Kithwell

Pretend your business is a farm. It works better than you'd think.

Lists are easy to ignore. Chores aren't. Kithwell turns your clients into neighbors and your projects into crops, so the follow-ups actually happen, and it's a lot more fun to open every morning.

Wait, why a farm?

  • It's your business, but lighter.

    The same work, with a lot less dread.

  • Pictures stick.

    You'll forget row 47 of a spreadsheet. You won't forget the crop that's ready to harvest.

  • Play keeps you coming back.

    A tool you enjoy is a tool you actually use.

The check-in you meant to send

Monday filled up, then the week after. Kithwell shows you who to tend today and what can wait.

Your business, as a farm

Every part has a place, so nothing feels like one big pile.

  • Neighbors

    Your people. Working with, worked with, just met, partners, or just neighbors.

  • The Seedbed

    Deals you've planted and are waiting on.

  • Crops

    One-time projects. Plant, tend, harvest.

  • The Herd

    Weekly and monthly recurring work.

  • The Orchard

    Quarterly and yearly work that comes back every season.

  • The Cellar

    What came in and what's owed. Owners only.

  • Logbook

    Notes on people, land, crops, and tasks.

  • Odd jobs

    Small billable work that doesn't need a whole field.

“Things are things, and people are people.”
how we keep who's who

A project can be a crop. A retainer can be a herd. People are always neighbors. If someone's a bad fit, they get a quiet Steer clear flag and nothing more.

A day on the farm

first rule of the farm: chores first. Everything else comes after.

  1. at first light

    Morning chores

    A short list you set yourself. Sow a few seeds, water the crops, feed the herd. You choose how many and which days.

  2. through the day

    Work the fields

    Bring in the crop on the projects that matter today. Everything else stays planted until its turn.

  3. when the season turns

    Take stock

    Eight times a year, you stop and look over the whole farm: what came in, what to let go, and what to plant next.

Your farm, your way

Name your farm

It's your farm, not ours. You name it when you sign up, and that's what you see every morning.

Whimsy, dialed to taste

Turn the wildlife on or off. Use sabbats or plain seasons. Run a vegan farm. Call clients a company, organization, or outfit.

Easy on the eyes

Choose your text size, or switch to high contrast. Dark mode comes standard.

Room for farm hands

Invite your VAs and contractors. Each person gets their own chores, and farm hands see the work but never the money.

why Kithwell exists

I built Kithwell for myself first. I'm on the autism spectrum and I have ADHD, and both run in my family. Remembering to communicate with clients has always been one of the hardest parts of running my business.

I tried the high-tech systems and the fantasy ones. Neither stuck. A farm did. Chores in the morning, fields in the afternoon, and a reason to stop and take stock when the seasons turn. My brain understood it right away, and my business got lighter and more fun.

I also wanted a tool that treats people like people. The world's getting less kind lately. Your CRM doesn't have to.
