Plan Optimistically.
Deliver in Reality.

One source of truth: the time you log. Projected dates move themselves, and invoice lines assemble from the same entries — automatically, as a byproduct of recording the work.

Step 1 — Define

Task definition — scope, estimate, assignee, dates

Define the work.

Break the project into tasks that produce something tangible. Meetings, coordination, and admin go in their own bucket. Capacity gets measured against reality, not a 40-hour fiction.

Creating the plan

Step 2 — Plan

Time Flow Gantt — task placed against dependencies

Optimistically plan.

Drop tasks onto the Timeline, or let logged time place them for you. Either way, the status of every project is one view away.

Mapping out the work

Step 3 — Log

Time entry — logging against a task on the calendar

Log the time.

Time entry — timer, calendar, or list — flows into the project plan as a byproduct of being recorded. There's no separate process; every time entry updates the plan.

Estimate meets reality

Step 4 — Measure

Burn projection adjusting from logged reality

Resolve the Overhead.

Logged hours resolve against estimates, overhead is measured, cards move themselves. No manual guesswork — accrued time is the recalculation.

The plan becomes a measurement

Step 5 — Deliver

Epic ledger — closed and in-flight tasks with hours

Close the task.

Conflicts and overruns resolve in real time. Early signals let you adjust proactively, not reactively. The plan stays on track and on budget.

Early signals mean better decisions

Step 6 — Billing

Invoice assembled from logged time entries

Invoice the client.

The same entries that drove the projection assemble the invoice. Nothing moves between systems; the bill is the work itself, summarised.

No manual reconciliation

From the founders

Two founders, three jobs — and the same question every day.

As a professional developer and team leader over the last 30 years, I've been asking myself the same question: where is the time going and is it being spent wisely? The usual answer was, I rarely knew. Meetings dragged, projects drifted, fingers pointed, but nobody had the full answer.

I got tired of asking, so in 2025 — while working as contract developers and renovating a 250-year-old millhouse in rural France — my ACCA/MBA partner and I built AbleTime.

Now we know. You can too.
