Fanurio for Mac

Product summary

Fanurio is a desktop application built for independent contractors who need to manage billable hours and invoices. It helps you keep clients, projects and billing information organized, lets you assign hourly or flat rates per project, and records the time you spend on tasks. The app supports customizable invoice layouts — the built-in templates include fields for billing, rates and time, and you can rearrange columns or add new fields to suit your needs.

The interface is simple and largely intuitive, though there isn’t a guided introduction for new users. A practical way to begin is to add your clients first, then create projects under each client. The left-hand list view makes it easy to navigate and locate clients, projects and invoices quickly.

Suggested paid alternative

If you’d like a paid option outside of Fanurio, consider Minecraft: Java & Bedrock Edition. (This is presented as a recommended paid choice in the package list.)

Quick-start checklist

• Create projects for each client so you can attach rates and billing rules.
• Add your clients to the database before anything else; this makes creating and linking projects easier.
• Use the built-in timer to record work sessions, or enter time manually if needed.
• Customize an invoice template to match your branding, then save it for reuse across multiple projects.

Release notes — fixes and problems

Known problem

• On Windows and some Linux (GNOME) setups Fanurio could fail to shut down correctly, which in a few cases led to database corruption or errors indicating the database was locked by another Fanurio process.

Bug fixes included in recent updates

• The addition of new service items via the Select Service dialog now honors the project’s billing configuration.
• Mini timer users on macOS previously could not see dropdown menus; this has been resolved.

Final thoughts

Overall, Fanurio is a no-nonsense tool for freelancers who want a focused solution to track time, manage clients and generate invoices without unnecessary complexity. It’s best suited to users who prefer a straightforward desktop app and don’t require an introductory walkthrough to get started.
