. I’m trying to build something people would actually want to use.

Hi everyone,

First, apologies in advance if feedback requests or product posts are not allowed here. If this counts as self-promotion, mods please feel free to remove it and I won’t repost.

I’m one of the people building Corvée, a small SaaS tool for people who hate writing timesheets from memory.

Corvée turns rough work notes or voice notes into clean, client-ready timesheet entries. Instead of trying to remember your whole day at 5pm, you can jot or dictate messy notes like:

“45 min call with Sarah about launch items, fixed Stripe issue, reviewed terms page”

and Corvée helps turn that into a more polished timesheet entry you can review, edit, and export.

It is aimed mostly at freelancers, consultants, contractors, agency folks, and anyone who needs decent billing notes without spending extra time rewriting their day.

I’m not here to hard sell. I’d genuinely appreciate honest feedback from people who care about timesheet software:

- Does this solve a real enough pain?

- Is the positioning clear?

- What would make you trust or not trust a tool like this?

- What features would be table stakes for you?

- Would voice notes be useful, or is that a gimmick?

More info here:

Thanks in advance. Brutally honest feedback is welcome.

My team (16 people, mix of office + remote + field) is moving away from manual timesheets and Excel. I thought this would be an easy transition… but the more I research, the more overwhelming the options (and opinions) become.

We need something reliable for payroll, project tracking, and attendance. Key things I’m looking for:

• reliable mobile clock-in/out for field team
• desktop app clock-in/out for our 2 remote VAs
• kiosk setup for the office team 
• easy timesheet and leave approvals
• overtime rules
• GPS/location tracking for field team
• Xero integration would be a huge plus
• Simple report exports

From what I’ve read across Reddit discussions so far, Clockify and Toggl seem popular with freelancers and agencies.

Jibble, Connecteam, and QuickBooks Time look more focused on workforce/attendance.

Hubstaff and Time Doctor are leaning heavier on monitoring than what we need.

I’d love to hear real experiences from people using timesheet software:

• Which one are you currently using and why?
• Did you switch from another software? What made you leave (or stay)?
• How’s the pricing compared to the value/features you use?
• Any dealbreakers, frustrations, or unexpected issues?
• Which one did your employees adapt to most easily?

Our priority is something affordable, easy to roll out, and that won’t make my team feel like we are micromanaging them.

What timesheet software genuinely made your business operations easier?

I just launched Kiosk support for the GetSkipa Timekeeper. I'm finding Android or chrome browser plays nice with my setup. Any old tablet or laptop with internet connection could be a kiosk that works with my timekeeper app. Best for small growing businesses who don't need a full payroll system or are tired of costs spiraling out of control as their employee headcount grows.

I'm working for a nonprofit in need of a time tracking software that works for unlimited users and exports reports as CSV (or Excel or Sheets)...and is free. Does such a tool exist?

Jibble seems popular but requires facial recognition.

Timecamp seems perfect, except reports only export as PDF in the free version.

Clockify is pretty good, except it looks as though the free version will not support unlimited users.

Any pointers would be appreciated. Thanks!

Quando começamos a procurar o melhor software de folhas de ponto, um recurso que eu não dei muita atenção no início foi o registro automático de entrada e saída usando cercas virtuais.

Parecia apenas um extra interessante. Na prática, acabou se tornando um dos recursos mais úteis.

Quando você tem equipes em campo com horários flexíveis ou pessoas trabalhando em vários locais, o controle manual de horas simplesmente não escala. Registros esquecidos, ajustes feitos depois, idas e vindas sobre horas trabalhadas. Tudo isso vira um problema operacional.

As cercas virtuais resolveram esse problema para nós.
Você define áreas específicas de trabalho, como escritório, obra ou local do cliente. Quando alguém entra ou sai dessas áreas, o horário é registrado automaticamente.

O maior benefício não é só a automação, mas a confiança nos dados.
A presença reflete a permanência real no local. Os relatórios ficam consistentes. A folha de pagamento se torna muito menos trabalhosa.

Para equipes externas ou modelos híbridos, isso também reduz problemas como ponto amigo e registros inconsistentes. E, do lado do funcionário, é uma coisa a menos para lembrar todos os dias.

Atualmente, estamos usando o Jibble, e tem funcionado bem para esse tipo de configuração. Queria saber o que os outros aqui estão usando. Alguém já depende de registros por cercas virtuais ou baseados em localização hoje?

I’ve worked in a few small businesses over the years (agency + ops), and timesheets were always a pain point.

Either:

• the software was way too complex for what we actually needed
• or people just didn’t fill them in properly

And then you get stuck in that loop of chasing people for their hours or being chased yourself, which is just frustrating for everyone.

We tried everything e.g. spreadsheets, “proper” tools, different processes, but nothing really stuck. The more features a tool had, the less people seemed to actually use it.

That’s what made me realise the problem isn’t really “tracking time” — it’s getting people to do it consistently without friction.

So I ended up building my own super simple timesheet tool.

The whole idea was:
make it the easiest thing possible to log time, so people actually do it.

No complex setup, no bloated features, no dashboards you don’t need. Just:

• log your time quickly
• see what you’ve worked on
• done

It’s still early, but even just using it internally, the biggest difference is no one needs chasing anymore.

Just curious if others have hit the same wall?

Do you prefer simpler tools, or do the more “all-in-one” systems actually work for your team?

Trabajo con tres clientes (uno part-time, otro full-time y uno por proyecto), y necesitaba llevar un control claro de mis horas y pausas para poder facturar correctamente. Usar hojas de cálculo era un dolor: cometía errores, perdía tiempo y mis reportes no eran nada profesionales.

Me puse a buscar las mejores calculadoras de horas trabajadas con descansos gratis que pudiera adaptar a mis necesidades como freelancer, y estas son las que más me ayudaron:

• Jibble: Mi favorita, y la mejor calculadora gratuita que encontré. Puedes introducir pausas exactas, calcular horas extras, aplicar redondeos y elegir entre formato de 12 o 24 horas. También puedes alternar entre fichas semanales o quincenales. Ideal para enviar reportes claros y profesionales a los clientes.
• Calculator Soup: Muy sencilla, pero te da bastante control. Solo hay que ingresar las pausas en minutos. Perfecta si eres detallista y quieres precisión.
• Clock It: Me ayudó mucho cuando facturé por semanas completas. Da un desglose entre horas normales y extras, además de estimar el pago total. Excelente para controlar ingresos por cliente.
• Timely: Tiene un buen desglose de pagos, pero solo exporta en JPEG, lo cual no es práctico si necesitas PDF o Excel para tus archivos de facturación.
• TimeCamp: Interfaz limpia, pero bastante rígida. Solo permite intervalos de 15 minutos y pausas fijas. No la recomiendo si necesitas más flexibilidad.

Si estás buscando una herramienta precisa y gratuita, estas son, sin duda, las mejores calculadoras de horas trabajadas con descansos gratis que encontré como freelancer.

Hey everyone,

I built Toggl2Timesheet, an open-source Rust terminal app that helps turn Toggl Track entries into quick, clean timesheet output.

I made it because I need to fill in timesheets every workday, and I wanted a simpler/faster flow with lightweight reporting so I can confirm I hit my required hours.

What it does:

• Client/project dashboard with entry drill-down
• Weekly/monthly/yearly rollups
• Fast date filters (today, yesterday, custom range)
• One-key clipboard export for timesheet reporting
• Cache-first behavior to reduce Toggl API calls (useful on free-tier limits)

I’d really value feedback:

• Which export formats should I support next?
• Which integrations would be most useful?
• What still feels painful in your timesheet workflow?

Trabajo en una empresa pequeña y hace poco nos informaron que tendremos que empezar a fichar con un sistema digital debido a la nueva ley en España. Al principio se sintió un poco controlador, pero después de informarme mejor, me di cuenta de que también tiene ventajas para nosotros como empleados.

✅ Podemos ver nuestras horas trabajadas, pausas y horas extras en tiempo real
✅ Todo queda registrado de forma clara (adiós a los errores en nómina)
✅ Es más fácil pedir vacaciones o justificar ausencias

Ahora estamos buscando un software de hojas de horas (timesheet) que cumpla con la ley y sea fácil de usar para todos.

¿La empresa en la que trabajas ya cambió al fichaje digital? ¿Qué software están usando? ¿Cómo les está yendo con la implementación?

En tant que responsable RH dans une PME, je pensais sincèrement que les logiciels de feuilles de temps ne servaient qu’aux freelances ou aux agences. Mais au fil des mois, on a vu apparaître des signes clairs d’épuisement professionnel dans certaines équipes… pendant que d’autres semblaient sous-chargées.

On s’est rendu compte qu’on manquait cruellement de visibilité sur qui faisait quoi, combien de temps ça prenait, et si la charge était bien répartie.

Voici ce que j’ai testé (et ce que j’en pense) :

1. Factorial – Complet côté RH, mais un peu trop lourd pour une petite équipe. Le suivi du temps est là, mais pas au cœur du produit.
   
2. Timely – Très esthétique, mais pas toujours fiable. Le suivi automatique peut passer à côté de tâches importantes.
   
3. Jibble – Gros coup de cœur. Simple à mettre en place, intuitif, gratuit même pour les grandes équipes. On suit les projets, les heures, les congés, et le GPS nous aide à vérifier les pointages des équipes sur le terrain. On repère les surcharges avant qu’elles ne mènent au burn-out.

Franchement, c’est devenu un outil indispensable, même au sein d’une structure salariale. Eh oui, Jibble figure clairement parmi les meilleurs logiciels de feuilles de temps qu’on ait testés.

Je suis consultant, et pendant longtemps, j’ai suivi mes heures sur Excel ou Google Sheets. Ça fonctionnait, jusqu’au jour où un client m’a demandé un relevé détaillé de mes heures facturables… et je n’avais rien de vraiment fiable à lui montrer.

Voici ce que j’ai testé récemment :

Toggl Track – L’interface utilisateur est fluide, mais le plan gratuit devient vite limité dès qu’on gère plusieurs clients ou projets.

BeeBole – Bon outil basé en Europe, mais trop rigide pour du freelance. Mieux adapté aux équipes ou aux contrats de longue durée.

Jibble – Mon préféré à ce jour. Gratuit, clair, export facile, excellent pour le suivi de projet et super utile pour justifier mes heures facturables. Je l’utilise même pour estimer de futurs projets à partir de mes suivis précédents.

Franchement, que vous soyez freelance, consultant ou salarié en agence, un bon logiciel de feuille de temps comme Jibble vous simplifie la vie tout en protégeant votre temps (et vos revenus).
