Custom software that runs your business
Most software sells you a category. This is the operating layer your business actually runs on — and the parts that don't fit yet, we build.
The portal
Not a tab graveyard. One sign-in, one place, at your own address and under your own logo — projects, files, people, time. When your team needs another tool, it opens inside the same portal instead of becoming another password.
The projects
Clients, statements of work, projects, milestones, tasks — and the hours and money attached to each. Not a board of sticky notes that someone reconciles against a spreadsheet on Friday. The number delivery sees is the number finance bills.
The assistant
It reads your own projects, time and mentions and opens the day with what's actually waiting on you — then plans the hours you have left and starts the timer on the first one. Every figure it shows came from your database, not from a model's imagination.
Every services team has a few rituals, fields, or reports that nobody else has. Most software wants you to drop them at the door. We treat them as the reason you're hiring software in the first place — and we'll build for them, not around them.
Six things that decide whether a PM tool earns its seat on Monday morning.
The features that matter to your shop — the fields, the rituals, the reports nobody else has — get built into mawobe directly. You're not voting on them in a public roadmap. You're describing them, and we're shipping them.
Clients → SOWs → Projects → Milestones → Tasks → Subtasks. Optional layers stay optional; nothing is mandatory just because the schema thought it should be.
Per-workspace status sets, areas of focus, roles, and numbering. Different teams can carry different labels without forking the tool — but the defaults already make sense.
Every project, milestone, and task carries an estimate. Tracked time is built in — not bolted on — so the numbers your finance team needs are the same numbers your delivery team sees.
Time vs. estimate, billable vs. unbillable, by project, client, or person. Profit reporting that ties tracked hours to billable rates without a spreadsheet detour.
Windows and macOS, with a system-tray timer that survives whatever the browser is doing. The easy-button action in your workflow, not the one that gets skipped.
Custom, not catalog
Most PM software is a locked product. Your team works around its assumptions, and the feature you actually need lives on someone else's quarterly roadmap behind 400 votes you didn't cast.
Mawobe is custom software. If a workflow your team runs every week doesn't fit cleanly, we'll design it in — properly, into the data model and the UI — not as a checkbox setting. The tool gets shaped around your business, not the other way around.
No "feature requests" black hole. No "we'll consider it for Q3." If it's load-bearing for how you bill, deliver, or report, we'll build it.
FAQ
One place your business runs from. Your team signs in once and reaches everything — projects, files, people, time — at your own address (yourname.mawobe.com) and under your own logo, so it reads as your software rather than a tool you rent. When you add another app, it opens inside the same portal instead of becoming another password to manage.
Yes. The demo is self-serve and takes under a minute: you get a real workspace, already filled with a sample agency — clients, live projects, assigned tasks and months of tracked time — so the dashboards and reports show something meaningful immediately. Fourteen days, no card. If you would rather be walked through it, we still do that too.
mawobe isn't a locked SaaS product. We design and build features specifically for your team — the workflows, fields, and reports your shop actually uses — into the data model and the UI. You describe how your business runs; we ship software that fits it, usually in weeks rather than the quarters a public roadmap takes.
Those are catalog products: one feature set, ten thousand customers, a public roadmap that has to please all of them. Mawobe is the opposite — focused on services teams that bill or estimate time, designed around your specific workflow, and built to add features that aren't on a generic roadmap. We have written honest side-by-side comparisons of each on the /vs page.
Most workflow-shaped feature requests ship in one to three weeks once we agree on the design. Bigger surface changes (new entity types, full integrations, complex reports) take longer but still measure in weeks, not the quarters you wait on a public roadmap.
Services teams that run on time and estimates: creative agencies, consulting firms, law firms, design studios, software shops, architecture and engineering, construction PM, and freelancers. Anywhere clients, SOWs, projects, milestones, and tasks are the backbone of the work.
Yes — native apps for Windows and macOS, with a system-tray timer that runs whether or not your browser is open. Time tracking is the easiest action in the workflow rather than the one that gets skipped.
Yes, but quietly — no chatbot in your sidebar and no extra AI tier. AI is used where it earns its keep: smarter estimates from past project patterns, anomaly hints on time logs, faster client onboarding, and smarter search across your work. When AI features ship, they're included in the price, not a $9 or $28 upsell.
From a two-person studio to a hundred-person consultancy. We shape the tool to your workflow — fields, reports, rituals — instead of asking you to shape your team to ours.
On the AI question
Every PM tool has spent the last two years cramming chatbots into sidebars, renaming products with the word "Brain", and asking you to talk to a "teammate" that's actually a model. We're going the other way.
Mawobe uses AI quietly: better estimates from the patterns in your past projects, early warning when a time log looks off, faster onboarding for new clients, smarter search across your work. You won't see an "agent" tab. You'll just notice the tool got better.
No Brain. No Super Agents. No AI Notetaker tier at $28/seat.
We've written honest side-by-sides with ClickUp, ActiveCollab, Monday.com, and Mavenlink (Kantata). Where the tools agree, where they don\'t, and which kind of team each one is actually built for.
Most teams switch because they got tired of waiting. Custom is faster than a public roadmap.
