Step-by-step guide

Map out what you need to track
As a freelancer, you typically manage: active clients, current projects, hours worked, invoices sent, payments received, and upcoming deadlines. These are the core data points for your tracker.

Describe the tracker to Appaca
Tell Appaca: "Build a freelancer client tracker with clients (name, email, hourly rate, status), projects linked to clients (title, brief, start/end dates, budget, status), time logs per project, and an invoice generator showing total hours × rate per project."
- 3
Add your current clients and projects
Enter each active client and their current project. Include the agreed rate and project deadline. This becomes your live pipeline view.
- 4
Log time as you work
After each work session, log the time against the relevant project. Include a brief description of what you did. This creates your invoice-ready time record.
- 5
Generate invoice summaries
At invoice time, view the total hours and amount for each project. Export as a CSV or create a summary for your invoicing tool.
- 6
Track payment status
Mark invoices as Sent, Paid, or Overdue. The dashboard shows outstanding revenue and late-paying clients at a glance.
