01Why this exists

One missing "is it okay to keep going?" turned into a fight.

What most people said was owed

£200

Extra time was never approved

From a real dispute posted to r/LegalAdviceUK. The freelancer may well have worked 10 days. Without a written yes, eight of them were unpaid.

02How it works

Three steps. Your client only ever does one of them.

Step 1

Set the budget

Enter the hours or days your client agreed to, and your rate. Greenlit sends them a copy to confirm.

Step 2

Log your time

Start a timer or add hours after the fact. The meter shows how much of the budget is left.

Step 3

Ask before you run out

At 80%, Greenlit drafts a request. You check it, send it, and your client approves or replies in one tap.

03What you get

A paper trail you never have to think about.

Every yes on recordWho approved, how many hours, and when.
Invoices that matchEach line points back to an approval.
Nothing for clients to installThey get a link. That's it.
Polite by defaultRequests are drafted for you, so asking never feels awkward.

Stop working for free after hour ten.
