Assign team members, share notes and files
Every project has dedicated tabs for Notes, Files, and Activity. Assign team members so everyone knows who is responsible. An activity feed tracks every status change with a full audit trail of who changed what and when.

- Full audit trail of every change
Time logs and invoices, connected to every project
Track time directly against projects, then see those hours reflected on linked invoices. Hours, cost, and revenue are visible on the project page. Filter time entries and invoices per project to know exactly what was billed and what is still outstanding.

- Time logs and invoices linked in one view
How it works
Three steps. That's it.
No setup wizards, no onboarding calls. Just start using it.
Create a project

Assign and track work
Add tasks, assign team members, and track progress across kanban, list, or timeline views.
Bill and close
Time logs and tasks feed into invoices. Mark milestones complete and archive when done.

Common questions
What billing types are supported?
Fixed price, retainer, and hourly. Each type tracks differently — fixed shows completion %, retainer tracks periods, and hourly calculates from logged time.
Can I see a Gantt chart?
Yes. Switch to Timeline view for a Gantt-style chart. Drag to reschedule, resize to change duration, and group by status or assignee.
How does auto-completion work?
Project completion percentage is calculated automatically from linked task progress. As tasks are completed, the project progress updates in real time.
Can I link invoices to a project?
Yes. Create invoices from a project and they stay linked — so you can see total invoiced vs. project value at a glance.
Is there a project limit?
No limit on projects. Archive completed ones to keep your active list clean.
