Who Clock Loom is for
Clock Loom is for people who manage their own time across several projects: freelancers and consultants who answer to clients, developers and designers who need focus, and leads of small teams who plan other people's weeks. Here is how each of them typically uses it, and which plan covers it.
Freelancers and consultants
Track hours per client project, keep each project inside its hour budget, and send the client a weekly summary without writing it from scratch.
- Create a project for each client engagement, with the client's name and an hour budget.
- Start the timer when you begin work, or add the day's entries afterwards.
- Watch the budget bar on the project page; it turns red when the project goes over.
- On Friday, open the weekly report, copy it and send it. For invoicing, export the entries as CSV into your invoicing tool.
- If you run the same kind of engagement often, save the project as a template.
Time tracking and up to 3 active projects are Free. Budgets, weekly reports, CSV export and unlimited projects are Pro.
Developers and designers
Protect focus time, see where the day really went, and keep tasks and notes next to the work.
- Block the day on the Schedule around your meetings.
- Start each block with one click; use Focus for a timed session with a break.
- Keep tasks on the board and start the timer from a card.
- Write decisions and checklists in the notebook, and turn a page into a task when it needs doing.
- At the end of the week, use Review the week to compare the plan with what happened.
Time tracking, tasks, the board and the notebook are Free. The Schedule and Review the week are Pro.
Leads of small teams
Plan who does what this week, see who is overloaded, and get standup notes and a weekly report from the team's logged time.
- Add each person as a collaborator with their daily capacity.
- Assign tasks with estimates and due dates.
- Check the Team view: hours against capacity for each person and a heatmap of the week.
- Use Standup to draft yesterday, today and blockers for anyone on the team.
- Send the weekly report, which totals hours per person and per project.
Collaborators, the Team view, standup notes and weekly reports are Pro. Each person who wants their own board creates their own account.
Remote and hybrid workers
Give the day a shape, keep an honest record of it, and take the breaks you would otherwise skip.
- Set a daily target and plan the day in blocks.
- Let the idle check catch time the timer ran while you were away.
- Keep eye-break, posture, movement and water reminders on while you work.
- Fill in the daily check-in; it feeds tomorrow's standup notes.
Time tracking, the daily target, reminders and the check-in are Free. The Schedule is Pro.
Students and researchers
Track study or research hours by subject, keep reading notes beside them, and see the week at a glance.
- Create a project per course or study, and track sessions with the timer.
- Use repeating tasks for weekly reading or lab work.
- Keep notes in a notebook with a section per topic, and export them as Word or PDF.
- Use the week view of the Work log to see hours per subject.
All of this is on the Free plan, with up to 3 active projects.
