Law firms

Every six minutes count. Including the ones you forgot to note.

A short email to a client, checking a clause between two hearings. Half5 remembers which matter you worked on. The firm sees nothing until you turn it into hours and submit them.

The work is in the small things. Those are what you write down least.

The hearing is in your calendar. The email from opposing counsel afterwards and the evening read-through are not.

Half5 remembers it per matter. You decide what you submit.

How it works in your field

Per matter, down to the minute.

Half5 works with clients, matters and activities the way a firm is used to, with approval before anything is billed.

In the app

You work. Half5 lines up your day.

The desktop app on your Mac or Windows PC notices which programs, websites, files, commits and AI sessions there were. Your calendar and phone add meetings, visits and drives. Half5 turns that into suggestions, one per block of work.

Suggestions from Word matter files, Outlook and the court hearing in the calendar, logged in six-minute units

Approved hours become an invoice.

Half5 drafts invoices per client from the approved hours (or, with approval switched off, from all saved hours). Check them, download a PDF or send them by email, with a copy to your accountant if you like.

Privacy

Confidential, inside the firm too.

Your timeline lives only on your own devices, end-to-end encrypted. Partners, admins and Half5 can't open it. The firm only sees the hours you submit, with the description you write.
