Pain Points

Why freelancers lose money on every project

Manual timers demand constant discipline. Real work doesn't. These are the three gaps that quietly drain your revenue.

Forgotten hours

You finished a client feature at 11pm, closed your laptop, and billed what you could remember in the morning. Research shows freelancers underestimate logged time by 20–30% — that's real money left on the table, every project, every month.

🔀

Context switching overhead

Jumping between three client projects in a day is normal. Accurately accounting for each 12-minute slice across Figma, Slack, and a code editor is not. Manual timers require you to remember, stop, restart — most freelancers don't. The time vanishes.

⚠️

Invoice disputes

A client questions a line item and you have no backup — just a number you typed. Without a timestamped record of what you were actually working on, the conversation ends badly. Disputes erode trust and waste hours you'll never bill for.


How It Works

Automatic tracking in three steps

No timers to start. No tabs to switch. SnapSight runs quietly in the background and handles the bookkeeping.

01

Capture

SnapSight takes a screenshot every few seconds while you work — automatically, in the background. You never interrupt your flow to log time.

02

Classify

A local AI model (Florence-2, running entirely on your device) reads each screenshot and maps it to the right project. No cloud upload, no manual tagging.

03

Export

Pull a Project Time Report: hours per project, broken down by day. Attach the CSV to your invoice. Done — with a paper trail your clients can't dispute.

Free plan includes full AI classification. Export requires Pro ($5/mo). See all features →
