Track time spent on projects and tasks with a running timer, manual entries, and weekly reports.
The prompt
Copy this prompt and paste it into Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, Codex, or any AI tool connected to Hatchable via MCP.
Build a time tracking app for freelancers and professionals. Users create projects, then track time against them using a start/stop timer or manual time entries. Each entry records the project, task description, start time, and duration. The dashboard shows a running timer at the top, today's entries below, and a weekly summary bar chart on the right. Include a reports page with filters by project and date range, showing total hours and a breakdown table. Support an hourly rate per project to calculate earnings. Deploy it on Hatchable when done.
How to use this template
Connect Hatchable to your AI tool
Add Hatchable as an MCP server in your AI tool of choice. You'll need your API key from Console → Settings. See our setup guides for Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex.
Copy the prompt and paste it
Hit the Copy button above, switch to your AI tool, and paste. The prompt is written to produce a complete, deployable app using Hatchable's platform features.
Your AI builds and deploys it
Your AI writes the code, creates a project on Hatchable, and deploys it. You'll get a live URL you can share immediately — no server setup, no billing.
Customize it
After the initial build, try asking your AI to add any of these:
Add CSV export for invoicing
Include a browser idle detection that pauses the timer
Add team members and shared project tracking
Include Pomodoro mode as an alternative timer style
