A menubar deadline tracker for freelancers, with time tracking built in. Your next due date lives next to your clock — where you actually look.
Every freelancer has done both. The deadlines are buried in Notion, Apple Reminders, a calendar you forgot to check, a Slack DM from three weeks ago. The hours are in some other app you forgot to open.
Watchtower fuses the two — and puts them somewhere you literally can't forget.
Not buried in an app you'll forget to open. Right there in your menubar. Ambient. Honest. Unignorable.
The badge shows days until your next deadline. Live. Ambient. Honest. No app to open, no reminder to swipe. Just a number next to your clock that tells you the truth.
Start work, click once. Stop when you're done. Time logs itself against the right deliverable — not a separate tool you'll forget to open. Manual entries too, for the hours you missed.
On-time rate. Average turnaround. Hours logged per week. Data you can screenshot to a client when they ask why your rates went up. Data you can trust when you set them.
Every action has a shortcut. Add a deadline, start a timer, mark it done — never touch the mouse. Built for people who live at the keyboard because their income depends on it.
The insights view tells you the truth about the last 30 days. The kind of truth you can charge more money for — because now you have the receipts.
"I missed my own launch deadline by three days. That's how I know you need this."
