WorkTimes time tracker, $4.8K a month, self-reported in 2022: work-hour tracking
WorkTimes is a time and overtime tracker for iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch. Its $4.8K a month was founder-reported on the Indie Hackers product page (not independently verified), as of July 2022.
What it actually sells
WorkTimes makes it easy to log hours, calculate overtime, and manage leave from iPhone, iPad, or Apple Watch. The product serves employees, self-employed people, and freelancers tracking work hours.
It automatically calculates overtime using daily, weekly, or monthly schedules. It also tracks vacations, sick days, holidays, and annual leave alongside work hours.
How it charges
WorkTimes is free with up to 10 entries per account. Plus costs $29.99/year and includes unlimited entries with a 7-day free trial.
Where customers come from
The site uses direct app-download calls to action, including “Download WorkTimes today and see how simple time tracking can be.” It also uses free trial and app download messaging: “Give WorkTimes a try”
What stands out
WorkTimes exports timesheets as PDF or CSV reports, supports project, client, and activity tags, and provides notifications, widgets, private on-device storage, and iCloud backup. The site says no registration is needed and data stays private on the device.
The site says WorkTimes is trusted by over 5,000 customers worldwide. One user reports using the app since 2011, and another reports using it for 5 years.
From the official site
Often such apps are for self-employed or freelancers. This one is also suitable for regular employees.
Log vacations, sick days, and holidays right next to your work hours — all in one place.

Where it sits in the data
WorkTimes's $4.8K a month is higher than 58% of the 6,604 projects with founder-reported monthly revenue in our dataset; the median across them is $2K. Snapshot: 2026-09-30. The dataset only covers founders who chose to publish their numbers, so it leans toward businesses that work; use it for scale, not as an average.
Currency
All figures are in US dollars as published. A rough yuan or euro conversion is not applied here because prices, taxes and acquisition costs differ by country.
Could you build something like this?
In my view, this product addresses a clear need from employees, self-employed people, and freelancers who need to record work hours, overtime, and leave. The buyer is a user who wants time records on Apple devices and reports for an employer, taxes, or personal records.
Distribution would need to come from app-store discovery, direct downloads, free trials, and messaging that explains the product’s time-tracking features. The harder parts are supporting reliable calculations across schedules, handling exports and backups, maintaining privacy, and competing with other time-tracking products. No registration is needed, which can simplify the initial experience, but support expectations and the need to work across device features still require real work.
Verdict: Needs real work.
One thing to take from it
One thing to take from it is to define the buyer and the job clearly: WorkTimes combines work-hour logging, overtime calculation, leave tracking, tags, and reports for employees, self-employed people, and freelancers.
