Cadensa

About Cadensa

Cadensa is time tracking, project budgeting and client invoicing for agencies and freelancers, built EU-native rather than EU-compliant as an afterthought. Every byte sits on Hetzner servers in Germany and OVHcloud servers in France, the full sub-processor list is published so you can inspect the chain before signing, and a GDPR data processing agreement is attached to every plan including the free one — as are self-service data export, account deletion and consent management, which most competitors reserve for enterprise tiers. The product itself is a single-active-timer model with pause and resume, work organised by project and task, reports with CSV export on free and PDF or Excel on paid, and multi-member workspaces. The framing that distinguishes it from a bare timer is margin: logged hours attach to client projects and roll up into whether the engagement is actually profitable, without a spreadsheet in between. Google Calendar and selected invoicing providers connect today, with Zapier, Make.com and webhooks on the roadmap for paid tiers. Mobile apps are available. The product is in early access and the vendor publishes head-to-head comparisons against Toggl, Clockify and Harvest. Reports export as CSV on the free plan and PDF or Excel on paid, and the vendor publishes an example-usage breakdown per tier so the limits are legible before signing up rather than discovered at the boundary.
