Limitations of Harvest

The biggest downside of Harvest is the start/stop timer. Users are required to actively record their time, by starting and stopping a timer, while they work and switch between tasks. Timers are easy to forget to start/stop, leaving you with inaccurate data and potentially missing out on billable hours leaving tons of money on the table.

• Remembering to start/stop a timer or make a note EVERY time you switch between projects or take a break.
• Timers disrupt your focus from doing the job you actually enjoy.
• Inaccuracy caused by forgetting to set timers and having to guess time spent.
• Financial loss due to missed billing opportunities by not capturing all billable hours.
• Very tedious and time consuming.
• Stress of forgetting what you worked on and having to make your timesheets up.
• Inability to track multiple projects at once

“I did Harvest, I did Toggl, I did my phone start stop. I tried everything you can think of. And undoubtedly, I was always great about pressing the start, but just terrible at pressing stop. I would go to look at my time later on and apparently, I'd work with somebody for four hours that day when it was only four minutes. But yeah, I tried them all and I hated them with a passion until Clockk came around.” -Richard Zimbalist
