As a freelance editor, I regularly switch between projects in a single session. Currently, third-party window trackers only log the total time spent in the programme itself. They cannot differentiate between distinct project files, leaving freelancers to estimate the exact hourly breakdown for client invoices.
I am requesting a native, project-level time tracker that runs only when a specific project is active and pauses during periods of inactivity.
Integrating this feature natively would eliminate the daily administrative friction of cross-referencing external trackers with project versions. Instead of estimating how a block of time was split between clients, editors would have a precise, automated log tied directly to the relevant project file. This ensures accurate billing and allows freelancers to evaluate their efficiency across different types of edits, making the platform a significantly more practical tool for professional use.
Beyond user convenience, this represents a clear commercial opportunity for your platform. Accurate billing is a universal administrative headache for independent creatives. By natively solving this problem, you would position your software as the obvious, preferred choice for the freelance market. You could easily promote the platform around the premise of 'editing software that protects your billable hours'. Integrating this tool creates a strong financial incentive for professional users to choose your workspace over competitors.
