JustClock for PhpStorm – Automatic Work Time Tracking for PHP Freelancers

JustClock for PhpStorm

Automatic Work Time Tracking for PhpStorm.

JustClock tracks the hours you spend on PHP projects in PhpStorm automatically — built with freelancers and agencies billing clients by the hour in mind.

No more reconstructing your day from memory before sending an invoice. Time is captured per project in minute-level intervals, exactly as it happened.

Built for Billing by the Hour

  • Tracks time per project, so every client invoice is backed by real, automatic data
  • No manual timesheets to fill in at the end of the day or week
  • Works the same across Laravel, Symfony, WordPress or plain PHP projects
  • Useful for agencies that need honest effort reporting across several developers and clients

The same plugin also works in IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm and WebStorm — see the full JetBrains family overview.
