Ask HN: Freelancers, what do you use to for time management and invoicing?
I'm doing more and more freelance work and need a better way of invoicing with time tracking + expenses. One that takes an online payment from a client would be great, but not required. For time tracking, I've been using mite by quirky German company Yolk: http://mite.yo.lk/ Weird name but the product has a great UX and a no-frills approach with focus on just the essential features including an API. At 5 EUR per user per month it's reasonably priced as well. For invoicing I use a plain and simple LibreOffice spreadsheet template and email. I do my expense tracking in Evernote. Check out Cushion App: http://cushionapp.com/. I don't use it, but I follow his blog and he has some very thoughtful posts on design. I like invoiceninja. No connection, just a happy user. It's been going a few years, open source, free (paid option for no branding), payment gateways and so far has been reliable. You can also set scheduled recurring invoices, even on the free tier. Thank you, I'll take a look.
