    TBH, if something like invoice ninja isn’t working for you, even the paid hosted version, then maybe just use PayPal?

          Employee/employer relationship is normally more formalised with contracts and wages. This is to ensure that the employer isn’t taking advantage of loopholes.
          Chances are you will get classed as a “disguised employee” if you are freelance and invoicing only 1 client.

          But I don’t know employment law where you are. I know the US and UK have laws about this, chances are EU does as well.

            Freelancers with only one client are fine. More about who controls how and when the tasks are accomplished.

    My friend and I have been building just such a program for a while now. We are both self employed software devs and we didn’t have a clean way of tracking time, so we started building something that just did that at first, but it’s evolved a lot since then. However, it’s still very much in development so customisation is limited, but the core stuff all works. Now granted, it doesn’t use docker, it’s just a stand alone program and currently doesn’t have cloud support (we are working on it), but I can absolutely send you a copy if you wanna try it out.
