Same 40 hours. A different story.

Time tracking,
with a point of comparison.

Knowing how long you worked is a start. Knowing whether that time went where you intended is the next step.

01 / INTENTION

Give your priorities some hours.

Choose a period and budget time for each project. A week, a two-week sprint, or a stretch that fits your work.

02 / REALITY

Record the work as it happens.

Start a timer. Switch projects when your focus changes. Correct an entry when real life gets ahead of the clock.

03 / PERSPECTIVE

Compare. Question. Adjust.

See actual time beside your original budget. Use the difference to ask better questions about your next period.

A small tool for a bigger picture

Less guessing.
More “now I see it.”

A running timer, an editable record, and a clear comparison. Everything comes back to your time.

A few good questions

Before you start.

How is this different from a time log?

A time log records what happened. HourPact adds your intention: a project-level time budget for a period you choose. Comparing the two gives those recorded hours context.

Do I have to schedule every hour?

No. “Ten hours on research over the next two weeks” is enough. Your budget doesn’t assign tasks to a time of day or limit the work you can record.

What if my priorities change?

Keep tracking the work you actually do, including unplanned projects. Once locked, your budget stays as the original comparison point. A difference is something to understand, not an automatic failure.

Can I correct time I forgot to track?

Yes. Add or edit individual time entries. Your actual totals update, while a locked budget keeps your original intention intact.

How do I create an account?

Use Google or GitHub to sign in. New and returning users use the same provider flow, with no separate HourPact password.
