For freelancers & consultants who bill by the hour
You’re leaving ≈ €16,800 a year on the table.
Untracked context switches, midnight fixes and “quick calls” quietly vanish from memory-based timesheets — about 20% of billable time. Temporal.ist captures it automatically from file saves and URL visits.

Audit · step 02 — find the leak
Where the ~20% leaks
The same week, written down two ways: once from Friday-afternoon memory, once from timestamps.
A file saved at 23:14 still counts. A URL pattern catches the call tool. Every switch is timestamped, every watched folder bills. Nothing relies on your memory.
Audit · step 03 — plug it
Set it up once. It runs itself.
Install the watcher
Windows, macOS, Linux — plus extensions for Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari. Three minutes, once.
Point it at the work
Pick the folders and URL patterns that mean “billable”. Saves and visits become timestamped sessions on the right project.
Invoices build themselves
Sessions roll up into clients, projects and line items. The hours are already there when you send the bill.
Entries from other ledgers
Receipts from people who found their number
“I discovered I was undercharging by 20%. Found it in the first week.”
“Reclaimed 10+ hours of admin a month and my invoices finally match reality.”
Pro pays for itself with the first 7 minutes it recovers each month.
€8 ÷ €72/h × 60 = 6.7 min. Everything after that is yours.

Objections, audited
Fair questions, straight answers
Is the 20% number real?
It’s a range, not a slogan. Studies of memory-based time reconstruction put under-billing between 15% and 25% — people reliably forget short tasks, after-hours fixes and context switches. We calculate with a conservative 18%. More to the point: your dashboard shows your number within a week of real data, so you never have to argue with an average again.
I bill flat-fee or retainer — is this still useful?
Yes. You can’t price the next flat fee without knowing your effective hourly rate on the last one. Temporal.ist shows what each project actually cost you in hours, so you reprice with evidence instead of optimism.
Do I have to change how I work?
No. Save files like you always do. The desktop watcher notices activity in folders you chose; the browser extension matches URL patterns you set. No timers to start, no entries to type, nothing to remember on Friday afternoon.
Is this surveillance?
No screenshots, no keystroke logging, no productivity scores. Temporal.ist records timestamps for files and URLs you explicitly told it to watch — that is the entire dataset, and it’s yours.
What if it finds nothing?
Then congratulations — you’re in the top few percent of estimators, you’ve lost nothing, and the free plan stays free. Most people meet their missing hours in the first week.
Bottom line of the audit
Your missing €1,403/month is still on the table.
It doesn’t show up in memory. It shows up in timestamps — usually within the first week.
