Clients

Everyone you bill — and what your history with each of them is actually worth.

The directory

One row per client: type, their day rate in their currency, the record line, timezone and website. The masthead reads the whole book — your average rate across priced clients, the top client’s share of career gross, your win rate (booked, of decided), and how many clients came back. New bookings for a client inherit its rate and terms automatically.

The record line

The little line in the Record column is your rate history with that client: the last 20 jobs in sequence, each one’s height showing its day rate against your going rate at the time — the day-weighted average of the twelve months before that job started. Above the hairline, better than your usual; below, cheaper, in deepening vermilion. Rates drift up over a career, so the baseline moves with the era — the line answers “was this a good deal then”, not “is this less than I charge now”.

The client card

Click a row for the card: rate and currency, payment terms, the timezone (pick a city — it can also feed the clock cluster on Today), notes, and recent work. A client with a website filled in offers Use the site’s icon for its logo — fetched through toqe’s own relay, so no third-party favicon service ever learns your client list, and only ever on your click, never automatically.

Currency, carefully

A client’s currency fills a gap — linking a Tokyo studio to an unpriced booking prices it in yen. It never re-prices a project that already has a number: ¥300,000 must not quietly become £300,000 because of a link, so the project keeps its currency and toqe just mentions the client bills in another. Changing it stays one deliberate click, next to the rate.

Deleting a client unlinks its projects (the confirm names how many) — the work survives in History, it just no longer points at anyone.
