Success Stories
TMetric helps us to track and manage our work time on different projects. It has provided us with a comprehensive overview of how our time is allocated across various tasks.

Linda Förster, project manager at Medudy
We’ve found TMetric to be both user friendly and robust. It was easy to setup which allowed us to begin leveraging the tool immediately. It also provides multiple layers of reporting which provides value to our organization on a number of different levels.
Brian Reilly, BankBound
TMetric is faster, more convenient and cheaper, the support is responsive and they fixed some bugs quickly.
Swen Roethlisberger, Floowedit
Works for me!
I recently transitioned from full-time employee to ‘consultant’. Needed an app to track projects, tasks and generate billing based on our agreement. TMetric handles this elegantly and I can access from my iPhone, iPad or PC- awesome!
Jim Rolph, Manufacturer's Representative at Gorman Company
After five months we are very happy with the app and will gladly renew the service. We are still finding new uses for it within our organization and it’s been pivotal for helping us gather better decision-making information, grow our topline and reduce our bottomline.
Galeno Chua, The Idea Founding Principal
There are plenty of available applications to monitor working time. We chose TMetric because of the suitable price and compatibility with Trello and Google Documents, which we use every day in our company.
