How Clock Loom compares
Clock Loom is a time tracker and a day and week planner in the same app, with projects, tasks, meetings and notes built in. Most tools do one of those jobs: a time tracker records hours, a daily planner lays out the day, and a project tool holds tasks. Clock Loom is for people who want those to share one timeline, and it is not the right choice if you need invoicing, automatic activity tracking or many integrations.

When Clock Loom is a good fit
- You track your time and also plan your day, and you are tired of doing that in two apps.
- You want to see what you planned next to what you actually did, by day and by week.
- You work on a handful of projects with hour budgets and want to know how much of each is used.
- You send a weekly update or a standup and would like it drafted from your tracked time.
- You lead a small team and want a simple view of who has capacity this week.
- You want a free time tracker with no time limit, and to pay only if you need planning and reports.
When another tool is the better choice
- You need to invoice clients from tracked time, with billable rates and expenses. Choose a time tracker with invoicing. Clock Loom exports hours as CSV but does not create invoices.
- You need automatic tracking of apps, websites or screenshots, for example for employee monitoring. Clock Loom only tracks what you start or enter.
- You need native phone apps or to track mostly from a phone. Clock Loom runs in the browser and is laid out for larger screens.
- You need integrations with a calendar service, chat, accounting or development tools. Clock Loom imports and exports calendar invite files and CSV, and has no direct integrations.
- You run a large team that needs one shared live workspace with permissions and workflows. Clock Loom gives each person their own board.
If you are looking for an alternative
People usually find Clock Loom from one of two directions. Some use a dedicated time tracker, such as Toggl Track, Clockify or Harvest, and want planning in the same place. Others use a daily planner, such as Sunsama or Motion, and want real time tracking behind the plan. Clock Loom covers both jobs in one app at one price. It does less than those products in their own speciality: fewer integrations than the time trackers, no invoicing, and no automatic scheduling of your calendar.
The quickest way to judge is the live demo, which opens a sample team with a month of data and needs no account.
Common questions
Is Clock Loom an alternative to Toggl Track or Clockify?
It can be, if you want time tracking together with a day and week planner, tasks and notes in one app. Toggl Track and Clockify are dedicated time trackers with many integrations, and some dedicated trackers include invoicing. Clock Loom has no invoicing and no direct integrations, so it suits people who value planning and tracking in one place over those.
Is Clock Loom an alternative to Sunsama or Motion?
It can be, if you want time blocking for your day and week with a real time tracker behind it. Sunsama and Motion are planners built around your calendar. Clock Loom's Schedule is a manual time-blocking planner; it does not schedule your calendar automatically, and it adds time tracking, projects with budgets and weekly reports.
What is a good free time tracking app with a planner?
Clock Loom's Free plan includes unlimited time tracking, tasks, meetings and a notebook with no time limit. The day and week planner (the Schedule) is part of Pro, which every new account can use free for 30 days without a card.
Can Clock Loom replace my project management tool?
For a freelancer or a small team with a handful of projects, often yes: it has projects, budgets, milestones, tasks, a board and notes. Larger teams that need shared workspaces, permissions and integrations are better served by a dedicated project management tool.
