1:00:32Made for one person on a Mac.
Clockify is built for teams. Hourbloom is built around your own hours, rates and calls.
Earnings as you work
Start a task from the menu bar, and today’s total grows at your hourly rate. The week and the month add up on their own.
No account
Open the app and start the timer. Projects, rates and notes stay in a folder on your Mac.
Calls on the clock
When Zoom, Meet or Teams turns on the microphone, the call gets its own task and its own time.
Notes on calls Pro
A notes window opens with the call, and what you write stays with the call’s task.
The client’s Google Sheet Pro
Connect it once, and Hourbloom writes your hours and tasks into it day by day, after showing what will change.
A backup every day
Hourbloom saves a copy of your data every day and keeps the last 30.

Import
Bring your Clockify history with you.
Three steps. Nothing changes until you confirm the import.
Export from Clockify
Open Reports → Detailed, choose the dates you want to bring over, click Export and pick CSV. Clockify exports CSV on its paid plans and during its free trial. If others track time in your workspace, filter the report to your own entries first.
Import into Hourbloom
Open Settings → Data, press Import… next to Entries from other apps and choose the file.
Check the days
Hourbloom shows every day in the file and what it already has on it. Each Clockify project goes into one of your projects or a new one — you choose. Then press Import; Undo Import puts everything back.
What comes over
- Projects, or the client when an entry has no project
- Tasks, with descriptions as their notes; an entry without a task takes its description as the name
- Start and end times
- The billable rate, for projects Hourbloom creates
Entries shorter than a minute are left out. Tags and the billable flag stay in Clockify.
Questions about switching.
Can I move my history from Clockify?
Yes. Export the Detailed report from Clockify as a CSV and import it in Settings → Data. Hourbloom shows the days before adding anything, and Undo Import puts everything back. See the steps.
Is Clockify still free?
Clockify has a Free plan for up to 5 users. According to its pricing and help pages, hourly rates, CSV and Excel report exports and reports longer than 31 days need a paid plan. In Hourbloom, rates, today’s earnings and CSV export are free.
Do I need a paid Clockify plan to export?
For a CSV, yes: Clockify exports reports to CSV on its paid plans and during its free trial. On the Free plan, it exports PDF only, and Hourbloom can’t read PDF.
Will my hourly rates come over?
If your Clockify file has a billable rate, a project Hourbloom creates gets it. Projects you already have keep their own rate.
Does Hourbloom work for teams?
No. Hourbloom is for one person: there’s no shared workspace, and your entries stay on your Mac. If your team tracks time together, Clockify is made for that.
Is Hourbloom free?
Time tracking, hourly rates, today’s earnings and CSV import and export are free. Pro adds client sheets, call notes, reports for any period and client payments with a monthly goal — try it free for 14 days.
Make every hour count.
Hourbloom is a menu bar time tracker for freelancers who bill by the hour.
