5 FREE Time Tracking Apps For Freelancers (and teams)

6 years ago when I started Freelancing I thought time tracking apps are evil. 😈

Now they are saving me hours by the end of the month when I'm doing my invoices.

A Thread πŸ§΅πŸ‘‡
1️⃣ Klokki

@KlokkiHQ My personal favorite, it sits in my tray unnoticed. It's really easy to start/stop work sessions. If you work for multiple clients it's really easy to organize your different sessions in folders.

The only downside: Mac only. πŸ₯Ά

klokki.com
2️⃣ Clockify

Clockify is a time tracker and timesheet app that lets you track work hours across projects. Pricing: free forever, unlimited users.
You can also use it as a team and track team activity, create invoices, and much more. My next best pick.

During my career, I looked at dozens of job applications from Junior developers. Some portfolios were soo good, I still remember them.

Today I'm giving you 6 tips on How to Stand Out with Your Job Application as an Aspiring Developer and make it to the interview!

Thread πŸ§΅πŸ‘‡
1. Unique Project

I don't remember all the unique projects, but I do remember copies.
If there's a Pokedex in every repo, make a searchable list of SpaceX launches.

Here's a repo of free APIs: github.com/public-apis/pu…, add a bit of imagination and you already have my attention.
2. Version control (Git)

9/10 candidates will have a single commit in their GitHub repositories:

"initial commit"

If you put in the extra work and further tweaked a default app just give meaningful messages to your commits like:

"updated port"

"changed button to green"
