Finally know what your
time is worth.
Built by creatives, for creatives. Automatic time tracking that runs in the background so you can see real-time project stats, find your pain points, and quote with confidence.
I run a studio →the problem
Quoting without data costs you.
Most editors price projects on gut feel. That gut feel is almost always too low. Without knowing your real hours, every quote is a guess.
the pattern
Some projects quietly eat 3× more time than they pay for.
A project looks easy until you see the hours. Cut Time shows you which project types actually drain your time so you can fix the price next time.
the confidence
With your real data, you quote with confidence.
When you can see your actual hours per project, per week, per month, you set rates that match your output. No more second-guessing.
How it works
Download the app.
A one-click install that lives quietly in your menu bar. No account needed to start, no configuration, nothing to set up.
Open your project.
Cut Time detects Resolve, Premiere, After Effects, and Final Cut automatically. No timers. No clocking in. Just edit like you always do.
See the truth.
After a few sessions your dashboard tells you what you've really been earning per hour, which projects bleed time, and where to raise your rate.
