Time management
If you invoiced hourly, you'd already see the value of your time; it'd be on every invoice. It's the flat-retainer folks who are flying blind. This isn't hourly billing. It's seeing what your hours actually cost you, so a client can't quietly eat your margin without you noticing. Your calendar does the tracking; you just read the answer.
The objection, answered
Right, and that's the trap. A retainer is a fixed price for an unfixed amount of your time. The moment the hours creep up, your real rate falls, and nothing on a retainer tells you it's happening. You feel busy and assume it's fine. It usually isn't.
$8,000 a month at 20 hours is $400 an hour. At 35 hours it's $229, below what you'd quote a new client. Same retainer, half the rate, and no invoice ever showed you the drop.
You're not tracking time to bill it. You're tracking it to see where your most valuable, finite resource is going, so you can price the next renewal right, or gently pull a client back to scope.
No timers, no timesheets, no new habit. Connect the calendar you already keep, and the hours-per-client add up on their own. If it turns out every client is fairly priced, great: now you know.
Use cases
The week files itself as it happens. Every meeting lands on the right client automatically, and manual entries cover the rare off-calendar work.
Hours burn down against each client's contracted allotment. When Dunder Mifflin's bar fills by the 12th, you can steer the month instead of donating it.
"We delivered 138 hours against 120 contracted" is a rate conversation your own calendar wrote. No guesswork, no rounding down out of guilt.
One platform
Every feature reads and writes the same client records, so nothing gets entered twice.
Free during the private beta. Setup takes a couple of clicks, and the last 90 days fill in on their own.
