    Time tracking

    Track time the way your studio actually works

    Log hours against the exact client, project, and task — whether it's billed hourly, as a fixed fee, or drawn down from a monthly retainer. No more timesheets reconstructed from memory on Friday afternoon.

    Reporting & insight

    See margin before the client does

    Budget-vs-actual tracking flags a Time & Materials project the moment it crosses your threshold — before you've quietly eaten the overage. Utilization reporting shows which team members, and which clients, are actually profitable.

    Invoicing

    Retainers that bill themselves

    Set a retainer once and Wakti tracks consumption automatically — no spreadsheet reconciling hours against the agreement each month. When a project wraps, turn approved time straight into a client-ready invoice.
