BillHawk
Automatic time tracking that writes your invoices
BillHawk tracks the apps you actually work in, with no timers to forget. It pauses when you idle and resumes to the second, then turns those hours into finished PDF invoices with your rates and logo. It can also read your Apple Mail locally to find projects, quotes and payments. Native Swift, notarized, nothing leaves your Mac. One-time $29, no subscription.

Hi Product Hunt 👋 I'm Steven, a freelance 3D/motion designer from Bern, Switzerland. BillHawk started as a fix for my own most expensive habit: unbilled hours. The pattern was always the same. Ten minutes of client email here, a "quick" After Effects fix there, a revision on a Friday evening. None of it ever reached an invoice, because starting a timer was the last thing on my mind while working. By Sunday I'd be scrolling file timestamps trying to reconstruct my week. So BillHawk removes the timer entirely: 🦅 You pick your work apps once (Blender, Adobe, Resolve, Figma, Xcode — anything installed). Tracking runs whenever one is frontmost, pauses on idle/lock/sleep, and resumes the same session to the second. 🧾 Sessions carry their client and project, so invoicing is a selection, not an act of memory — export a PDF with your logo and rates in two clicks. ✉️ Optional Email Intelligence reads Apple Mail *locally* (English + German) and finds project requests, accepted quotes and payments. An accepted quote can become a draft invoice. It never sends anything itself. 🔒 Local-first for real: native Swift (no Electron), notarized, one local data file. No account, no cloud, no telemetry, no screenshots, no keylogging. For the technically curious: the Mail feature uses the macOS Automation permission, never Full Disk Access. Pricing is a deliberate bet: $29 one-time for the first 200 customers (then $49), no subscription, works on 3 Macs. My audience is freelancers who are tired of paying monthly for tools they use weekly. Honest about what it isn't: macOS 14+ only, no iOS or Windows, no team features. It's for one person who bills clients. I'd love your feedback — especially from freelancers who've tried making subscription trackers stick and gave up like I did.
