Close your laptop on time. Your hours are already in.
Half5 lines up your workday as hours per client and project, from your computer, calendar and phone. You confirm what's right. Then your hours become invoices, without retyping.
- Encrypted, only you read your timeline
- Mac, Windows, iPhone, Android and web
From an ordinary workday to an invoice, in the real app.
You confirm your hours, your manager approves them and finance invoices them. Nobody retypes anything.
You work. Half5 lines up your day.
The desktop app on your Mac or Windows PC notices which programs, websites, files, commits and AI sessions there were. Your calendar and phone add meetings, visits and drives. Half5 turns that into suggestions, one per block of work.
More about the timelineKeep what's right.
Pick a suggestion and the client, project and time are already in the form. Fix what's off and save. Whatever wasn't work, you leave alone.
More about time trackingOne calm look a week.
Managers see what each person logged per week, with leave and drives alongside. Approve, or decline with a reason. Someone else approves your own hours. The timeline behind those hours is not visible to them.
More about approving hoursApproved hours become an invoice.
Half5 drafts invoices per client from the approved hours (or, with approval switched off, from all saved hours). Check them, download a PDF or send them by email, with a copy to your accountant if you like.
More about invoicingFriday, 5:40 pm. The whole week still has to go into your timesheet.
Your calendar, your inbox and your memory side by side, and it still doesn't quite add up. That's not on you. Nobody remembers a whole week.
-
10:14 That twelve-minute visit Dropping by a client to think something through. Never written down, so never invoiced.
-
14:30 Fixing something in between Twenty minutes here, a quarter of an hour there. By Friday it adds up to half a day.
-
16:05 The drive to the client Kilometres on a scrap of paper in the car, or nowhere at all.
Half5 lines up what your computer, calendar and phone saw: the work in between, the visit and the drive. All you do is check that it's right.
Your timeline is yours.
Half5 helps you remember, not monitor. The trust center lists what your manager does and never sees.
Visit the trust center How the encryption works- Your timeline is private Half5 keeps track of the programs, websites and files you use on your computer and phone, so you can fill in your hours quickly. It is end-to-end encrypted, like WhatsApp: only your devices have the key. Your manager, your colleagues and Half5 itself cannot read it.
- Your manager only sees what you log That is the hours you enter, with client, project and description, plus your leave and your drives. Not which programs you had open or which websites you visited.
- You choose what Half5 tracks Put a program or website on your exceptions list and it no longer shows up in your timeline. Useful for your bank, your email or personal matters.

Can my employer see what I do all day?
No. Your timeline (programs, websites, files, AI sessions) is end-to-end encrypted, like WhatsApp: only your devices have the key. Your employer, your manager and Half5 cannot open it. Your manager only sees what you log: hours with description, client and project, your leave and your drives, and reports on those per person.
How much time does it take each day?
Usually a few minutes. Half5 lines up your day as suggestions per client and project; you keep what's right and save it.
Does it work with my accounting software?
Half5 connects to Moneybird, Exact Online, WeFact and e-Boekhouden. Half5 also makes invoices itself from approved hours, as a PDF or by email. Using something else? Email us which one.
Can my AI agent log hours for me?
Yes. Connect Claude, ChatGPT, Codex or Cursor through the Half5 MCP server. Your agent logs on the right client and project, and the hours stay pending until they're approved.
Do I need to enter payment details for the trial?
No. The first 14 days are free, no credit card needed. At the end of the trial you choose a plan in the app and enter your payment details.
