Frequently asked questions
Common questions about Ceum — from what it does to getting started.
What is Ceum?+
Ceum is a solo business workspace for freelance client work: track your hours, invoice your clients, and keep income, expenses, subscriptions, clients, projects, tasks and documents in one place.
Who is Ceum for?+
Ceum is built for solo freelancers, technical consultants and independent operators doing client work — developers, designers, and people running a one-person business. Every workspace is personal, designed around one person rather than stretched to fit teams.
What can I do in Ceum?+
Time tracking with insights and pivot reports; money — income and expenses, invoices you send to clients, and your own recurring subscriptions; clients and projects with attached documents; and tasks on configurable boards.
Which platforms is Ceum on?+
Ceum runs in the browser as the full workspace, with a standalone command-line app for the terminal and a Chrome and Firefox extension that covers the timer alone — start, stop and edit the running session from the toolbar. The native mobile apps are pending platform approval and are not on the stores yet — the Android build is available for internal testing today, so write to support@ceum.app to get access. iOS follows once the App Store review and policy overhead is cleared.
Does Ceum support teams and collaboration?+
No, by design. Ceum is a single-person workspace — one workspace, owned by one person, with no shared accounts, seats or assignees. That is what keeps it small and fast instead of turning into agency software. To bring someone else in, share a read-only link — an invoice, task, board, document, transaction, your calendar, or a generated PDF or export file; they open it in a browser with no account.
Is there a free trial?+
Yes. Every new account starts with 14 days of the Pro plan, so the assistant, MCP access and the command line are all available while you try it. No credit card is required. When the trial ends you pick a paid plan or continue on the free plan.
How does billing work?+
There's a free plan to get going, and paid plans — billed monthly or yearly — as your needs grow. Plans can be changed or cancelled at any time. The pricing page shows what each one includes.
Can I connect Ceum to other tools?+
Ceum exposes a Model Context Protocol (MCP) endpoint, so the in-app assistant Rocky and external tools can read and update your workspace. A standalone command-line app (install with npm i -g @ceum/cli) drives the same operations from your terminal. Connecting an external tool and signing in to the command line both need an MCP token, which the Pro plan issues.
Can I import and export my data?+
Yes. An import wizard reads a CSV or spreadsheet into any of seven record types: clients, projects, tasks, time entries, transactions, invoices and subscriptions. Your data stays yours — it can be exported back out whenever you need it.
How is my data and privacy handled?+
Analytics are strictly opt-in and nothing is collected without consent. See the privacy policy for details on how data is stored and used.
