Independently owned · Built for solo work

Built for one.

Not a team tool with the team removed.

Hour Pixel is time tracking, invoicing, and tax prep designed from day one for independent professionals. No surveillance. No per-user pricing. No bloated team features you'll never use. Just a tool that respects your work and your time.

Why we built this

A time tracker that fits how solo work actually happens

The time tracking market is dominated by tools built for 50-person agencies, retrofitted to sort-of work for freelancers. You pay per user for features you'll never use. You navigate menus designed for team managers. You tolerate interfaces that haven't been redesigned in a decade.

We built Hour Pixel because we couldn't find a time tracker that felt like it was built for one person. Not a locked-down "Solo" tier of an enterprise product, but a genuine, solo-first tool built by people who also work solo.

Our mission is simple: help independent professionals run their business with less friction and more confidence.

We don't track your keystrokes. We don't take screenshots. We don't sell your data. We don't chase hyper-growth that would force us to compromise on the people we're meant to serve.

About us

Real people.
No investors. No exit strategy.

Hour Pixel is built and run by a husband-and-wife team. We're entirely self-funded and independent. We don't have aggressive quarterly growth targets or plans to get acquired by a mega-corp. We're trying to build a sustainable business while making a tool that genuinely helps solo professionals, and that means our incentives are aligned directly with yours.

When you email us, one of us reads it. When you find a bug, we're the ones who fix it. When you suggest a feature, it goes on our roadmap, not into an enterprise customer's request queue.

This matters because the industry is full of cautionary tales: tools that got acquired and then jacked up their prices overnight, or shut down niche features, or sold user data to "monetize the platform." We've been on the receiving end of that enough times to know it's not how we want to treat our customers.

We'll never sell your data. We'll never abruptly change our pricing on you. We'll never add surveillance features. And if we ever have to shut this thing down, we'll give you a year's notice and a full export of your data.
What we do right

Built the way solo work actually happens

Everything you need to track, bill, and manage your independent practice, and nothing you don't.

A timer that lives where you do

Start, pause, or stop from anywhere: the web app, a picture-in-picture widget that floats above other windows, or your phone.

Clients, projects, and invoices that talk to each other

No importing between tools. Log hours today, send a professional PDF invoice tomorrow, with expenses, tax, and payment instructions built in.

Recurring invoices without auto-billing landmines

Monthly retainers? We draft the invoice on the scheduled day and drop it in your drafts. You send when you're ready. Nothing auto-fires.

Expenses that flow to invoices

Log a business expense, tag the client, and it shows up as a line item on your next invoice. No spreadsheet juggling.

Tax estimates, not just tax reports

See your estimated self-employment tax bill in real time. Cross a registration threshold? We'll tell you before your accountant does.

Multi-currency without a second thought

Bill one client in USD, another in CAD. Exchange rates update daily from official sources, not from a third-party feed.

Your data, always yours

Export everything as CSV or JSON anytime, for any reason. No paywall. If you ever leave, you leave with everything.

What we don't do

The things we deliberately left out

No screenshots of your screen

Ever. Not at any tier. Not with permission. If that's what you want, Hour Pixel is not that product.

No screenshots or activity scores

Productivity theater is a lie. Your timer is your business. We don't take screenshots of your desktop or send "activity percentages" to your clients.

No per-user pricing

You are one person. A flat monthly rate is honest pricing.

No crippled-free, pay-for-basics

Every core feature works on every tier. We don't gate invoicing to upsell you.

No hidden cancel button

End your subscription in two clicks. Your data stays accessible for 90 days if you change your mind.

No selling or sharing your data

Not to advertisers. Not to AI training models. Not to anyone. It's yours, encrypted, and that's where it stays.

Simple, honest pricing

One plan. Everything included.

Starter tiers that lock out invoicing. Pro tiers that gate reports. Enterprise tiers with SAML SSO nobody asked for.
We have one plan. It includes everything we build. Forever.

Beta We're in public beta. Here's what that means.

We're not going to pretend we have a thousand happy customers. We don't yet. Hour Pixel is newly launched and we're actively talking to every early user about what works, what doesn't, and what we should build next.

If you try Hour Pixel and hit a bug, tell us. We'll probably fix it that week. If you're missing a feature that would make this a no-brainer for you, tell us that too. We're small, we're listening, and we're fast to respond.

This is the early, hands-on, founder-led period. You won't get this kind of attention from a giant enterprise competitor. You'll get a support queue and a template response. With us, you get a real reply from one of two people who built this.

Common questions

Things you'll probably wonder about

What happens to my data if I cancel?
Your data stays accessible for 90 days after cancellation. You can log in anytime during that window and export everything. After 90 days it's permanently deleted.
Can I import my data from Toggl, Harvest, Clockify, etc.?
Yes, we support CSV imports from most major time trackers, and we'll map your projects, clients, and time entries automatically. If your tool isn't on our list yet, email us and we'll usually add it within a week.
Will you ever raise prices?
If we need to increase prices, we'll give you at least 6 months notice and grandfather existing subscribers at their current rate for at least a year. We haven't done it yet and we don't plan to.
Do you support teams?
Not currently, and that's intentional. Hour Pixel is designed for one person. If you grow into a team, we'll help you migrate your data to a team-focused tool that fits better.
What happens if you shut down?
We'll give you a full year of notice and free data export. We have no plans to shut down. We're a lean, profitable-on-purpose business, but you deserve to know.
Do you use my data to train AI?
No. Your invoicing history, client details, and time entries are never used to train machine learning models. They're stored encrypted and only accessible by you.
Where are you based?
We're a Canadian husband-and-wife team, and Hour Pixel works for professionals anywhere. We support multi-currency billing, a range of tax systems, and localized date/time formats.

Try it for two weeks.
See if it fits.

No credit card required. No pushy sales emails. No dark pattern cancellation flow. Just 14 days of full access to see if Hour Pixel is the tool you wished existed.
