How Freelance writers use Temporal.ist
Per-piece time tracking
One folder or one Notion subpage per piece; sessions auto-attribute. End of month: per-outlet, per-piece hours.
Editorial revision trail
See drafts vs revisions vs final-pass time. Argue with editors armed with data, not memory.
Per-outlet profitability
Effective hourly rate per publication. Drop the unprofitable ones, double down on the rest.
- Tracks time editing .docx, .md, Notion, and Google Docs — both local files and tabs.
- Per-piece billing without manual timer discipline.
- Editorial workflow friendly: drafts, revisions, edits all attributable.
Writers don't bill in 6-second increments. They bill per piece — but knowing if a piece is profitable still requires knowing how long it took.
Built for freelance writers
You write for half a dozen outlets. Some pieces pay $400 and take 4 hours; some pay $400 and take 14. You can only fix the second case if you know which one happened. Temporal.ist watches your writing files (Docs/Markdown/Notion tabs) and tells you, after the fact, where you actually spent the week.
Pricing for freelance writers
Free during early access. Solo writer plans will be priced friendly.
