The punch card was invented to count you.
Every hole was a minute owned by someone else.
We start from the same gesture, and try to do something different with it.
The time register was invented in the 1880s. A machine at the factory gate. You put your card in, it punched a hole: you were counted. You put it in again on the way out: you were released. Everything in between was assumed.
Most software still works this way. A ticket opened, a ticket closed. Hours logged. A number at the bottom. How the work actually went never makes it into the record.
Mulai ties every hour to the gig it belongs to, and every gig to its project. Then it asks what the card never did: how was it? One person who placed the work, one who did it, both answering honestly, with the final word to whoever placed the gig.
You see what needs doing before anyone else does. You shape it, name it, hand it to the right person, and hold the line on what good looks like. Mulai gives you one place to see what is moving, what has gone quiet and what is finished.
Your list is clear. When you start, you start: drag the gig onto the clock, your location noted, nothing to fill in. When you stop, you stop. Later you sit with the finished work and say honestly how it went. That honesty becomes a record that is yours.
This is early, and meant to be seen that way. Nothing here pretends to be finished. If you notice a gap and want to help close it, with code, with an idea, with time, there is room. Time is the currency here.
A gig gets a project, a code, a Lead and a Doer. If it repeats, set it once and it spawns its own instances.
The work happens against a task list. The gig moves from matched to aligned, in progress and delivered.
Time is logged as it goes or added afterwards. Nothing disappears once it is finished.
Both people answer a few honest questions. The final word belongs to whoever placed the work.
All of the below is live. Used today. On real work.
Every gig sits in a project and carries a code that says what it is and where it belongs.
Pause a gig or a whole project without losing anything. Close one for good, with the reason on record.
Weekly, fortnightly, monthly or on request. Instances and their checklists are created for you.
Tasks assigned to Lead or Doer, with stale and overdue work flagged across all gigs.
Live or manual entries, open timesheets, task check-off at clock-out and hours so far on each gig.
Doer and Lead rate the same attributes. The Lead's average becomes the final score.
Drag gigs into next week's mornings and afternoons, then see who actually worked when.

This is not finished, and it is not meant to be sold to you. It is being built slowly, used daily, on real work. If you place work, do work, or want to help it grow with patience, there may be a place for you. Here is how to reach us.
