Project management, time tracking, and invoicing: finally in one place.
Aeto is built around the way freelancers actually work: take on a project, track your time, and send an invoice. Every feature connects to that flow, and every task you complete becomes a ready-to-bill line item on your invoice.

Every task, every client, on one board.

One click from the menu bar starts tracking against the exact task you’re working on. No window switching, no lost context.
Invoicing
From tracked time to a sent invoice in seconds.

Most tools do one thing. Aeto connects all three.
A project manager that tracks time. A time tracker that generates invoices. A spreadsheet you don’t have to update manually at billing time. Aeto eliminates the gaps between those tools, so nothing falls through the cracks and no billable hour goes unrecorded.

questions we get most.
