Most project management tools are built for enterprise teams, priced as subscriptions, and store all your data on someone else's server. For small agencies and studios, that means paying monthly for features you don't need, while losing control of your own work data.
I built Vekt to solve that. It's a desktop app for small agencies - projects, tasks, time tracking, client deliverable records, billing, and team management, all in one place. One-time purchase. Local-first — your data stays on your machine. Works offline.
Currently deep in an update sprint: cleaning up UI inconsistencies, fixing navigation bugs, polishing the reports tab, and tightening up the output records workflow. Building in the open and shipping regularly.
If you're running a small creative studio or agency and tired of paying per-seat every month for tools that don't quite fit- Vekt might be worth a look.
