Automatic time capture · AI planning
Time, captured.Clarity, delivered.
New is a calm web app for freelancers and consultants. It captures how your day actually unfolds, then turns that signal into billable clarity and plans worth keeping—so you log less and understand more.
Built for independents who bill by the hour or project—and lose revenue to incomplete logs.

Block deep work tomorrow morning. Meetings cluster after 11:00am—protect 9–11 for billable focus.

The real cost
Traditional timers ask you to remember the work.
Every extra click to log time is a quiet failure. New starts from the opposite assumption: capture first, then help you interpret what matters.
01
The forgotten timer
You meant to start it after the call. You didn’t. The invoice becomes a guess, and the day feels thinner than it was.
02
Tabs without a story
Twelve apps, three clients, one blurry afternoon. Dashboards show activity. They rarely show what was billable.
03
Planning from memory
Tomorrow’s calendar is full of optimism. Without a true picture of today, priorities stay loud instead of true.
Product
A quieter day board for people who bill their time.
Focus hours, billable share, project mix, and AI notes live in one calm surface—close to a journal, sharper than a generic tracker.
- Automatic capture that reduces manual timer friction
- AI that interprets activity into clients, priorities, and blocks
- Exports and reports shaped for invoices, retainers, and admin
Auto-capture first
Built against the friction of start/stop timers. Less tapping. More trustworthy hours.
Clarity over guilt
Insights should help you invoice and focus—not score your worth as a productivity scoreboard.
Honest, editable AI
Suggestions come from real activity and stay transparent. You remain the final editor.
Made for solo operators
Opinionated for freelancers and consultants who juggle clients, retainers, and tax season alone.
How it works
From scattered activity to a day you can stand behind.
Free core capture for habit. Paid AI planning, richer reports, and deeper integrations when the value is obvious.
01
Capture without the ritual
New watches the shape of your workday—signals from the tools you already live in—so logging stops being a second job.
02
AI turns noise into meaning
Raw activity becomes client, project, and focus blocks you can edit. Suggestions stay grounded in what actually happened.
03
Plan from truth, not hope
See billable clarity, reclaimable gaps, and a calmer next-day plan—built for independents, not enterprise surveillance.
Compared
Less manual logging than Toggl. More planning than a dashboard of history.
RescueTime knows you were busy. Clockify knows what you typed in. New is for the freelancer who needs both accurate hours and a sane plan for tomorrow.
