AI first

Ask your assistant. It’s in your timesheet.

UseHourly has a built-in server for MCP, the open standard that lets AI assistants such as Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor work with your apps. If you spend your day in an assistant, you can log time, run the timer, build a client’s timesheet and prepare an invoice without opening UseHourly at all.

  • Ask in plain words

    Log 1h30 on a project, move an entry, or get hours per project for the month.

  • Timesheets and invoices, not just entries

    Ask for the week as a grid, have gaps pointed out, get a link your client can read and approve, or have an invoice prepared. It asks before it shares, sends or deletes.

  • You hold the key

    Log in and approve, or make an access token on your Account page. Choose read only or read and change, and revoke it any time.

  • Only your own data

    An assistant sees just your account, and it can't change your password or make more tokens.

See the whole month at a glance.
