Built for

The people who run client services.

One to twenty-five people, billing other businesses for work delivered by humans. Everything in here assumes a client, a scope and an hour that has to be accounted for.

Solo freelancers

1 person, 5–10 active clients

You are the pipeline, the delivery team and the finance department, and the finance department only gets attention when something has gone wrong. Nucle.OS is the one place all three live, so the invoice is a consequence of the work you already logged rather than an evening's archaeology.

  • Forget time-tracking apps that punish you for forgetting to log
  • Bills go out on the 1st without a 90-minute reconciliation ritual
  • See exactly where every retainer hour went, by client

Small studios

3–10 person teams

The context lives in three heads and a Slack channel, and the person who knows the client is on holiday. Custom roles mean a contractor sees the project and not the payroll, and the client portal means they stop emailing you for the file.

  • Everyone sees the same pipeline, the same project board, the same numbers
  • Roles + workspace permissions, not Notion link-sharing chaos
  • Onboard a contractor in 30 seconds with a magic-link invite

Agency owners

10–25 person teams

You need to know, on a Tuesday, whether next quarter is covered and who is underwater this week. Weighted pipeline, utilisation and project profitability read from the same records your team is already working in, so the number is today's rather than the one somebody compiled.

  • Real-time utilization across the whole team, not a Friday-afternoon spreadsheet
  • Forecast revenue with confidence weighting on each deal stage
  • Audit trail on every client, deal, and project — never lose context

Honestly

Who it is not for.

A trial that was never going to work costs you a fortnight and costs us a customer we could not have kept.

  • SaaS sales teams

    There is no lead scoring, no sequence-to-MQL handoff and no territory model. The pipeline here assumes a proposal and a scope, not a funnel.

  • Teams above about twenty-five

    Roles and permissions go as deep as you like, but the reporting is built for a business one person can still hold in their head.

  • Product companies with no clients

    Retainers, billable hours, project profitability and a client portal are most of what you would be paying for, and none of it would be used.

  • Anyone who needs a public API today

    There is no REST API and no webhooks yet. If your workflow depends on pushing data in from elsewhere automatically, this is not ready for you.

If you are somewhere between the two lists, say so on the support page and we will tell you straight.

Fourteen days, no card.

Spin up a workspace in under a minute and bring your team in over coffee. If you stop, nothing is deleted — the workspace goes read-only and you can still export everything in it.
