Professional open-source project scheduling and resource management for desktop and cloud.

The unified project management platform that bridges the gap between planning, time tracking, and billing.

Paymo is a comprehensive work management solution engineered for small-to-medium agencies, law firms, and consultancy groups that require a tight integration between project execution and financial closure. Architecturally, it functions as a 'Project-to-Cash' ecosystem, eliminating the data fragmentation typically found when using separate tools for task management, time tracking, and invoicing. In 2026, Paymo has solidified its market position by leveraging automated resource leveling and AI-driven time-entry suggestions, reducing administrative overhead for creative and technical teams. Its technical stack supports complex dependencies through an interactive Gantt chart engine and offers a 'Meta Kanban' view for cross-project visibility. The platform's distinct advantage lies in its native time-tracking capabilities—including a desktop 'ghost' tracker—that feed directly into a robust invoicing engine. This ensures that billable hours are never lost and project profitability is monitored in real-time. By providing a single source of truth for both project managers and accountants, Paymo addresses the critical operational bottleneck of professional services: the transition from completed work to realized revenue.
