Not a separate app you paste numbers into on a Sunday night. The bill is made of the same time entries you logged all month, priced at the rate that client is already on, with the unbillable work shown and not charged for.
Your quarterly total for that is one report away, and it's yours alone — nobody sees what you gave away unless you put it on a bill.
Sweep a client's billable hours from last month into a draft, grouped by project, with the task names on the lines so they can see what they're paying for.
Change a line, drop a line, mark something no charge. Rates come from the client, so there's no arithmetic to check.
A clean PDF their bookkeeper will accept, printed straight from the invoice. A client-facing link they can pay online is on the runway, landing with the billing pass.
Mark it paid in a click. Unpaid at 30 days puts one task on your Today — it doesn't email your client behind your back.
You're in the queue — first come, first served. I'll email you an invite when your turn comes up, and that's the only email you'll get. No marketing, ever.

Every invoice can show the work you didn't charge for, at no charge, right next to the work you did. Not as a discount line with a number crossed out — as a plain row saying what you did and that it's on you.
It is the single most persuasive thing on any invoice, it costs you nothing, and no invoicing app I've used makes it easy. In Cloudbase it's a first-class field, because unbilled work is the running cost of the work, not a failure.
Your quarterly total for that is one report away, and it's yours alone — nobody sees what you gave away unless you put it on a bill.
The people you invoice are people you'll see again. Nothing here will damage that relationship on your behalf while you're asleep.
Quoting a customer, their accept-or-ask-or-decline, and the chain from a yes into tasks — that's the add-on, because it faces the customer the same way their requests do. Billing your own tracked hours never will be. If you already know the work is happening, you don't need it. Both of the blue rows are the one Ground Control add-on, +$12 a month together, not each.
See Ground Control ›No, and it isn't trying to be. It bills for your time and mileage and hands your accountant a clean spreadsheet. Ledgers, payroll and tax filing are their job, and they're better at it.
Connect your own payment processor and it lands in your account, not mine. I never hold your money, and I don't take a percentage of it.
Yes — a fixed-price line for a flat fee or an expense, added by hand alongside the time. Pulling logged mileage straight onto an invoice is on the runway.
New projects are not billable by default, and unbilled clients read as invested rather than $0.00. You'd still want to know the studio move cost you eight hours.
The invoices, probably not. The rest of the money side, yes — Cloudbase divides a salary by the hours you actually logged and shows you what you really earn an hour.
Keep it. Export the month as xlsx or csv and paste it in — that's what the reports are for. Nothing here demands you move your billing to me.
That's the demo, and it's the only one that proves anything. Two weeks free, no card, and the invoices are in the $24 either way.
This is the short version of the site, cut down to what reads well on a small screen. The full thing — every instrument explained, the pricing configurator, the whole story — lives on the desktop site. So does the app: Cloudbase is meant to be worked from a real screen, at a desk, with your hands on it.
