Kiaro · In the open
What we are building next
Kiaro is under active development. Here is what we have shipped recently, what we are working on now, and where we are headed. No fixed dates, just an honest look at our priorities.
Recently shipped
11Bring your own AI (beta)
IntegrationsConnect Claude or ChatGPT to your Kiaro workspace and ask it to log time, look up what is overdue or draft an invoice, in the AI app you already use. Anything that sends or deletes waits for your OK in Kiaro, and you can see and disconnect connected apps at any time. It is in beta while more people use it.
Contract templates and signing
ContractsWrite a contract from a searchable set of templates or your own, send it to your client, and they sign it in the client portal by typing their name. Kiaro records who signed, when, from where, and exactly which version, then emails everyone the signed PDF. Templates are not reviewed by a lawyer, so have one look over anything you send.
Proposals as slide decks
ProposalsTurn a written proposal into a slide deck in a few clicks, pick from six templates, edit any slide, and present it full screen on the call. The numbers and names on the slides are checked against the proposal, so nothing gets invented along the way.
Paste or write your meeting notes and Kiaro pulls out the action items. Turn any of them into a task on the right project with one click, so the things you promised on the call actually get done.
Decisions, risks and open questions
KnowledgeKeep a running record of what was decided on each engagement, what could go wrong, and what is still waiting on an answer. Decisions from your meeting notes are saved automatically, and the client brief shows what is still open before you walk into the next call.
Retainer billing
InvoicingSet a monthly flat fee with an included hours allowance and Kiaro drafts the invoice on your billing day, with overage billed automatically. Bill in advance or in arrears, pick any billing day to match your client's payment run, cut an invoice on demand, and get a home-page reminder if a period goes uninvoiced. Mid-month starts are prorated. Unlimited retainers on every plan, including Free.
Xero integration
IntegrationsSend an invoice in Kiaro and it pushes to Xero with the right contact, account code, and tax rate already filled in. When your client pays, Kiaro flips the invoice to paid the moment Xero reconciles it, even on bank transfers outside Stripe. Available on Solo and Team.
Overdue invoices show a one-click prompt to draft a stage-aware follow-up email: friendly at 14 days, direct at 21, formal at 30. Edit, copy, and send from your own inbox.
Uninvoiced-value prompt
InvoicingWhen a project crosses $500 in unbilled billable time, Kiaro offers to draft the invoice right then. It catches the most common revenue leak in solo consulting before it becomes a quarter you cannot recover.
Online invoice payments
PortalClients pay your invoice by card, or any other payment method you switch on in Stripe, straight from the invoice email or the client portal. EUR, GBP, USD or ZAR. The money goes directly to your own Stripe account, and Kiaro tells you the moment it lands.
Kiaro on your phone
MobileEvery list page works as cards on a small screen, and you can add Kiaro to your home screen on iOS and Android so it opens like an app.

Planned
9Log hours against a project without making a task first. Built for retainer work, quick calls and the odd hour that never needed a to-do list.
QuickBooks Online integration
IntegrationsThe same two-way sync as Xero, against QuickBooks Online. Built on the shared provider abstraction so the connect, mapping, and push flows match the ones Solo and Team users already know from Xero.
Rebillable expenses
InvoicingLog a cost you are passing on to a client, like travel or software bought on their behalf, attach the receipt, and add it to the next invoice alongside your time. Your client sees the receipt in the portal.
Every invoice gets a payment reference your client copies into their bank transfer, and Kiaro keeps a record of each payment as it arrives, part-payments included. Matching transfers from your bank statement comes after that, so reminders stop without you clicking Mark as paid.
Collaborators
ClientsInvite the people you work with at a client to see the project's tasks, pick up meeting action items and log their time. Free and unlimited on paid plans, because you should not pay for a seat just to share a to-do list.
Client conversations in-app
ClientsWhen a client replies to one of your Kiaro emails, the reply lands inside the app on the relevant invoice, proposal, or project, and feeds your AI assistant's context. The conversation lives with the work, not buried in Gmail.
Authenticate your sending domain and your invoices, reminders, and proposals go out as you, not via reply.kiaro.io. Available on Solo and Team.
A form you can put on your own site that drops new enquiries straight into Kiaro as leads, plus deal stages and values so you can see what is likely to land this month. The funnel side of the practice, alongside the delivery side.
Importers
MigrationBring your clients, projects, time and invoices across from HoneyBook, Dubsado, Bonsai, Toggl or Harvest using the export files they already give you. No reshaping spreadsheets first. Migration should not be the reason you stay on a tool you have outgrown.
