Put the Hours on the Card

Every task on your client board shows who tracked how much time on it, billable and non-billable, so status and cost sit in the same place.

The Board Says Done. The Cost Says Nothing.

01

Status and cost live apart

The board tells you a ticket moved to done, and nothing tells you it took eleven hours.

02

Hours land in a timesheet, not on the work

Consultants book against a project, so nobody can say which task ate the budget.

03

Tickets go quiet and nobody notices

A card sits untouched for three weeks and only surfaces when the client asks about it.

04

No clean record when hours are disputed

The client questions a line on the invoice and you rebuild the history from memory and chat threads.

One Board, Hours Included.

Your delivery view and your time record are the same screen.

  1. Lay the client work out in columns

    Create a board per client or project, add columns for your delivery stages, and move or reorder cards as work progresses.

  2. Time attaches to the task

    Each card carries its total time split into billable and non-billable, broken down by consultant, and shows who is tracking on it right now.

  3. See what a ticket is waiting on

    Cards show what blocks them and what they block, with the counts visible before you open anything.

  4. Bring your existing backlog with you

    Import a task list from a CSV file up to 5 MB and watch the rows arrive as they land.

  5. Pull the right person in

    Mention a colleague in a description or comment and they get a notification; cards also take tags, checklists, reactions and images.

For The Days It Gets Messy.

The board is built for real client work, including the parts that go sideways.

Stale cards raise their hand

A task untouched for 14 days is flagged as ageing; set a different number of days per column, or switch ageing off for columns where waiting is normal.

Deleting is reversible

Removed cards go to a trash for 30 days where you can restore them, and only then are they gone for good.

Comments keep their history

An edited comment keeps its earlier versions, so a changed answer never quietly replaces the original one.

Imports tell you what they skipped

After a CSV import you see how many rows were skipped as duplicates and how many had no title, counted separately.

The hours you see on a card are the same hours that burn your project budget. Budget Tracking

Common Questions.

Does the time show per task or only per project?

Per task. Every card shows its own total, split into billable and non-billable, and broken down by the consultants who worked on it.

Can I see who is working on a ticket right now?

Yes. A card marks the consultants who are currently tracking time against it, alongside the totals they have already logged.

How do I move an existing backlog onto the board?

Import it from a CSV file up to 5 MB. Progress is visible while the import runs, and you get a count of any rows skipped as duplicates or missing a title.

What happens to tickets nobody touches?

They are flagged as ageing after 14 days by default. You can raise or lower that per column, or turn it off for columns where a card is meant to wait.

Can I recover a card someone deleted by mistake?

Deleted cards sit in the trash for 30 days and can be restored from there. Permanent deletion is a separate, deliberate step.

Can I tell what a ticket is blocked by?

Each card records what blocks it and what it blocks, with the counts shown on the card itself.
