Time Tracking for Independent Designers Managing Client Hours

Design studio time tracking

Teetrack helps independent designers track their own hours per project, monitor budgets, and report client work based on real effort — not estimates.

Why Design Studios struggle with time tracking

Designers bounce between projects and lose track of where hours went

As an independent designer you might work on three client projects in a single day — logo refinement, a web layout, and a presentation deck. Without structured logging, hours blur together and project profitability becomes invisible.

Project scopes expand but budgets stay fixed

Clients add pages, request new mockups, or change direction mid-project. You absorb the extra work because there is no clear record of how many hours the scope change added.

Your own utilization is a mystery until month-end

You need to know which clients are consuming your capacity and where you still have room. Without structured time data, planning your workload is based on feel rather than numbers.

Example scenario

“EU hosting on Hetzner cleared our GDPR compliance review — data residency was the first question, and it was answered.”
