Built for trades & freelancers

Win the work. Run the job.
Get paid.

Four small, sharp apps — a proposal builder your clients sign on their phone, a time tracker that bills the way you actually bill, invoicing that follows through, and books that stay reconciled. No bloat. No learning curve. No accounting degree required.

The apps

Four tools. One job: your job.

Each one does its thing completely — pick the one you need today, add the others whenever you're ready.

Proposal

Win work, beautifully.

Proposals that look like you hired a designer — scope, pricing, timeline, terms. Add optional line items your client can pick from, send one link, and they sign right on their phone. You see the moment it's opened.

Track

Every billable minute, captured.

One-tap timers and a clean weekly view. Set your billing rules once — 1-hour minimums, round up to the half hour — and every entry lands invoice-ready — built so nothing slips through between the job and the bill.

Invoice

Get paid, on your terms.

Quotes, a job board, invoices and payments in one flow. Clients accept a quote from a link and it becomes a job on your board — automatically. Recurring invoices, named discounts, and statements are all built in.

Books

The books, kept.

Cash-basis books without the bookkeeping degree. Drag in your bank's CSV, categorize in one tap, and watch deposits reconcile against your invoices — Stripe fees and all. P&L, quarterly tax estimates, and accountant-ready exports, always current.

Running more than one? Dash ties them together — one live dashboard of money, pipeline, and what needs attention across the whole suite.

Watch it work

See a job go from signed to paid.

No tour video, no screenshots from marketing — the whole flow, playing out the way it does in the apps: win it, bill it, file the receipts, keep the books.

Standalone or connected

Use one. Or let them talk.

Every app is complete on its own — no feature held hostage. Subscribe to more than one and they start working as a crew.

1 On its own

  • Proposal sends, tracks and collects signatures — a complete proposal tool, start to signed.
  • Track tracks time, applies your billing rules, and even makes simple invoices by itself.
  • Invoice runs quotes → jobs → invoices → payments as a full standalone billing system.
  • Books keeps clean cash-basis books from your bank's CSV — categories, P&L, tax estimates, accountant exports.
  • Start with the one that hurts most today. Nothing else required.

Connected

  • A signed proposal shows up in your invoicer, ready to bill — scope, options and discount carried over exactly as the client accepted them.
  • Tracked hours pull straight onto invoices, grouped by project, at the right rate, with your rounding rules already applied.
  • Everything billed is marked billed everywhere, so the unbilled pool stays truthful.
  • Bank deposits reconcile against invoices by themselves — a Stripe payout matches net of fees, and the fee books itself as an expense.
  • One client list, one source of truth for money, zero copy-paste between apps.

No forced bundle — the connections light up with your subscription, and switch off just as cleanly.

The details

Small touches that add up.

🏭

Industry presets

IT & MSP, software, creative, photo & video, machine shop, contractor, landscaping and more — pick once and get a catalog, rate tables, templates and bookkeeping rules that speak your trade's language.

Rate-table estimator

Price from a grid — material × thickness, or whatever your shop uses — straight into a quote line.

Recurring invoices

Retainers and maintenance plans bill themselves on schedule. You just hit send.

🧾

Tax-season ready

Books exports your Schedule C totals as a .txf that desktop TurboTax, H&R Block and TaxAct import directly — or hand your accountant the clean CSVs.

Bring your data with you

Import clients from any CSV export, time from Harvest, Toggl or Clockify, and transactions straight from your bank. Switching shouldn't sting.

🎨

Your brand everywhere

Upload your logo, pick your color — the apps and every client-facing page wear your business, not ours.

🏦

No bank hookups

Books run on your bank's own CSV export — no Plaid, no handing out bank credentials, ever.

🔒

Your data is yours

Clients and numbers stay your business. Private links use long random tokens that are practically unguessable, and your data is never sold or shared.
