Question about my old way of tracking time versus what I do now

For my first two years freelancing, I just wrote down my hours in a notebook and guessed at the end of the week. Last month, I finally started using Toggl to track everything by project. The difference is crazy, I was undercharging by like 15 hours a month because I'd forget small tasks. I switched after a tax bill showed I made way less than I thought. Has anyone else found a specific app that made their billing way more accurate?

My tax bill last year was the same wake up call.

My 2022 return still gives me nightmares.
