“We replaced four tools with one and got our Fridays back. The month-end invoice run used to take a full day — it's now about twenty minutes.”

01 — What you get
Six things, done properly,
instead of sixty done badly.
Meridian is opinionated on purpose. Every screen earns its place, and anything that doesn't help you ship work or get paid isn't there.
Projects with a spine
Phases, deliverables and approvals in one board. Everyone sees the same truth, so nobody has to ask where things stand.
Boards · Phases · Approvals
Invoices that get paid
Turn tracked hours into a beautiful invoice in two clicks. Automatic reminders chase late payers so you never have to.
Quotes · Invoices · Reminders
Time, tracked quietly
A single keystroke starts the timer. No stopwatch guilt, no timesheet Fridays — just an honest record of where the week went.
Timers · Timesheets · Budgets
A client portal they'll like
Share progress, files and feedback in a branded space. No more zip files or fourteen-message email threads.
Sharing · Feedback · Files
Numbers you can act on
Margin per project, utilisation per person, revenue per month. The three charts that actually change decisions.
Margin · Utilisation · Forecast
Built to be lived in
Keyboard-first, offline-tolerant, and fast on a five-year-old laptop. Software should feel like a good pencil.

02 — How it works
From spreadsheet chaos to calm, in a week.
No consultants, no six-week onboarding, no change-management deck. Three steps and your studio runs itself a little better.
Average setup
1 afternoon
- 01
Bring your work in
Import clients and projects from a spreadsheet, or start from one of nine studio templates. Setup takes an afternoon, not a quarter.
- 02
Work the way you already do
Track time from the menu bar, drop files into the project, tag a teammate for review. Meridian stays out of the way until it's useful.
- 03
Bill without the dread
At month end, hours are already grouped by phase. Review, send, and watch the reminders do the uncomfortable part.
Then you go back to the actual work.

Studios who stopped fighting their tools.
“The margin view was uncomfortable reading in week one. By month three we'd repriced two retainers and our profit was up 19%.”
Jonas Keller
Managing Partner, Fold & Rivet
“Clients actually use the portal. That alone killed about thirty emails a week for our producers.”
Priya Nair
Studio Director, Casa Verde

Most teams are running live within two working days. Import clients and projects from a CSV, pick a template that matches how you scope work, and invite the team. If you'd rather not do it yourself, our team will migrate your data for free on Studio and Agency plans.
No. You pay per person in your studio. Clients, freelancers and collaborators can be invited to the portal at no cost, with permissions you control per project.
Yes. Each client can have its own currency, tax profile and payment terms, and reports roll everything up into your studio's base currency using the rate on the invoice date.
It stays yours. Export every project, time entry, file and invoice as CSV or PDF at any time, with no waiting period and no export fee. We keep backups for 30 days after you close an account, then delete them.
Two months free when you pay yearly, on both the Studio and Agency plans. You can switch between monthly and yearly whenever you like, and we prorate the difference.
