Track time and convert to invoice line items

Use the built-in timer to log billable hours, then pull them straight into an invoice.

Start the timer

Click Time in the sidebar. Enter a description and optionally select a client and hourly rate, then click โ–ถ Start Timer. The timer runs live and persists if you close the tab โ€” it stops when you click โ—ผ Stop.

Tip: Set your hourly rate on the time entry so PayWren can calculate the unbilled value automatically.

Add time manually

If you forgot to start the timer, click + Add manually, enter a description and duration in minutes. PayWren back-calculates the start time.

Track unbilled value

The green banner at the top of the Time page shows your total unbilled value โ€” the sum of all entries that have a rate set but haven't been billed yet. Use this as a prompt to invoice.

Convert to an invoice

When you're ready to invoice, go to Invoices โ†’ + New Invoice, select the client, and manually add line items matching your time entries. Mark the entries as billed in the Time page.

Tip: Future versions of PayWren will allow one-click conversion of time entries to invoice line items. For now, use the time log as your reference when creating the invoice.
