Time tracking

Less time tracking. More time creating.

Good numbers need complete timesheets. Facture makes logging a day quick enough that people actually do it.

Under a minute a day.
A weekly grid, a timer, and yesterday's projects one click away.
Your calendar does half of it.
Meetings from Google or Outlook become time entries in a click.
A nudge, not a nag.
Facture for Mac and Slack remind people who are short before the week closes.
Write it once.
On hourly work, the note becomes the invoice line. Nobody rewrites "misc" at billing time.

Billing

Bill the way you sell.

Studios sell fixed fees, hourly work and retainers, often on the same project. Facture treats all three as first class and puts them on one invoice when they belong together.
