frequently asked questions

Can PlanHourly help me track time for different translation clients?

Yes! Use color-coded categories to distinguish between clients at a glance. While PlanHourly focuses on planning rather than time tracking, you'll have a clear visual record of how you allocated your time across different projects.

What happens when a client sends urgent revisions that mess up my planned day?

Simply drag tasks around your schedule to accommodate urgent work. PlanHourly's visual interface makes it easy to see what needs to be moved and helps you communicate new timelines to other clients.

As a freelance translator, I work irregular hours depending on deadlines. Is this flexible enough?

Absolutely. Each day starts fresh in PlanHourly, so you can plan different schedules based on your workload. Set up recurring blocks for regular clients, then customize individual days as needed for rush projects.
