Warren gives your team a clear view of what's happening, what's due, and how the budget is holding up — without the six-figure JIRA bill or a three-week onboarding.
You don't need to be a design studio. If you have a team, projects, deadlines, and a budget — Warren was made for you.
Manage client projects from pitch to delivery, track burn rate against retainers, and keep everyone's schedule visible at a glance.
Sprint planning without the JIRA overhead. Use Kanban to move tickets through stages and timeline to balance dev load across a release.
Campaign planning, content calendars, and agency management — all in one board. See who's overloaded before they burn out.
Run multiple client engagements at once with clear per-project budgets, burn forecasts, and shareable progress views for your clients.
Track studies, initiatives, and ops projects on a shared timeline. Log effort against tasks and see utilization across the whole team.
Get the project visibility of an enterprise tool without the enterprise price tag or the six-week setup. Warren is ready in minutes.
Warren gives you the full picture — schedule, budget, time, and team — without stitching together five different tools.
Switch between a weekly Timeline, a Kanban status board, and a Gantt project view — all powered by the same data. Drag assignments to reschedule. Hold ⌥ to duplicate.
See burn rate, forecast overruns before they happen, and know exactly what's been invoiced vs. what's still unbilled.
Drag cards between custom columns. Move work from Backlog through to Done without leaving Warren.
Break each project into Epics, then run a Kanban board inside each one. Assign tasks with priority, due dates, and statuses. Keep the conversation in context with task comments and a per-task activity feed.
Your team types @warren log 2h on website redesign and it's done. No forms, no friction, no forgotten timesheets. Self-hosted Slack bot — server code and app manifest available on Gumroad.
Two-way Harvest sync keeps time entries and invoices in lockstep. Teams reporting posts weekly summaries to any channel. External integrations are self-hosted on your own server.
Keep Warren in step across every Mac on your local network. Peer-to-peer sync lets you push a full snapshot after every save and pull on launch — no server, no account, no middleman.
Admins see everything. Managers see all projects and budgets. Designers see their own schedule. No information overload, no data leakage.
Is the team over capacity? Which project is eating the most hours? Who hasn't logged time this week? Warren's utilization heatmap, project donut chart, and weekly trend graph answer all of it — instantly.
Enterprise tools are built for enterprise bureaucracy. Warren is built for teams who want to get things done.

"We switched from JIRA after three years and set Warren up in an afternoon. The timeline view alone saved us two hours of meetings a week."
"Our team lives in Slack. The hour logging bot changed everything — we actually have accurate timesheets for the first time in five years."
"The burn rate forecast flagged a project going over budget two weeks early. We adjusted scope in time. That feature alone paid for Warren ten times over."
Set up in under 10 minutes, with no credit card, no sales call, and no enterprise contract.
