Part of the Fix It In Post toolkit
The calm cockpit for a one-person studio. Track It Up Pup holds the whole business in one quiet window: every enquiry, every edit, every billable hour, and client portals that update themselves while you work. It surfaces only what is due today and stays out of your way the rest of the time.
- Pay once, no subscription
- Runs on your Mac
- Built for creative pipelines
What it does
- Capture anything instantly. A global shortcut catches the idea or the client request before it evaporates, from any app.
- Pipelines that match real work. Video, photo, web and stock jobs each move through their own editable stages, from enquiry to final delivery.
- Billable timers. Track hours per project and export clean CSVs when it is time to invoice.
- A Today view that respects you. It surfaces only what is due, stays calm otherwise, and nudges gently only when you are genuinely overcommitted.
- Lock In mode. A soft focus barrier that notices when you drift to other apps and walks you back to work.
- Client portals included. Publish a project and your client gets a branded portal: progress, approvals, timestamped sign-off and downloads.
- Amendment notes become tasks. When a client leaves a change request in their portal, it lands in your cockpit as a task automatically.
- Progress snapshots. While you edit, the app can share work-in-progress snapshots to the portal so clients see momentum without emailing you.
Why it is different
Studio management tools are built for agencies and priced like them, month after month. Track It Up Pup is built around how one person actually runs a creative business: shoot, edit, deliver, get paid. No seats, no monthly fee, no dashboard theatre.
In daily use Track It Up Pup runs this studio right now, with the first client portals live.
Frequently asked questions
Is my data in the cloud?
The cockpit is local-first on your Mac. Client portals are the only part that goes online, because clients need to reach them.
Can clients see my task list?
No. Clients see only their own portal: progress, deliverables, approvals. The cockpit is yours alone.
Does it do invoicing?
It tracks billable time and exports CSVs your invoicing tool can import. Direct invoicing is on the roadmap.
