Features

A closer look at everything Ceum handles — your work, your hours, and your money.

Time tracking

Know where every hour goes

  • Live timer & logging

    Run a live timer as you work, or log entries after the fact. One timer runs at a time, and the count is taken from the start, so it survives a reload or a device switch.

  • Focus sessions

    Work in Pomodoro-style sequences of timed focus and short rests; each focus step becomes a time entry you can keep or discard.

  • Tagged entries

    Tag entries to slice reports by client or type of work. Link an entry to one or many tasks — it stays one duration, never double-counted.

  • Insights

    A date-ranged summary of tracked time — totals, a per-name breakdown and a daily timeline — exportable to PDF, XLS or CSV.

    See a sample insights PDF
  • Pivot reports

    Pivot tracked time by name, tag, project or task against days, months or years, with row and column totals.

Income & expenses

A clear ledger, categorised the way you work

  • Income & expenses

    Record income and expenses with amount, date and currency — optionally split into net and tax — each linkable to a client, project or task.

  • Cash-flow insights

    A running income and expense chart on the list, plus insights and period reports that break the money down by description or tag — viewable gross, net of tax, or tax only.

  • Receipt scanner

    On mobile, photograph a receipt and Ceum reads the amount, date and currency into an expense for you to review before saving.

  • Subscriptions

    Track recurring costs and income; on each renewal Ceum posts the matching transaction automatically — never twice, and it catches up on any it missed.

Invoicing

From a line item to a paid invoice

  • Build invoices

    Create full or proforma invoices; the client's billing details are copied onto the invoice and stay fixed, so a later edit never changes one you've issued.

  • Linked to your work

    Link each line item to the task it covers, and picking that task fills in the description. Available once the invoice has a project, since tasks are project-scoped.

  • Custom PDF templates

    Design the PDF — colours, logo, sections, labels, QR placement — save several templates, and mark one default.

    See a sample invoice PDF
  • Send & share

    Email the invoice from inside Ceum, or share a read-only link the client can open without an account.

    See how sharing works
  • Statuses & overdue

    Define your own statuses; overdue is worked out live from the due date and status, so a paid or rescheduled invoice clears itself.

Clients, projects & documents

Keep the context around the work

  • Clients

    Hold contacts, pipeline value and a follow-up schedule; rows surface by how soon a client needs attention.

  • Projects

    Attach a project to any number of clients — or none — and hang tasks, documents and invoices off it.

  • Documents in context

    Write Markdown notes linked to the clients and projects they belong to, searchable by text and tag.

  • Client mailing

    Send email to clients through Ceum with built-in templates; quick-send from a client, invoice or task pre-fills the right one, and every message is logged.

Tasks & boards

Plan and move work the way that fits

  • Multiple kanban boards

    Keep several boards, each with its own columns, filters, card layout and finished-task retention; drag to change status or reorder.

  • Configurable statuses

    Define the workflow stages tasks move through — rename, reorder, add your own, or scope them to a project.

  • Task types & custom fields

    Give tasks types that mark them billable, allowed at the top level, or usable as a subtask — each with its own text, multiline or date fields for whatever that kind of task needs.

  • Subtasks & priorities

    Break work into one level of subtasks that roll up to the parent, with priorities and start and deadline dates.

  • Relationships & dependencies

    Link tasks to tasks and projects to projects with typed relationships; mark some as dependencies to flag a blocked task on the board.

Calendar

Everything with a date, on one grid

  • Month & week views

    See your work in month or week view.

  • Tasks, events & renewals

    Overlay task spans, custom events (one-off or recurring) and subscription renewals as colour-coded layers you can toggle independently.

  • Quick edits

    Click a day to add an event or task; drag to reschedule.

  • Imported calendars

    Subscribe to read-only public ICS or webcal calendars to see external commitments beside your work.

Import

Bring your existing data in

  • Import from a file

    Upload a CSV or spreadsheet, map its columns to fields, and preview the rows before anything is created. Exports use the same shape, so data goes back in the way it came out.

    See a sample tasks CSV
  • Start with your history

    Bring existing transactions, clients and invoices in when you set up, so past work carries over from day one.

  • Review before it lands

    See exactly what will be created and fix any mismatches first — nothing lands until you confirm.

Across your whole workspace

The tools that span every entity

  • A dashboard you arrange

    Open on a dashboard of tiles you choose — pick which appear, how wide each one spans, and in what order.

  • Tags

    One set of colour labels applied across clients, projects, tasks, invoices, subscriptions, transactions, time entries and documents — filter anywhere by any of them.

  • Global search

    Find clients, projects, tasks, invoices, documents, sent emails and help articles from one box, and jump straight to any ID like T-7.

  • Quick lists

    A keyboard-driven scratch checklist beside your work, autosaved and synced across your devices.

  • History & version control

    Documents keep their edit history — every change archives the previous version, so you can preview and restore any of the last 50 — and clients, projects, tasks and invoices record who changed which field, and when.

Alerts

Everything asking for attention, in one place

  • One action list

    One page collecting overdue invoices and tasks, flagged invoices, tasks and projects, and clients due for a follow-up.

  • Clears itself

    Nothing to dismiss or file away: alerts are worked out live from the dates and statuses, so paying an invoice or moving a deadline clears the alert by itself.

  • Client follow-ups

    Give a client status a follow-up window and a client that has gone quiet for that many days surfaces here on its own.

  • Visible where you work

    The same signals show up where you already are — a count in the sidebar, a highlighted row, a marked board card — and each category can be switched off in settings.

Bulk edit

Change many records in one reviewed pass

  • Select what you need

    Select rows on any list — or the whole page at once — and open them together for editing.

  • Apply to all, or one by one

    Set a value once and apply it to every selected row, or edit rows individually in the same table — mixed edits in one pass.

  • Reviewed before it lands

    A review step lists exactly what will change — and what you marked for deletion — before anything is written.

  • Across four entities

    The same wizard covers tasks, time entries, transactions and subscriptions, so the pattern is learned once.

Sharing

Show a single item, read-only

  • Read-only links

    Share one invoice, task or kanban board as a link anyone can open without a Ceum account — they see the content and nothing else.

  • Expiry & revoke

    Add an optional expiry and revoke a link at any time; a board link always reflects the board's current state.

  • No account needed

    Recipients open the link in a browser with no sign-up; it carries an unguessable token, shown once when you create it.

Automation & integrations

Drive Ceum from the tools you already use

  • MCP integration

    Ceum runs a Model Context Protocol server, so tools like Claude Desktop or Cursor — or your own agents — can read and write your workspace through token-scoped, audited calls.

    Read the MCP reference
  • In-app assistant

    Rocky answers questions over the knowledge base and, with permission, your own data — citing its sources and showing every change for approval before it runs.

  • Command line

    A standalone CLI (install with npm) and an in-app command palette drive the same operations over MCP, with table, JSON or CSV output.
