Use cases

Built for any team that bills time.

The shape of the work — clients, projects, deliverables, hours — looks the same across very different industries. mawobe ships defaults that make sense and configurability for the parts that don't.

Creative & marketing agencies

You sell time and ideas. Spreadsheet timesheets bleed margin; full ERP suites are overkill.

  • Track every hour against the right client and SOW so retainer reports write themselves.
  • Per-project hourly rates with client-level defaults — change one number, every new project inherits it.
  • Profit reporting that ties tracked hours to billable rates without exporting to Excel.
  • PDF + XLSX timeline export so client status updates stop being a Friday-afternoon scramble.

Consulting firms

Mid-engagement scope creep is the silent killer. Estimates have to live next to the actuals.

  • Estimates on every project, milestone, and task — and a tracked-vs-estimate read on every screen.
  • Workspace roles tuned for partners, managers, consultants, and analysts. Not just admin/member.
  • Activity log captures the audit trail your engagement letters require.
  • Workload view shows who has bandwidth before you sign the next SOW.

Design studios

You think in deliverables, not tickets. The tool should reflect that.

  • Milestones with workspace-configurable areas of focus — "Brand", "Photography", "Web" — that you set, not us.
  • File attachments at every level (client, SOW, project, task) backed by S3-compatible storage.
  • Comments, @mentions, and a notification bell so feedback loops don't live in email.
  • Native desktop app keeps the timer one click away, regardless of which Figma tab has focus.

Software shops & dev consultancies

Estimates matter even when you're shipping in two-week sprints. Especially then.

  • Subtasks up to three levels deep so an epic-shaped task can stay a single thread.
  • Task dependencies (blockedBy / blocks) so you can model the actual delivery order.
  • Per-task estimates aggregate to milestones and projects — variance shows up before retro, not after.
  • Optional SOW layer for fixed-price contracts; time-and-materials projects skip it cleanly.

Architecture & engineering

Phase-based work, multiple disciplines, fee letters that demand exact tracking.

  • Milestones map naturally to phases (SD, DD, CD, CA) without a hardcoded process.
  • Per-discipline areas of focus on tasks and milestones — tweak the labels, the schema doesn't care.
  • Per-project budgets and hourly rates so principals can compare burn against fee at any point.
  • Activity log on clients, SOWs, projects, and members for a clean audit trail.

Construction PM & contractors

Budgets, change orders, and a clear paper trail — without tying yourself to a heavyweight ERP.

  • Workspace-configurable status sets — "Pending RFI", "Submittal review", "On hold" — instead of generic todo / in-progress / done.
  • Polymorphic file attachments at the client / SOW / project / task level for plans, RFIs, change orders.
  • Multiple status sets per workspace so commercial work and residential work can carry different vocabularies.
  • Per-project hourly rates inherited from client defaults, overridable per project.

Freelancers & solo operators

You don't need a 200-feature platform. You need to bill correctly and deliver on time.

  • Free during early access. No seat math, no AI add-on tier.
  • Client → project → task hierarchy that scales from one project to fifty without restructuring.
  • Native desktop app + system tray timer means tracking takes one keystroke.
  • Export PDF and XLSX timelines to send clients without designing a status report from scratch.
