Hourbud: The Retainer Ledger

hourbud.com Visit website

Editorial interest 74/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A browser-based tracker that compares logged retainer time with a shared monthly hour allowance.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-21 issue.

For: Studios and contractors managing monthly retainer hours
Worth noticing: The demo shows 7h 30m remaining from 20 hours, with 12h 30m used across three projects.

Field notes

The sample workspace tracks a 20-hour allowance across three projects and reports both absolute time and percentage consumed. It also includes a client preview and an expiration notice for unused time. The site distinguishes this demonstration from account-backed use: entries remain in the browser for now, lasting account history is unavailable, and the beta does not offer paid checkout.
