The 6 Best Everhour Alternatives for Mac in 2026

Clockify is the closest swap for most Everhour teams. It is free for up to 5 users, paid plans start at $3.99 per seat a month billed annually, and invoicing starts on Standard. Choose Toggl if you need Jira or Asana integrations, Harvest if invoicing is the main job, and Dayflow if you work alone on a Mac and want an automatic record stored on your machine instead of timers.

Everhour is a timer-based tracker designed to sit inside the project tools a team already uses, such as Asana, Jira, ClickUp, Linear and Trello. If that describes your team, it does the job well. People who start looking elsewhere usually have one of a few specific reasons:

• The seat minimum. The Team plan costs $8.50 per seat per month billed yearly, or $10 per seat billed monthly, and it bills a minimum of 5 seats. A freelancer on Team pays for five people.
• The free plan leaves out integrations. Free covers up to 5 seats, but the connections to Asana, Jira and the rest, which are the main reason to pick Everhour, are on the paid plan.
• It runs on timers. Time is logged by timer or by hand. An “AI Tracker” that detects work without a timer is advertised as early access only.
• The desktop app is Mac-only and online-only. It needs an internet connection, Windows is listed as planned, and data lives on AWS in Oregon and Frankfurt.

A disclosure before the list: Dayflow is our product. It is ranked here alongside Toggl (formerly Toggl Track), Clockify, Harvest, TMetric and Paymo, and there is a full section on when you should skip it. The method is a comparison of each vendor’s own documentation as checked on October 4, 2026, with Dayflow details taken from version 2.2.0.

What does Everhour do well?

Everhour’s strongest feature is where the timer lives. Instead of asking people to open a separate app, it puts tracking inside the tools they already work in. The vendor lists 40+ integrations, including Asana, ClickUp, GitHub, Linear, Basecamp, Jira, Trello, Monday and Notion.

The paid plan is also simple. There is one Team tier with every feature, so you don’t have to work out which plan includes budgets or invoicing. That tier includes:

• Budgets with alerts
• Invoicing and expenses
• Time off and scheduling
• SSO and advanced permissions

For a team of five or more that already runs on Asana or Jira, that bundle at $8.50 per seat per month billed yearly is hard to beat on paper. Several alternatives below either charge more for the same integrations or split these features across tiers.

The trial is 14 days of all features with no credit card, and the free plan for up to 5 seats includes time tracking, projects and tasks, reports and data export. Everhour also says it replicates data across its two AWS regions.

Why do people switch from Everhour?

Solo users hit the seat minimum. The Team plan bills at least 5 seats. A solo user pays for five seats on either billing option, for a plan built for a team.

The free plan isn’t really Everhour. Without integrations, the free plan is a basic timer with projects and reports. The thing that makes Everhour different is behind the paywall.

Timers depend on memory. Every timer-based tool shares this weakness. If you forget to start one, or switch tasks without switching the timer, the record is wrong until someone fixes it by hand. Everhour’s answer, the AI Tracker, was early access on the date checked.

Platform and data constraints. The desktop app is macOS only, so Windows teammates are limited to the web app, mobile app and browser extension until Windows support ships. The desktop app also needs an internet connection. Data is hosted on AWS in the US and Germany. Teams that need hosting in another region, or that want records on their own machine, have to look elsewhere.

Fixed price for features you may not use. “All features in one tier” cuts both ways. A team that only needs timers and reports pays the same per seat as a team using budgets, scheduling and invoicing.

The best Everhour alternatives, ranked

The ranking reflects how well each tool covers what Everhour teams rely on: tracking against projects, budgets or invoicing, a fair price for a small team, and a working Mac app. Dayflow sits at number four because it only fits one kind of Everhour user, the solo one.

1. Clockify

Clockify is the most direct swap if you want team time tracking at a lower price. The free plan covers up to 5 users with unlimited tracking, timer, timesheet, calendar, reports, apps and an auto tracker in the desktop app.

Paid tiers are per seat:

• Basic: $3.99 per month billed annually ($4.99 monthly)
• Standard: $5.49 ($6.99 monthly), adding invoicing, time off and approvals
• Pro: $7.99 ($9.99 monthly), adding scheduling, forecasting, expenses, GPS tracking and activity monitoring
• Enterprise: $11.99 ($14.99 monthly), adding SSO and audit logs

Clockify also answers two of Everhour’s platform limits. It has desktop apps for Mac, Windows and Linux, and you can choose data hosting in the EU (Germany), the UK, the USA or Australia.

The limit: Clockify is mainly timer and timesheet based, and it lists no AI features. The vendor pages we checked don’t describe native project-tool integrations the way Everhour’s do. Confirm the one you depend on during the 7-day Pro trial, which needs no credit card.

Switch to it if you want to keep the team on one tool, pay less per seat, and have Windows or Linux users who need a desktop app.

2. Toggl (formerly Toggl Track)

Toggl now presents time tracking and planning as one product. The vendor calls Toggl Track and Toggl Plan legacy products that remain available to existing users.

Toggl is the closest match for teams that chose Everhour for its Jira or Asana connection. Both integrations are listed on the Premium plan, along with timesheet approvals and profitability reports.

Pricing has four tiers:

• Free forever for up to 3 users
• Starter: $9 per user per month billed annually ($12 monthly)
• Premium: $16 billed annually ($24 monthly)
• Enterprise: by quote

Paid plans come with a 30-day trial. The desktop app adds automated background tracking and a timeline, and the vendor states it does not take screenshots or record keystrokes. Toggl AI answers natural-language questions about workspace data, and there is also an MCP server and an AI Task Creator.

The limit: the integrations Everhour includes at $8.50 per seat billed yearly sit on a $16 plan here. Billable rates also need a paid plan.

Switch to it if you want planning, capacity and profitability in the same place as your hours, and the Premium price works at your team size. Our Toggl vs Clockify comparison covers the choice between the top two.

3. Harvest

Harvest is built around turning hours into invoices. Timers, daily and weekly timesheets, or calendar tracking feed into:

• Invoicing with online payments
• Expense tracking
• Team reports
• Accounting integrations such as QuickBooks and Xero

The site footer shows Harvest is now owned by Bending Spoons.

The free plan is unusually useful for one person: 1 seat and 2 projects, with time tracking, invoicing and expenses included and no seat minimum. Paid plans:

• Teams: $9 per seat per month ($108 per seat, billed annually) or $11 billed monthly
• Enterprise: $14 per seat per month billed annually ($168 per seat) or $17.50 monthly, adding profitability reporting and timesheet approvals

The trial runs 30 days without a credit card.

The limit: Harvest is timer and timesheet based. It lists no automatic activity capture and no AI features, and two projects on the free plan run out quickly.

Switch to it if invoicing is the reason you track time and accounting links matter more to you than project-tool links. Our Harvest alternatives guide covers the move in the other direction, and the real hourly rate calculator helps you check the rates you bill.

4. Dayflow

Dayflow changes the question from “which timer was running” to “what did I actually do.” It records the screen at one frame every 10 seconds and has AI write the day into a readable timeline. Full recordings and the timeline are stored on your Mac.

You choose where the analysis happens:

• Local AI: a model runs on your Mac through Ollama or LM Studio.
• Your own provider: selected screenshots go to a cloud provider you configure.
• Dayflow Pro: Dayflow handles cloud analysis and, under the privacy policy, deletes screenshots after processing.

The local and cloud processing page spells out each boundary.

The app is $0 and MIT licensed. Pro is optional at $20 a month. Dayflow runs on macOS 14 or later, and you can export any date range as Markdown, which is handy for building a timesheet without manual entry.

The limit: Dayflow is a personal record, not a team system. It has no invoicing, payroll approvals, team reports or website blocking, and it runs only on Mac. AI summaries can also miss or misread work, so check them before sharing.

Switch to it if you work alone on a Mac and Everhour’s timers were the part you kept forgetting. The automatic time tracking on Mac page explains how capture works.

5. TMetric

TMetric keeps the feature Everhour users tend to like most: a timer button inside the web apps you already use. The vendor says this works in 50+ of them, and apps cover Mac, Windows, Linux, iOS and Android.

The free plan covers up to 2 seats with unlimited time tracking, unlimited clients and projects, exportable reports and API access. Paid plans:

• Professional: $5.83 per seat per month billed annually ($7 monthly), adding client invoicing, billable rates and project budgets
• Business: $7.50 billed annually ($9 monthly), adding team timesheets, time off, Jira, Redmine and ClickUp integrations, and app and site monitoring with activity levels and optional screenshots
• Enterprise: custom pricing

The trial is 14 days and can be extended by 7.

The limit: TMetric is mainly timer based, and the free plan keeps only 7 days of activity data. The monitoring features on Business also change how the tool feels for the people being tracked. If that matters, read time tracking without surveillance first.

Switch to it if you want budgets and invoicing at a lower per-seat price than Everhour and your project tool is Jira or ClickUp.

6. Paymo

Paymo turns Everhour’s model around. Instead of adding time tracking to your project tool, it is the project tool. It combines tasks, invoices, estimates and expenses, plus Kanban, Gantt charts, scheduling and leave planning on higher plans.

Time can come from several places:

• A stopwatch timer
• Manual or bulk timesheet entries
• A Pomodoro timer
• Paymo Track, a desktop app that records time spent in desktop apps in the background

The vendor says Paymo Track’s automatic records are stored locally on the computer, you choose which entries get logged, and no screenshots are taken.

Pricing:

• Free: 1 user, 1 client, 2 projects and 1GB of storage
• Solo: $5.9 a month billed annually or $9.9 monthly
• Plus: $10.9 per user per month billed annually or $15.9 monthly
• Pro: $16.9 billed annually or $23.9 monthly

On the date checked, new monthly customers got a lower price for the first three months. The trial is 15 days with no card.

The limit: integrations and API access start on Plus, and switching means moving your projects as well as your hours.

Switch to it if you’re ready to drop the separate project tool and want automatic desktop tracking and invoicing in one account.

Alternatives by reason for leaving

• You’re one person paying for five seats, and you bill clients: Harvest, which is free for 1 seat with invoicing.
• You need Jira or Asana integrations plus planning and profitability: Toggl Premium.
• You want the lowest price per seat: Clockify.
• You need desktop apps on Windows and Linux, or a specific data region: Clockify.
• You want an in-app timer button and budgets for less per seat: TMetric.
• You keep forgetting timers and work alone on a Mac: Dayflow.
• You want project management and automatic desktop tracking in one place: Paymo.

When should you stay with Everhour?

Stay if your team has five or more people and already lives in Asana, Jira, ClickUp, Linear or one of Everhour’s other connected tools. None of the alternatives here match its combination of integrations, budgets with alerts, invoicing, expenses, scheduling and SSO in a single tier at $8.50 per seat per month billed yearly.

Toggl gets you Jira and Asana, but on a $16 plan. TMetric is cheaper, but its listed integrations are Jira, Redmine and ClickUp, not the full set. Clockify is cheaper still, but you’d be giving up the in-tool timer that probably drew your team to Everhour.

Stay also if your team is all on Mac and always online. In that case, the desktop app’s limits don’t affect you.

If the only problem is forgetting to start timers, it may be worth watching the AI Tracker early access before moving a whole team. It was not generally available on the date checked, though, so don’t plan around a release date.

Where Dayflow is the wrong pick

Dayflow solves a narrow problem: one person on a Mac who wants to know what they actually did, without timers. Outside that problem, other tools win.

• You bill clients from tracked time. Dayflow has no invoicing. Harvest is the better choice.
• Your team tracks inside Asana or Jira and managers need reports. Dayflow has no team reports. Stay on Everhour, or move to Toggl Premium.
• You need timesheet approvals or payroll data. Dayflow has no payroll approvals. Clockify has approvals from Standard.
• Anyone on the team uses Windows or Linux. Dayflow is Mac only. Clockify covers all three desktops.
• You don’t want anything capturing your screen. Toggl states it takes no screenshots and records no keystrokes, which makes it the better fit.
• Your Mac runs something older than macOS 14. Use a web-based tracker such as Clockify instead.

The bottom line

Most teams leaving Everhour should try Clockify first. It is free for up to 5 users, cheaper per seat when you pay, offers desktop apps beyond Mac, and lets you pick a data region.

Teams that can’t give up Jira or Asana integration should compare Toggl Premium against simply staying put. Freelancers whose hours turn into invoices will find Harvest’s free plan covers more than Everhour’s. TMetric suits budget-minded teams on Jira or ClickUp, and Paymo suits teams ready to replace their project tool entirely.

If you work alone on a Mac and the real problem was never the price but the timer itself, Dayflow gives you a timeline of your day without starting anything. It costs $0, and the record stays on your machine.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a free alternative to Everhour for one person?

Yes. Harvest's free plan gives one seat and two projects with time tracking, invoicing and expenses. Clockify is free for up to 5 users, TMetric for up to 2 seats, and Paymo for 1 user with 2 projects. Dayflow is free and MIT licensed for automatic tracking on a Mac, with an optional $20 a month Pro plan for managed cloud analysis.

Can I use Everhour's paid plan as a solo freelancer?

You can, but the Team plan bills a minimum of 5 seats, at $8.50 per seat per month billed yearly or $10 billed monthly, so a solo user pays for five. The free plan covers up to 5 seats but excludes integrations. Freelancers who mainly need invoicing often fit Harvest's free plan or Paymo's Solo plan better.

Which Everhour alternative works with Jira and Asana?

Toggl lists Jira and Asana integrations on its Premium plan, at $16 per user per month billed annually or $24 billed monthly. TMetric lists Jira, Redmine and ClickUp integrations on its Business plan, at $7.50 per seat per month billed annually or $9 monthly. If deep project-tool integration is the main need, staying on Everhour may still cost less.

Is Dayflow a good Everhour replacement for an agency?

Usually not. Agencies use Everhour for budgets, invoicing, team reports and timers inside Asana or Jira, and Dayflow has no invoicing, payroll approvals or team reports. For an agency, Everhour itself, Harvest for invoicing or Toggl for planning and profitability will beat Dayflow. Dayflow fits individual people at the agency who want a private record of their own day on a Mac.

Does Everhour track time automatically?

Not by default. Everhour logs time from timers and manual entries, either in its own projects or inside connected tools. The vendor advertises an AI Tracker that detects work without a timer, but on October 4, 2026 it was offered as early access only, and no generally available AI feature was described on the pricing page.

Where does Everhour store my data?

Everhour says it hosts on AWS in Oregon in the US and Frankfurt in Germany, with data replicated across the two regions. If you need a specific region, Clockify lets you choose hosting in the EU (Germany), the UK, the USA or Australia. Dayflow keeps recordings and the timeline on your Mac, with analysis on-device or in the cloud depending on the mode you choose.

What is the cheapest Everhour alternative for a small team?

Clockify, on the prices published on October 4, 2026. It is free for up to 5 users, and paid plans start at $3.99 per seat per month billed annually or $4.99 monthly. Invoicing begins on Standard at $5.49 billed annually. TMetric comes next, with Professional at $5.83 per seat per month billed annually and invoicing included.

Is Toggl Track still available?

The product is now presented as Toggl, combining time tracking with planning, and toggl.com/track redirects to toggl.com. The vendor describes Toggl Track and Toggl Plan as legacy products that remain available to existing users. New sign-ups get Toggl, with a free plan for up to 3 users and paid Starter, Premium and Enterprise plans.

Does Everhour have a Windows desktop app?

Not yet. Everhour's desktop app is macOS only, and the vendor lists Windows as planned. Windows users can still use the web app, mobile app and browser extension. If your team needs desktop apps on several systems, Clockify, TMetric and Paymo list Mac, Windows and Linux, while Toggl and Harvest list Mac and Windows.

Does Dayflow upload my screen recordings?

Full screen recordings and the timeline stay on your Mac. With local AI through Ollama or LM Studio, screenshot analysis stays on-device too. If you use your own cloud provider or Dayflow Pro, selected screenshots are processed off-device. Under the privacy policy, Pro deletes screenshots after processing and may retain activity data for sync, and your own provider's terms apply to it.
