Hours in, client reports out — one backend, desktop, web and mobile.
Work Balance tracks hours against projects and phases, and turns them into the report a client actually receives. It runs on Java 21 and Spring Boot with Microsoft Entra ID for identity, and ships as a Tauri and Rust desktop client alongside a React Native mobile app.
What it does |
Work Balance is the time tracking and client reporting platform behind every Buckler engagement. Consultants log hours against a project and a phase; clients get their own view of what was worked on, without anyone assembling a report by hand. |
Platform |
A Java 21 and Spring Boot backend, with identity handled by Microsoft Entra ID so client organisations sign in with the accounts they already have. 
|
Desktop and mobile |
The desktop client is built with Tauri and Rust — a native binary measured in megabytes rather than an embedded browser. Mobile is React Native. One backend, three surfaces. 
|
Design discipline |
Every screen is built against an approved prototype and a role-based navigation model — no invented fields, no simulated data reaching a user. The constraint sounds small; it is the reason the product and the documentation have never drifted apart. |
Integrations |
Work Balance signs people in with Microsoft Entra ID, so client organisations use the accounts they already have in Microsoft 365 — no separate user directory to maintain.
