TimeChat vs Clockify

A Telegram bot you log hours into after work — vs a stopwatch you have to remember to start.

The core difference

Clockify is the de-facto free timer for freelancers. It's solid software. But like every timer app — Toggl, Harvest, Hubstaff — it depends on you remembering to start the timer. When you don't, you undercharge.

TimeChat is a different paradigm: log after the work, in Telegram, in 4 seconds. End of month, bot generates PDF invoices automatically.

Question: When was the last week you started every timer correctly? Most freelancers answer "never."
