Plan Optimistically.
Deliver in Reality.
Basic timers tell you how long you worked.
AbleTime tells you how your work is progressing.
Two inputs. Two outputs. One loop.
Everything AbleTime does is downstream of these four moves.
Enter time
Timer, calendar, or list. Logging time is the only thing your team has to do.
Plan optimistically
Tasks, estimates, dependencies, dates. Your best guess at the shape of the work.
Project health, organically
Logged hours move estimates, schedules, and burn — automatically. No status meetings to update the picture.
Proactive, not reactive
See the overrun before it ships. Adjust scope, dates, or capacity while there's still time.
See it on your own work.
Drop your email — we're onboarding teams in small waves and you'll get a 60-day window inside the full product.
No credit card. No commitment.
Solving the right problems
Same engine, different framing. See the pain points, screens, and fit for your shape of team.
you manage the work — the plan manages itself
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
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
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
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
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
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 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
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 350-year-old millhouse in rural France — my ACCA/MBA partner and I built AbleTime.
Now we know. You can too.
