Hourvy — Time Tracking & Payroll for Small Businesses with Hourly Workers

What Is Hourvy?

Hourvy is a lightweight time tracking and payroll tool built specifically for small businesses that employ hourly workers. It replaces the messy mix of WhatsApp messages, manual spreadsheets, and guesswork that most small business owners use to manage worker hours and pay.

The promise is simple: clock in, calculate pay automatically, mark paid — all in one place. No complex setup. No accounting software. No app to download.

Who Is Hourvy For?

Hourvy is built for small business owners who:

• Manage 2 to 20+ hourly workers across a team

• Are currently tracking hours through WhatsApp chats, texts, or notebooks

• Pay workers via cash, bank transfer, or direct deposit — not automated payroll

• Need to know who is owed, how much, and whether they've been paid

• Want something that works from a phone browser — no IT setup required

This is not enterprise payroll software. It does not file taxes or process payments. Hourvy is a tracking and visibility tool — and that's exactly what makes it useful.

The Problem It Solves

Most small business owners with hourly workers face the same three pain points:

1. Hours tracked in the wrong place
Hours buried inside WhatsApp threads, screenshots, or handwritten notes make reconciliation a weekly nightmare. Nothing adds up cleanly at the end of the week.

2. Manual pay calculations with room for error
When every worker is on a different rate, a single math error means someone gets shorted or overpaid. Neither is a good outcome.

3. No clear record of who got paid
"Did I already pay Maria?" Without a payment log, payday turns into a guessing game built on memory and trust.

Hourvy eliminates all three problems with one clean workflow.

How Hourvy Works — Three Steps

Step 1 — Workers clock in from their phone
Business owners add workers to their Hourvy account. Workers receive a shared link and can clock in or out from any phone browser — no app to install, no account to create. Alternatively, the business owner can manage all hours manually.

Step 2 — Hours and pay calculate automatically
Every worker has their own hourly rate set in the system. As hours roll in, pay is calculated in real time. Overtime is flagged the moment a worker crosses the configured daily or weekly threshold.

Step 3 — Mark paid when payment is made
After paying a worker — whether by cash, bank transfer, or any other method — the owner marks them as paid, unpaid, or partial. Hourvy keeps a running balance so there is never any ambiguity about what is owed.

Key Features

Pricing

Hourvy uses a single, transparent pricing model with no tiers and no feature gates.

• $1 per active seat per month

• One active worker = one seat

• Every feature is included at every seat count

• 30-day free trial — no credit card required

• Cancel anytime

For a business with 10 workers, that is $10 per month for a complete time tracking and pay visibility system. There is no cheaper category in this space for what Hourvy delivers.

What Hourvy Does Not Do

Transparency matters. Hourvy is clear about its scope:

• It does not process payments or transfer money

• It does not file payroll taxes or generate tax forms

• It does not require workers to create accounts or download anything

It tracks what is owed and what has been paid. Payment itself happens through whatever method the business already uses.

Data and Privacy

• All data is encrypted in transit and at rest

• Data is never sold to third parties

• Users can export or permanently delete their data at any time

Verdict

Hourvy fills a gap that most payroll software ignores — the small business owner who does not need a full payroll system, but desperately needs something better than WhatsApp and a calculator. At $1 per seat per month with a 30-day free trial and no credit card required, the barrier to entry is almost zero.

If you manage hourly workers and payday still feels like a guessing game, Hourvy is worth trying today.
