How can we help?

Open the “Clients” area in the sidebar and click “+ New client”. Give it a name and optionally a color. On macOS you can also import clients directly from your Contacts.

Switch to “Projects” and click “+ New project”. Choose the client, set a name and an hourly rate. Optionally add a deadline, which is then shown as a due-date chip.

Tasks are individual activities within a project. Every time entry belongs to a task, so you can distinguish activities within a project.

Tap the play button on a project or task to start the timer. Tapping again (stop) ends tracking. On iOS you can also swipe a project card to the right.

Klip shows the running timer in the menu bar. From there you can start and stop tracking without opening the main window.

If you don’t work on your Mac for a while, Klip stops the timer automatically and back-dates the end to your last activity. You set the interval in Settings.

Open a task to see all individual entries with a daily chart. With Klip Pro you can correct start and end time, add a note, or create entries manually.

Use a project’s billing action to create an invoice with line items from the tracked tasks. You can export the invoice as a PDF.

In Settings you set the prefix, next number and number of digits. A live preview shows the format of the next invoice.

In the billing dialog you can mark an invoice as paid. The status feeds into the billing overview (donuts) in the reports area.

Store your name, address and VAT rate in Settings. These appear automatically on every invoice.

The three rings show the totals for open, billed and paid amounts – so you can see at a glance how much revenue is still outstanding.

The bar chart shows your hours per weekday for the current week. Today is highlighted.

Via “Export” in the reports area you can output your times and reports as CSV or (with Pro) as PDF.

In Settings under “Data & Backup”, “Export backup” creates a JSON file with all your clients, projects, tasks and time entries. Choose a location and keep the file somewhere safe.

With Klip Pro you pick a destination folder once – for example in iCloud Drive, Google Drive or Dropbox. Klip then backs up there automatically, as often as you like.

With “Restore backup” you load a previously exported JSON file. Note: your current data will be replaced.

This action deletes all data and settings irreversibly. Always create a backup first.

Synchronization via iCloud is prepared and can be enabled in a future version to sync your data across devices.
