Track time with a single click

todo.vu can track every minute spent in your creative business–whether it’s time spent on a client-related or in-house task.

A simple click is all it takes to start and stop the timer and record your hours.

Never miss a billable moment

todo.vu tracks your time at your chosen hourly rates. Your hours will always have a value unless they’re marked as non-billable.

See everything

Time is tracked directly to tasks in todo.vu, which are linked to clients and projects. No time goes unaccounted for.

This means you enjoy valuable business insights on project and team progress, workflows, processes, habits, patterns and trends.

Charge your way

Prefer to charge a flat rate rather than an hourly rate for creative projects? No problem!

Use todo.vu to track your time and progress and identify patterns and trends in the way you work. That way, you’ll know exactly what you need to charge to be profitable–there’s no guesswork or estimating required.

Manage tasks, time & clients

todo.vu is task and project management, simple CRM, billing, and time tracking for creatives wrapped up in one tool that’s simple to use.

Conveniently manage consulting and agency work in just one place.

Make invoicing easy

Time tracked in todo.vu is recorded at an hourly rate and, if desired, with detailed notes.

That means you can create clear, accurate bills in todo.vu in minutes that neatly detail what work was completed, to which task and project it belonged, and when and at what rate it was done.

Visualize your work

Every task can be managed in a visual, Kanban-style to-do list which easily maps your workflow and organizes your work for every client and project quickly and clearly.

Never miss a task or a deadline again, and keep your team on track and up to date with real-time commenting on tasks, convenient client access and automatic email-to-task features.

Get paid what you deserve

todo.vu will calculate time and cost totals for you, but you can choose what your clients see on their bill. If you want to show them the hours worked and not the hourly rate, you can.

todo.vu can be used standalone or with invoicing software; attach digitized bills to your invoices as a unique URL. Your clients are unlikely to dispute what you’ve charged them when they can clearly see the ‘why’ behind every minute.

And easily bill for that time

 

  • Get accurate billing as todo.vu calculates time & cost totals to tasks, projects and clients based on your tracked time
  • Add your logo and branding to your billing report
  • Attach to your client invoices with a unique URL

Because I used so many different tools before I found todo.vu, I wasn’t truly committed to any of them, and I’d often forget to log my billable hours. As soon as I started using todo.vu, I realised how much money I was losing because I was doing this!

Now, I can easily log all my billable hours and get paid accurately. I can also provide my clients with detailed reports that show exactly how long it took me to complete their tasks. I like how professional the billing reports look with my logo, which I easily attach to every invoice I send.
