Small systems
that do one job.

Plain Systems makes small tools that each do one job, starting with Time Wheel, and builds systems to order for businesses and teams. Everything it makes tells you plainly what it's doing, and keeps working on a bad day.

Time Wheel
where your day actually went.

Your computer already knows which window was in front all day. Time Wheel sorts that into your projects (clients, content, admin) instead of app names, and draws it as a wheel. The desktop widget shows today and this week. Your account shows any day, week, month or year, from any computer.
