About this plugin
CalcularIA Lite is a focused time-tracking plugin for WordPress administrators. It adds a floating timer to wp-admin, calculates the value of worked time from an hourly rate, and stores completed sessions in the local WordPress database.
The Lite edition is deliberately small: it works without an account, license key, or external service. It is useful on its own for freelancers, site maintainers, support teams, and administrators who need a simple record of billable work.
Included features
- Floating work timer available throughout wp-admin for administrators.
- Pause, resume, finish, save, reset, and compact controls.
- Hourly-rate and currency configuration.
- Client name, client email, project/site, work type, and internal notes.
- Persistent local session history with Pending, Billed, and Discarded statuses.
- Dashboard totals for today and the current month.
- Manual session start: Lite never starts timing automatically when the timer loads.
- WordPress admin-bar time and amount indicator.
- Public non-persistent calculator through [calcularia_lite_calculadora].
- Suggested privacy-policy text.
- No external data transfer.
Lite and commercial editions
CalcularIA Lite does not contain disabled premium modules or premium code. A separate commercial edition is available from the author’s website. CalcularIA Pro is a separate plugin that adds multiple concurrent timers, automatic start options, frontend timers, additional WordPress roles, advanced billing rules, mobile positioning, CSV export, CobrarIA and WooCommerce billing, Elementor widgets/templates, and private frontend summaries.
The commercial edition is not required to use CalcularIA Lite.
Privacy
CalcularIA Lite stores work-session information in the WordPress database. Depending on use, this can include a WordPress user ID, site URL, customer name and email, project, work type, timestamps, duration, hourly rate, calculated amount, status, and internal notes.
The unfinished timer state is also stored in the current browser so a session can survive page navigation inside wp-admin. CalcularIA Lite does not send this data to an external service.
Completed session records remain stored until an administrator deletes them or uninstalls the plugin. Site administrators should define an appropriate legal basis, retention policy, and access policy for customer and work-session information.
