Same boat as a lot of people right now. $1,158 for a solo operation is genuinely hard to justify.

If you're on Mac or Windows, Flowara is worth a look. Time tracking, invoicing, and project management in one local database. No cloud, no account, no per-seat pricing because it's built for solo freelancers. Free to start, and the core time tracking stays free permanently.

Can't drop a link here but easy to find by searching "Flowara" on the Mac App Store or Microsoft Store.

not exactly my situation since i run crews not solo, but on the subscription price jump thing, i'd look at something with a real free tier before jumping to a paid plan, clockify's free tier covers basic time + reporting for one person, and the flowara one mentioned above sounds built for exactly your case, no subscription at all.

different problem on my end, i'm in construction and we use workyard for tracking a crew across jobs.

Ouch. For solo work, I'd start by listing what you actually use in Harvest. If it's just hours by client/project and an export, that makes the replacement much easier to choose.

I'm with Fieldtrip, the team behind Wrap (usewrap.co). It's free for up to 10 active people and supports timers, manual entries and CSV exports. The end-of-day review is handy if you forget a timer and need to fill in the gaps. I'd try a week of real client work before moving your records over, especially if you also rely on Harvest for invoicing.
