Show HN: Tymr – simple time tracking and invoicing for freelancers

I freelance part-time and wanted a very simple flow: start timer, stop timer, generate invoice.

Most tools I tried felt team-oriented and heavy for my use case, so I built Tymr: https://tymr.digital

Current functionality: - persistent timer (tab switch/refresh safe) - entries with billable/non-billable + rates - invoice generation and PDF export

Built with Next.js + Supabase.

I’d love feedback on: 1) what’s missing for your freelancer billing workflow 2) what would make this trustworthy enough to replace your current tracker

Nice work on the UI, the invoice creation flow looks clean. For anyone reading who's on the other side of this (receiving invoices rather than sending them), the pain point is slightly different: you get PDFs or email invoices and need to log them into a spreadsheet for tracking.

A few approaches that work: Zapier + Gmail filters for structured emails, a simple Apps Script that parses email bodies, or add-ons like AutoInv that use AI to extract fields (invoice number, amount, dates) directly into Google Sheets. Each has trade-offs depending on your volume and format variety.
