Every other tool gives you a dashboard and hopes you visit it. Build a report here and it rebuilds itself on the first of the month, makes the file, and puts a task on your Today with it attached. The number comes and finds you.
The reason your mileage goes unsubmitted isn't that the number is hard to find. It's that finding it requires remembering to look, on a day when nobody's asking — and the whole reason it's unsubmitted is that you're the sort of person who doesn't remember to look.
So business-intelligence tools sell you charts, and the charts sit there being correct. Meanwhile the actual failure is a small, boring, recurring administrative act that nobody chases.
I didn't need a better chart. I needed something that went and found the thing I was avoiding and put it in front of me with the file already made.
Answer the first two and you have a view — a saved way of looking at one instrument's records, sitting in its own rail. Answer all four and the same thing becomes a report that comes and finds you. One builder, and you can promote a view into a report whenever it turns out you keep forgetting to look.
Trips, time, tasks, tickets, meetings — then filter in sentences. Your own custom fields are in the list too.
By month, by client, by project, by vehicle, by person. The columns follow from what you picked.
Never — I'll ask — weekly · monthly · quarterly. On the day you choose, at 4am, with the rest of the morning's work.
Make the file, open a ticket, put a task on my Today, attach the file, email it. Every box independent.
On the 1st, gather every trip of mine I haven't submitted from before this month, by vehicle, make a .csv, and put it on my Today with a ticket.
The same job that writes the morning's rhythms runs your reports. You open the app and the work is already there — not a notification about it, the actual task, with the actual file.
And if there's nothing outstanding it writes nothing, opens nothing and says nothing. A report that only speaks when it has something to say is the only kind worth automating.
Neither did I, and that's exactly why this isn't reporting. There's no dashboard, no chart library, no KPIs and no monthly review ritual — because you have nobody to report to. What one person needs is different: the four or five recurring administrative acts that cost you money when they slip. Build a report for each, once, and then stop thinking about them.
Rows and totals. A chart is for persuading a room, and there's no room. There's exactly one chart in the product — a twelve-week strip on the Time page — and it draws no conclusions.
No targets, no last-month comparison, no “you're 12% down.” A report is a record of what happened, and it has no opinion about it.
Unlimited reports and unlimited views, including over your own custom fields — so every instrument shows your work the way you actually look at it. Copy any of them as a starting point.
Not in place — but every figure is clickable through to the entry behind it, and fixing that re-derives every report that touches it. Read here, edit there.
Unchanged, and it carries the date it was made. A file you handed someone is a fact about that day — silently rewriting it would be worse than the error.
Only if you name a recipient, and it's off by default. Nothing here mails anybody on a timer without you having typed their address into that report.
The reports still ran. The tasks are waiting, unstarred and un-aged, with the files attached — not four copies of an escalating reminder.
Not all of them — the single administrative thing that has cost you money by slipping. Four questions, about two minutes, and then it's the software's problem.
