siftware.devKnow where your agency's time and money go
Projects, time, the team's schedule and every client's budget, in one place. In the browser, and in a native app for iPhone and iPad.

Most agencies find out too late
The hours leak. A call here, a quick fix there, and nobody logs any of it until Friday.
The plan said the work would be done by Tuesday. It is now next Thursday, and the budget went somewhere in between.
Meanwhile the client's work lives in a board, a spreadsheet, somebody's inbox and a chat thread nobody can find.
We had all of that. So we built the thing that fixes it.
A timer that keeps going
Start it from the task on your phone and walk into the meeting. The timer runs on the server, so it keeps counting whatever your phone does, and it is still running when you sit back down at your laptop.
Forgot to start it? Quick-log puts time against any task from anywhere in the app, billable or not.
On a Linux desktop, Snag sits in the tray and does the same from the keyboard. Mac next.
The whole month on one screen
People down the side, working days across. Who is booked on what and who is off, with the bank holidays already in.
Capacity starts from the money. Each stream of work has a client and a budget in days, set against the days your people actually have. If the month does not fit, you know at the start of it.
Planned against actual, while it still matters
The dashboard puts hours by client next to what was planned, so an overrun shows up while there is still time to do something about it, not when the invoice goes out.
Choose the widgets you want on it. The support queue can live there too.
Catch it before it goes
Something comes up on site or in the corridor. Open the app and it goes straight into today's note: a photo, a file, whatever is on your clipboard, or a file from Nextcloud.
Back at your desk, today's note is a canvas. Turn what you caught into a task or a doc there.
Every project in your pocket, signal or not
Your projects and tasks go where you go. No signal on the train? Keep working, and it syncs when you are back.
On iPad it opens out into a sidebar layout made for the bigger screen.
And at your desk
- Projects and boards
- A list and a kanban board for every project. Drag cards between columns.
- Canvas
- Notes joined by lines. A note becomes a task or a doc, and a line between two tasks becomes a dependency.
- Docs
- The team's knowledge base, with revision history. Every article has an owner and a review date, so the stale ones get flagged.
- Support from email
- Mail to your support address becomes a ticket. Replies thread back onto it, and the team answers from the app.
- Inbox agent
- Reads incoming mail, sorts it and learns your rules from the answers you give it.
- Companies and contacts
- Who the work is for, and who to talk to there.
- Keyboard first
- Ctrl or Cmd and K jumps anywhere. Press the question mark key for the rest.
- REST API
- Tokens per person or per agent, each with only the permissions it needs. Our own automation runs on it.
We run Siftware on it
Siftware is a small web agency. siftware.dev is the first thing we open in the morning: our projects, our time, our clients and our capacity planning all live in it.
Every feature on this page is one we use on real client work. When something gets in our way, we fix it, because we are the ones it is getting in the way of.
It is built on Laravel and React, with automated tests on every change, and we back up before every release. Looking after other people's software is what we do for a living. This one is ours.
