Why freelancers switch from Clockify to Nocta
- Clockify's UI is cluttered. It was built for agencies, so even basic tracking is hidden behind menus, workspaces, and dropdowns.
- No earnings view. Clockify tracks hours, but doesn't show you what you've earned in real time the way Nocta does.
- No Apple Watch app. If you live on iOS, Nocta is built around it — Apple Watch, Lock Screen timer and Live Activity all included.
- Built for one person. Nocta doesn't ask you to set up a workspace, invite team members, or pick a role — you just start the timer.
When to choose Clockify instead
- If you need a truly free plan with unlimited projects and users.
- If you need a desktop app for Windows or Linux as your primary tracker.
- If you work in a small agency and need a shared workspace.
- If you need timesheet approvals and time-off management in one tool.
A simpler tracker — built for you
Free for 2 projects. No setup wizard. No team invites. Just start the timer.
