Free Legal Billing & Time Tracker for Solo Attorneys
Solo attorneys leave six figures a year uncollected: about 14% of billable hours go unbilled and 10% of billed fees go uncollected. This Cowork plugin gives you multi-matter time entry, one-click invoices from your own template, overdue reminders, a revenue dashboard, and trust reconciliation. No monthly subscription. Free, yours to keep.

Compliance: never touches your legal work
This automation only handles operational steps — sending, routing, and moving data. It doesn’t draft, analyze, or make any legal judgment, consistent with ABA Opinion 512.

Frequently asked
What do I need to run this?
Claude with Cowork. Install the plugin, connect Google Docs or attach a workspace folder, enter your rates, and customize your invoice template.
Is the trust accounting bar-compliant?
The trust tab follows a standard three-way reconciliation structure. It is bookkeeping and computation, not legal advice, but trust handling carries real stakes, so review it against your state bar’s trust-accounting guidance before you rely on it.
Does it need a monthly subscription?
No. The plugin is free and yours to keep. It replaces the billing modules you would otherwise pay $49 to $129 a month for.
Can you connect it to my bank and billing software?
Yes. The free plugin handles entry, invoicing, and trust tracking. Connecting it to your bank, QuickBooks, and LawPay is a Quick-Win Build, typically $5k to $15k over 2 to 3 weeks.
Want the version built for your firm?
