The Money Loop

All five workflows, one tool.

Most freelance stacks are five tabs, a spreadsheet, and a March panic. HourSlip is one continuous loop — your tracked hours become your invoices become your tax filings become the ITR pack you hand your CA. Nothing gets re-typed.

01
Track

Log hours your way, on every device

One-click timers, Pomodoro mode, weekly timesheets, or log directly from your Google Calendar. Mobile, browser, anywhere.

From tracked time to GST-ready invoice

Six layouts for every scenario — domestic, export, retainer, milestone. CGST/SGST/IGST auto-split. UPI QR on the share page.

Reconcile

Cross-reference every deduction with Form 26AS

Track TDS deductions in a 4-state worksheet — matched, pending, mismatch, unmatched — by section (194J / C / H / O / 195). Resolve discrepancies before March, not in it.

From the founder

Why I built HourSlip.

Why a freelancer built a finance tool for Indian freelancers — and the promise behind it.

I freelanced for Indian clients for years — and dreaded every March, rebuilding a whole year of GST, TDS and invoices from a folder of PDFs.

HourSlip is the tool I wished existed: one ledger that tracks your hours, raises GST-correct invoices, and keeps your tax filing-ready — in rupees, April to March.

Every hour you spend reconstructing your books is an hour you weren't paid for. HourSlip gives that time back — handling the GST splits, TDS and advance tax the way India actually works, so March stops being a scramble.
