Ruby on Rails Flagship product

Mood Logger

Plan your clients’ work. Track every hour. Know what it’s worth.

My most polished Ruby on Rails product — a planner and time tracker for freelancers and small studios juggling several clients. Live in production, free to start.

  • Daily planning — a timeline of 15-minute blocks, colour-coded by client.
  • One-tap timer — runs across every page and on your phone, side by side with the plan.
  • Hours reports & quotes — per-client totals at each rate, PDF/CSV export, and quotes priced from past work.
  • Teams — shared clients and projects with roles, comments and a task board.
