Clockify vs. timeBuzzer

Software

Clockify is available for all major platforms, so you and your team can track time from any device.

Clockify offers a ton of features and mangement features…(which most of them you’ll probably never use.)

timeBuzzer is available for all major platforms, so you and your team can track time from any device.

At timeBuzzer we don’t play the battle of features. We reduce things to the essentials.

Hardware

Clockify is entirely software-based and does not support dedicated hardware for time tracking.

Users must start and stop timers through the app or website.

timeBuzzer offers a unique physical buzzer device as an optional add-on to its software, making time tracking quick and effortless.

How it works:

The buzzer connects via USB, sits on your desk, and lets you start or stop tracking with a click. You can touch to instantly open the app and tap to instantly bring it to the background. By rotating the buzzer you can quickly switch clients, projects or tasks and a LED always shows you when tracking is active and also if you are tracking correctly as it lights in your predefined colors of you clients, projects or tasks. The physical device acts as a tangible reminder to track time and makes switching between tasks quick and easy, so you can even capture short activities effortlessly.

Why people choose timeBuzzer over Clockify?

I was using Clockify, but I very regularly forget to switch projects. Or to switch to another job with the same customer. For me, the physical buzzer was the selling point. Stefanie S.

I was looking for a more elegant solution for better time tracking. After all, it’s easy to forget to start Clockify and so on. Your buzzer solution is brilliant! – Jens P.

Previously, we used Toggl and tried many other apps (Clockify, TimeCamp, Timely, Memtime, Kimai). We can honestly say that this is the best time tracking application for us. It’s simple and clean. The hardware button is simply ingenious. – Laszlo H.

I would like to say that your program is by far one of the best on the market – here clarity, efficiency and other factors are decisive. – Erik S.
