Hustled runs quietly in the background and turns your workday into time entries you can bill. No timer to start. No timer to forget. And no screenshots kept, ever.
You did the work on Tuesday. By Friday, you’re piecing it together from memory. The little things disappear. So does the time you could have billed.

SMALL APP. ONE LESS THING.
You work. Hustled does the remembering.
From your first coffee to your last email. No starting, stopping, or “I’ll fill it in later.”
01
GO ABOUT YOUR DAY
It notices the work.
Hustled starts with Windows and keeps track of the app or window you’re working in. Quietly, in the background.
02
MAKE SENSE OF THE SWITCHING
It pieces your day together.
All those little app switches become useful blocks of time, matched to the right project or client by rules you can read.
03
GIVE IT A QUICK ONCE-OVER
You review. And you’re done.
Hustled suggests where each block belongs. Accept them in one go, fix anything that’s off, and get on with your week.
↗
Ready for wherever your invoice goes.
Export a CSV timesheet, see the month at a glance, or send each project’s day to Rizqo. Round billed time to 6, 15 or 30 minutes if you like. Your own records stay exact.
Less admin, all round.
YOUR TIME. YOUR BUSINESS.
A time tracker. Not a watchtower.
Your work history lives on your computer. We can’t see your day unless you choose to show your finished hours online. Neither can your boss, unless you choose to share it.
No stored screenshots or keystroke logging
No camera, microphone, or file contents
No productivity scores. No looking over shoulders.
Kept on your computer.Right where your day belongs.✓
Just enough to count.
The app name, window title, website name, and active time. The contents stay out of it.
Your history stays local.
Our servers hold your account and subscription details. Your tracked work stays with you, unless you switch on the web portal to see your finished hours in a browser, or connect your own AI assistant to read your totals.
Share on your terms.
Tracking works offline. Export, sync or show your hours online when you’re ready to send them.
Lunch is lunch. Let it be lunch.
REAL WORK. REAL HOURS.
Gaps stay gaps. And that’s a good thing.
Close your laptop. Take a walk. Make another coffee. Hustled won’t quietly turn your time away into billable work.
Stopped means stopped.
Idle time stays separate. Clock changes never add an extra hour.
Was that a call?
Listening on a call looks quiet. When you come back, Hustled asks, and you pick the project. It never adds the time on its own.
One total you can stand behind.
The same honest number on screen, in your report, and on your invoice.
LESS TO THINK ABOUT
One plan. All the good stuff.
No feature maze. No upgrade to unlock the useful bit. Just a little app that earns its place in your day.
Give it a proper go.
If Hustled isn’t for you, get a full refund within 30 days. No reasons needed.
The name of the app you’re using, its window title, the website’s name if it’s a browser, and when you’re active. In apps that call every window by their own name, like Claude or ChatGPT, it asks the app for the open chat’s title, the way a screen reader would. It never records what you type, a picture of your screen, your clipboard, file contents, camera, or microphone. An optional Screen text setting, off unless you turn it on, reads the heading of a window that names nothing else, on your computer, and keeps that one line, never the picture.
Do I have to start a timer?+
No. Once you’ve installed Hustled and signed in, it starts with Windows and works from your system tray. Your day fills in while you work.
Can my employer see my activity?+
Your tracked work is stored on your own computer. Your employer can’t see it unless you choose to share your hours. The web portal, which shows your finished hours in a browser, is off until you switch it on.
How does it know which client the work is for?+
Rules. A rule names an app, a website or words in a window title, and the project they belong to: Figma or Slack, with “Acme” in the title, goes to Acme. Rules are read from the top, so you drag the important ones up. A rule can file to one stage of a project, apply only between two dates, and file its matches by itself if you tick it. Hustled also proposes rules once it has seen you file the same kind of work a few times.
What about calls and meetings?+
A call you spend listening touches no keys, so Hustled sees a quiet stretch. When you come back, it asks whether that was a call and which project it was for. Nothing is added unless you say so. A reminder at the end of the day, which you can turn off, tells you if anything is still unfiled.
How do my hours get into an invoice?+
Review your entries and export a CSV timesheet or a monthly client grid, rounded to 6, 15 or 30 minutes if you choose. If you use Rizqo, one press sends each project’s day there as a single entry, or you can turn on automatic sync.
Is there a web portal?+
Yes, if you want one. Switch on Show my hours online in Settings and your finished time entries (a project, a description, when it started and ended, never which apps or sites you used) are copied to our servers in the EU, so you can see your timesheet and reports at portal.hustled.app. If you also tick the box for unfiled time, one total a day for time tracked and not yet filed goes too, a date and a number and nothing about what the time was spent on. It is off until you turn it on, and one button deletes everything we hold. Exactly what is sent.
Is there a Mac version?+
Hustled currently runs on Windows 10 and 11. macOS is next. Let us know you’re interested and we’ll tell you when it lands.
You can request a full refund within 30 days. Monthly billing can be cancelled whenever you like. See the refund policy for details.
