Manage your freelance projects by client, by task, and by the hour.
In Aeto, every project has a client, every task has tracked time, and every logged hour flows directly into your invoice. No copying between apps. No manual reconciliation at billing time.

Add a client. Create a project. Track the work. Send the invoice.
The workflow that actually matches how freelancers work.
Add your client.
Add clients once with contact details, billing info, and notes. They're available across every project and invoice you create in Aeto.
Create a project.
Set a project name, type (hourly, flat fee, or unbilled), rate, and deadline. Aeto tracks internal time on flat-fee projects too.
Break it into tasks.
Add tasks to your project: deliverables, research, drafts, revisions, and calls. Each task is a line item in your work and a future line item on your invoice.
Track time on tasks.
Start a timer directly on a task. Every minute is logged to that task, that project, that client. When it's time to invoice, Aeto knows exactly what was done and for how long.
Move work forward on the Kanban board.
The Kanban board gives you a visual overview of every project's status across all clients. Move tasks from To Do through In Progress to In Review to Done as you work. Spot bottlenecks before they become problems.
See the state of your business at a glance.
The dashboard shows active projects, hours logged this week, upcoming deadlines, and recent invoices on a single screen. Everything you need to give a client an accurate answer about your availability — without opening a spreadsheet.
Fixed price doesn't mean untracked time.
Flat-fee projects still log internal hours. Aeto calculates your effective hourly rate on every fixed-price engagement, so the next time a client asks for a flat quote, you have real data to back it up — not a guess.
Questions about project management in Aeto.
Q.01Does Aeto have a Kanban board?
Yes. Aeto includes a Kanban board that displays tasks across all your projects and clients. Tasks move through To Do, In Progress, In Review, and Done columns.
Q.02Can I track time on individual tasks?
Yes. Every timer in Aeto is started on a specific task inside a specific project. Time is tracked at the task level, not just the project level, so invoice line items are generated automatically from that data.
Q.03Does Aeto support flat-fee projects?
Yes. Aeto supports both hourly and flat-fee project types. On flat-fee projects, Aeto tracks internal hours and displays your effective hourly rate so you can evaluate profitability and quote future projects more accurately.
Q.04Can I manage multiple clients in Aeto?
Yes. Aeto is built for multi-client freelance work. Each project is associated with a client, and the dashboard, list, calendar, and Kanban board display work across all clients simultaneously.
Q.05How is Aeto different from other freelance project management apps?
Most project management apps don't track time at the task level, and most time trackers don't generate invoices. Aeto connects all three: project management, task-level time tracking, and invoicing in one application.
Q.06What does the Aeto dashboard show?
The dashboard gives you a live view of active projects, hours logged this week, upcoming deadlines, and recent invoices — all in one place. It's designed so you can answer "how am I doing right now" in under a minute.
Your work is done.
Make sure you're paid for all of it.
