RetainerMeter / Desktop

Desktop edition

Local-first retainer tracking you buy once

RetainerMeter Desktop keeps ordinary client, time, and invoice data on your Windows or Linux computer. It is built for consultants who value privacy, offline day-to-day work, and permanent ownership.

Local-first storage

Your working data lives in local files under your control. Protect the device and keep backups appropriate for your business.

Offline day to day

Log time, inspect burn, and generate invoices without an internet connection. Downloads, activation, and update checks use the internet.

Permanent licence

The standard price is $129 one time. A current public offer may provide a lower independently governed Desktop price where shown.

No cloud account

Desktop does not require a RetainerMeter cloud workspace. Optional maintenance and licence services are separate from local consultant content.

What is included

Desktop and Web stay separate

Buying Desktop does not create, include, or synchronize a Web workspace. Web is a separate live browser edition with its own subscription and workspace. Portable backups support deliberate manual transfer. Import replaces the destination after confirmation and never merges data changed in both places.

Updates for dual owners

The permanent Desktop licence remains valid after Web ends. An active paid Web subscription can provide update eligibility for a securely linked Desktop owner. Existing separate Desktop-maintenance subscriptions are never cancelled automatically.
