Harvest is a streamlined time-tracking and invoicing app designed for teams and freelancers who need clear visibility into hours, budgets, and client billing. It combines simple timers, expense logging, and intuitive reporting in one mobile interface, helping users record work quickly and turn tracked time into invoices with minimal friction.
At its core, Harvest focuses on making time capture painless and actionable. The app offers one-touch timers, quick manual entries, and a fast way to log expenses while on the go. Times and costs feed directly into neat reports and invoice drafts so billing cycles move faster and project profitability is easier to assess.
The mobile layout emphasizes speed: a prominent start/stop timer, a recent projects list, and quick access to timesheets. Navigation keeps the most-used actions one tap away so field work, client meetings, or short tasks don’t interrupt accurate tracking. Offline entries queue automatically and sync when connectivity returns.
Harvest converts logged time into billable items with customizable rates by people, projects, or tasks. Reports can be filtered by date range, client, or project to build clear narratives for stakeholders. Invoice templates include branding options and support multiple payment methods, helping reduce the time between work completion and payment receipt.
Team-focused features allow managers to view team capacity, approve timesheets, and compare estimates against actuals. Role-based permissions keep sensitive financial controls limited to project owners while still enabling team members to log time and expenses. Notifications and reminders assist with consistent submission and review cycles.
The app is optimized for Android devices to minimize battery impact while running timers in the background. Lightweight data sync keeps costs down on limited connections, and compatibility extends across phones and tablets. Common third-party integrations streamline workflows by connecting Harvest with task managers, accounting packages, and communication tools so data flows where it’s needed.
Security practices include encrypted data transfer and storage, routine backups, and options for two-factor authentication. Audit-friendly reports and export options make it straightforward to share records with accountants or clients while maintaining a clear paper trail for compliance and tax preparation.
Onboarding takes minutes: create an account, add a project, invite teammates, and start tracking. Predefined billing rates and templates speed up invoice generation, while sample reports help administrators understand where to refine estimates and control budgets. New users benefit from built-in tips and a short walkthrough to establish best practices from day one.
Harvest blends straightforward capture mechanics with robust billing and reporting so teams spend less time reconciling hours and more time delivering results. Its mobile-first approach ensures that whether you’re commuting, in client meetings, or onsite, accurate records are simple to maintain and turn directly into invoices and insights that keep projects profitable.
