# Keito

> Keito is a time tracking and invoicing platform for professional services teams. It offers flat pricing with unlimited users, projects, and clients. Built by OSO, a London-based software consultancy specialising in Apache Kafka and streaming infrastructure.

Keito supports the full professional services workflow: track time with timers or manual entry, manage projects with budgets and tasks, log expenses with receipt attachments, generate and send invoices, and sync with Xero and QuickBooks for accounting. It uses a role-based permission system (Member, Manager, Admin) and includes timesheet approval workflows.

Plans: Free (basic tracking), Pro (invoicing, expenses, budgets, approvals), Business (Xero/QuickBooks integration, custom branding, priority support).
