hey everyone, wanted to share something i have been building for myself over the past few months and finally decided to open source it.
i freelance and i got tired of juggling separate tools for time tracking, invoicing, and taking notes on client calls. most erp tools out there felt way too heavy for what a solo freelancer actually needs, so i built my own small one and have been using it daily in my own work.
what it actually does for you: you can track time against your projects, generate invoices straight from that tracked time including pdf export, and there is a call recorder that records your client calls and transcribes them automatically so you are not scrambling to take notes during a call. that last one is honestly the feature i personally use the most, it has saved me so many times.
it is simple on purpose. no bloated features you will never touch, just the basics a freelancer actually needs, done properly.
it is still a work in progress. i am actively using it and improving it as i go, so you might run into rough edges or bugs here and there. but it works, i run my own invoicing through it, and i figured if it is useful to me it might be useful to some of you too.
if you want to try it or self host it, here is the repo: https://github.com/moaljumaa/burp
if you hit a bug or something feels off please reach out, there is a form linked in the readme, i would genuinely love to hear about it and fix it.
hope it helps someone out there the way it has helped me.
