Design studios & creative agencies
Good work takes the hours it takes — until the fixed fee runs out. Timix.AI watches every project's budget while your team designs, and answers "where did the hours go?" with a report clients actually trust.

Illustrative entries
01 The problem
Studios don't lose money on bad work. They lose it on round four of revisions nobody counted, discovered after the project closed.
Creative work resists estimates: rounds of revisions, "one small change", scope that grows politely. On a fixed fee, every untracked hour comes straight out of the studio's side of the deal — and nobody notices until the project post-mortem.
When a client questions the retainer, "trust us" isn't a report. Without clean hours by project and task, the conversation turns defensive — and the relationship pays for it long after the invoice clears.
Designers didn't join a studio to fill in timesheets. If logging time interrupts the work, the work wins and the data loses — so the tool has to be near-invisible, or the numbers simply won't exist.
02 How Timix.AI fits
The team barely touches it; the budget never leaves your sight. That's the whole trade.
Set a fixed budget or hour caps at Project, Task, or SubTask level, with soft limits that warn and hard limits that stop. Alerts fire at thresholds you choose, computed from live hours — so you renegotiate scope at 80% of budget, not at 130%.
Budgets at 3 levels — Project, Task, SubTask — with live budget health on the dashboard.
A persistent timer, a week grid with Copy Last Week, and Timix.AI: "log 3 hours on the Hartwell rebrand" is a complete timesheet interaction. No setup ceremony, either — structure fills itself in.
If a task has no subtasks, Timix.AI auto-creates one — nobody builds hierarchy just to log an hour.
Hours by project and task, exported as PDF or CSV, carrying your studio's logo and brand color. When the retainer question comes, the answer looks like it came from your studio — because it did.
Logo and brand color in-app on every plan; branded PDF exports on Professional and Business.
Run an ongoing care retainer as Time & Materials with an hour cap, a rebrand as Fixed Price tracked against its cost, and pitch work and studio admin as Overhead so it never muddies the billable picture.
Each engagement carries its own billing type — T&M, Fixed Price, or Overhead — so retainer burn and rebrand margin compute on their own terms.
03 Try it on a live project
Create a workspace, set a budget on one real project, and watch budget health move as the hours land. By the end of the week you'll know exactly where the fee stands — and so will the team.

04 FAQ
Only what you choose to send. There's no client portal and clients never log in — you export branded PDF or CSV reports of hours by project and task, and share those. You control exactly what the client sees.
You set the budget once — a fixed amount or hour caps, at Project, Task, or SubTask level. Soft limits warn, hard limits stop further entries, and alerts fire at thresholds you pick as live hours accumulate. The overrun conversation happens while there's still fee left to protect.
The entry paths are built for people who resent timesheets: a persistent timer, a week grid with Copy Last Week, duration or start/end entry — and on all paid plans, Timix.AI files an entry from one plain sentence.
Yes. Upload your logo and set a brand color — they apply in-app on every plan. On Professional and Business plans, PDF exports and team invitation emails carry your branding too.
