The end of the unbilled hour.
If it's on the board, it's on the bill.
You did the work. The research, the revisions, the call that ran long. Aeto ties every task to your invoice automatically — so nothing you've earned quietly disappears.

Freelancers lose money in the gaps between apps.
Research in one place. Time in another. Invoice built in a spreadsheet from memory. At every handoff, hours quietly fall through the floor.
01 — Research
The session you forgot to log.
Two hours deep in a Figma file. You meant to start the timer. You didn't.
~2h 00m — $280
02 — Revisions
The round you started before remembering.
You opened the file, made the edits, sent it back. The timer never came up.
~1h 20m — $186
03 — Calls
The call you tracked — and lost.
Logged in your head, never made it to the spreadsheet, never made it to the invoice.
~0h 45m — $105
04 — Switching
The mental tax of reassembling it later.
Friday afternoon, trying to rebuild a week you only half-remember.

• THE FIX
Aeto closes every gap. One app, one workflow, nothing left unbilled.
From first task to final invoice. Nothing in between gets lost.
Every step of the workflow connects. What's on the board ends up on the bill — because the board, the timer, and the invoice are the same thing.
Step
01
Put the work on the board.
Add a client, create a project, break it into tasks. Every task is a future invoice line item from the moment you type it.
Step
02
Track time on tasks, not just projects.
Start the menu bar timer from anywhere on your Mac. Every second attaches to the right task — not a vague project bucket you'll have to sort out later.
Step
03
Invoice for what actually happened.
When it's time to bill, Aeto shows exactly what was done and for how long. Turn tracked time into a professional invoice in one click — no manual entry, no memory required.
Step
04
Log payment. Move on.
Mark invoices paid and track outstanding balances in the payments ledger. Know where every client stands without opening a spreadsheet.
The timer you'll actually use.
One click from anywhere on your Mac.
The Aeto menu bar app lives in your top bar, always one click away. Start tracking the moment you start working — no window switching, no context lost.
Every session attaches to a specific task on your board. So when it's time to invoice, the time is already where it needs to be.
Every tool you need. Nothing between you and the bill.
Aeto is built for the moment the work starts — not the proposal, not the contract. Everything here connects your work directly to your invoice.

Answers to the questions we get most.
Everything you're likely to ask before you download the trial.
Q.01What does Aeto do?
Aeto is a Mac and web app that combines freelance project management, task-level time tracking, and professional invoicing in a single application. It connects those three functions so tracked time flows directly into invoices without any manual data entry.
Q.02How much does Aeto cost?
Aeto costs $10 per month. The annual plan is $100 a year (two months free), and no credit card is required to start the 30-day free trial.
Q.03Does Aeto work on Mac only?
No. While there is a native macOS desktop Aeto app that requires macOS 12 or later and supports Apple Silicon, a web version is also available.
Q.04Does Aeto replace my project management and invoicing tools?
For freelancers who need project management, time tracking, and invoicing, Aeto is designed to replace all three. It is not built for teams or enterprise project management at this time.
Q.05Is there a free trial?
Yes. Aeto includes a 30-day free trial with no credit card required. After the trial, a subscription of $10 per month is required to continue.
Q.06How automated is it?
You can choose to enable drag-and-drop timing. Just move a task from 'To Do' to 'In Progress,' and your timer automatically starts running.
Q.07Can I run multiple timers at the same time?
No, the timer works with the task you're actually working on.
Q.08Can I see all outstanding invoices across every client in one place?
Yes. The Aeto payments ledger shows every invoice across all clients with its current status: paid, partially paid, or overdue.
Q.09What does the Aeto dashboard show?
The dashboard shows your key business numbers at a glance: unbilled amount for the current month, total outstanding invoices, amount collected to date, active projects, recent time entries, and upcoming deadlines.
