ScreensConcept
Desktop and mobile: Workers log hours fast on phones during the day, but managers approve weeks and generate client reports at a desk—both flows are essential. Sample screens on a computer and a phone, in the proposed brand. Their numbers are sample data.

About this appAI proposal
Tallyday is a fast timesheet app for teams that bill or plan by the hour. Type what you did, press Enter, and the hours land on the right project. No long forms and no menus to click through.
It is built for the people who fill in timesheets, not only the people who read them. Type, use a timer or copy last week. Every feature is on every plan.
Public claims in the evidence say existing tools are slow, unfriendly and expensive per seat, with good features behind high tiers. Tallyday proposes one flat team price and one clear screen per task.
- Tagline
- Log your week in under a minute. One flat price for the team.

- Why this name
- Tallyday is two plain words: a tally is a quick count, and a day is the unit most people log. It sounds light, like the entry should feel.

PricingAI proposal
The material gives no competitor prices, only a public claim that rivals charge per seat and gate features by tier. These flat tiers are a starting point to test, not derived from any figure.

What it could be worthEstimate
What a software business making this much sells for today, from real deals. Pick a monthly revenue.
If it makes
Worth about
$190,000
Sale range $132,000 to $263,000
$120,000 a year in revenue
From 87 software businesses listed and sold on Empire Flippers in the last year, revenue vetted by the broker: they sell for about 19× their monthly revenue, most between 13× and 26×.
Measured on profit, the middle deal is 32× monthly net profit: about 2.7 years of profit.
An estimate, not an offer or financial advice. A real price depends on profit, growth, churn, how much of the work is the owner's, and the buyer.
How it would growAI proposal
How the product would reach new customers through its own use, and how the first ones would be found. A plan to test, not a result.
- Built-in loop
- Shared outputs. Teams send approved timesheet and client-hours reports as share links or PDFs to clients and managers who don't use Tallyday. Each report carries a small 'made with Tallyday' footer that paid plans can turn off.
- Do they become customers?
- Report recipients are mostly clients and approvers, and only some run their own teams. Test whether freelancers and agency leads who receive reports start their own workspace from the footer link.
- First customers
- Small agencies and consultancies of 5 to 25 people that bill clients by the hour and currently pay per seat for a timesheet tool.
- Where to reach them
- Hacker News Show HN: Post a working demo with type-to-log entry and flat pricing, and ask readers who dislike timesheets for feedback.
- Agency owner communities: Offer to import a team's current timesheet export and run a free trial month alongside their current tool.
- Comparison content: Publish a cost calculator that compares per-seat bills with a flat team plan, using the visitor's own numbers.
- First milestone
- Five agencies of 5 to 25 people pay for Team after a trial, and at least three drop their old tool.
Why people already pay for this
- Public claimUsers dislike filling in timesheets because existing solutions are slow and unfriendly
- Public claimExisting competitors use expensive per-seat pricing and gate features behind premium tiers
- Public claimThere is a market need for fast, user-friendly timesheet software with flexible input

RisksAI inference
- CommercialTimesheet tools are an established category and buyers may be reluctant to move billing data. Flat pricing must be shown to win against current per-seat bills.
- CommercialFlat tiers may lose money on large, heavy-use teams, so the seat caps and price points need testing.
- TechnicalOffline entry on phones needs reliable sync and conflict handling. PWA background sync support differs across mobile browsers.
- AIParsing free-text entries can pick the wrong project or hours. The user must be shown the parsed result before saving.
- DataSwitching users will want imports from existing tools, and each export format needs its own mapping work.
