Messy work happens.
Finished work gets paid.
Every cycle you export your hours, then lose an evening turning them into whatever form your payer will actually accept. SETTLEd. finishes that part — in your format, with nothing invented — and tracks the money until it arrives.

Illustrative example built from the real export format and the app's own activity categories. Figures are sample data.
Raw work.Finished.
Log the hours and the miles as they happen. Get back a document your payer accepts — in their format, with nothing invented.
The tour drives the real normalizer on this page — the same code path your own file takes. Nothing is uploaded either way.
Every tenth recorded · nothing invented · one file per destination
Different work.
Same unfinished evening.
If you are independent, bill by the hour, and have to reshape your own records into somebody else's format before the money moves, this was built for your problem.
The pilot starts with Alaska court appointees, because that is the format we can verify against real accepted filings today. Every profession above is a template, and templates are added by doing the same homework. Tell us yours and you will get an honest answer about where it sits.
Turn messy work
into what’s next.
Everything needed to get from the work to the money, without rebuilding the same document by hand every cycle.
Field logging
One-handed entry that works with no signal, in the increment your payer bills in — tenths, quarters, or whatever your contract says. Entries hold on the phone and send themselves when signal returns.
Matters and clients
Whoever you work for, whatever they call the file, plus dated rate schedules. A rate change in March never retroactively alters what January billed.
Documents that pass
Your payer's requirements live in the template, not in your memory. If a required field is missing or an activity has no mapping, nothing renders and you are told which entry to fix.
Import what you have
Drop in a Harvest export and watch it split into matters, pull mileage out of your notes, and separate nonbillable work. Your history comes with you instead of starting over.
Payment tracking
Filed, accepted, paid, with ageing. Open the app and know what you are owed and how long it has been sitting, without opening a spreadsheet.
Nothing submits itself
No automated filing, and no software writing your descriptions. You review the document and you send it. Your name is on it and the judgement stays yours.
From the work to the money in four moves.
The only milestone that counts is your first real submission. If you can log a day's work and produce something your payer accepts without touching it, the rest is detail.
Log
Tap the matter, the duration, and what you did. Two taps, twenty seconds, no signal needed.
Bring your history
Import an existing export or start clean. Where your old rounding disagrees with your payer's rule, you are shown both and asked.
Check, then generate
Every entry is validated against the template first. Anything missing or ambiguous is named, not guessed at.
File and track
Export the document, send it yourself, then watch it move through accepted and paid with ageing you can see.
Drop in a real export.
Watch it finish.
This is the working normalizer, not a video. Your file is read in this browser and never leaves this device. You will see every row processed, every mileage value recovered from a note, every repeat flagged — and then you can download the statements and the full normalization artifact.
Turn a time export into a document that gets paid.
Drop in the file your time tracker gives you. Nothing is uploaded anywhere — the file is read in this browser and stays on this device.

Clarity creates capacity.
No averages and no claims. Put in your own figures and see what the unfinished work is costing you.
This is time you already spend and cannot bill. It says nothing about what the software costs, because that is being set with the pilot group rather than guessed at beforehand.
Details build trust.
Your files describe other people's cases, health, finances and disputes. A lot of it is confidential and some of it is sealed. These are the commitments the product is being built to, stated plainly so you can hold us to them.
We are not certified against any security framework and will not claim otherwise. If your agency needs a questionnaire answered, ask and you will get honest answers rather than a badge.
Why invite-only
Open signup on a product holding guardianship records is the wrong default. Keeping the pilot small also keeps support answered by the person who built it, which is worth more right now than more users.
Someone who still does the paperwork.
SETTLEd. was started by Britney Ford, a working court reporter who got tired of exporting her hours and then spending an evening rebuilding them into a document that would actually get paid. She built the first version herself because nothing on the market did the part that took the longest.
That is also why the product refuses to guess. When you are the one signing the submission, software inventing a number on your behalf is not a feature.
Why it starts narrow
A template is only trustworthy once it has been checked against submissions a payer actually accepted. That is real work per profession and per jurisdiction, and it cannot be faked. So the pilot starts with one group, gets it exactly right, and expands from evidence rather than ambition.
What we will not do
No writing your narratives. No inferring a number that was never recorded. No submitting anything on your behalf. Those are not missing features; they are the boundary that makes the rest of it safe to rely on.
One plan. No games.
Billed to you, not to your client. No per-document fees, no seat minimums, and no free tier that pays for itself some other way.
A flat monthly subscription per person. The rate is being decided with the first cohort against what it actually saves them, rather than guessed at now and revised later.
Why no free tier
A free tier has to be paid for somehow, and the usual answers are advertising, data, or volume. None of those belong near guardianship records. One paid plan means the product can be boring about security and particular about filings.
Pause instead of cancel
Appointments come and go. A paused account keeps your records searchable at a reduced rate rather than forcing you to export and start over when the next one arrives.
Reasonable things to ask.
Rounding, retention, rejected filings, other states, export, and what happens to your words.
Does it write my case narratives?
How does the rounding work?
What happens when something is missing?
What if a filing gets rejected?
Is this affiliated with a court or agency?
I'm not a court appointee. Does this work for me?
Who owns the data, and can I get it out?
Do you submit it for me?
A more finished tomorrow.
Not a calmer you, not a better mindset. Three hours that were going to disappear into reformatting a spreadsheet, returned — and the filing still lands right the first time.
Start with one real cycle.
If you bill by the hour, reformat your own records to get paid, and would try this on one genuine cycle, get in touch. Tell us your profession and your format. Honest feedback is worth more right now than more users.
Tell us what you do and what takes you longest. You will get a real reply from a person.
