Repetitive WakaTime work Flann takes off your plate
These are the jobs that come back every day or every week. Message Flann instead, and keep the decisions for yourself.
Getting billable time ready to invoice
Today
Agency and consultancy work depends on billing the time you tracked. Pulling each client’s billable entries out of WakaTime and checking them against the project is slow, so invoices go out late.
With Flann
“How much billable time for Harbour Studio is in WakaTime and not invoiced yet?”
Every billable entry for that client is pulled from WakaTime, grouped by project and person, with anything missing a description marked. You get a summary ready to turn into an invoice.
What you stop doing: Combing through time entries before every invoice is no longer needed.
Answering “where are we with my job?”
Today
Clients ask for updates at awkward moments. To answer, you open WakaTime, find their project and piece together what has happened since you last spoke.
With Flann
“Where are we on the Morgan bathroom refit in WakaTime? Draft an update for the client.”
In WakaTime, Flann reads the project’s finished, current and waiting tasks and writes a plain-English update the client will understand, without internal notes or jargon. You see the draft in the chat.
What you stop doing: Piecing together a client update from the board yourself is over.
