What it does
EVERYTHING YOU NEED.
NOTHING YOU DON'T.
GMAIL DOES THE DATA ENTRY
Rough Cut reads your threads and auto-extracts client names, project scope, budgets, and deadlines. Your pipeline builds itself while you edit.
EVERY PROJECT ON A BOARD
From first inquiry to final delivery, track every deal's status. Revision rounds, file handoffs, approval chains — all visible at a glance.
REMINDERS THAT SEND THEMSELVES
Set a deadline. When a project runs past it, Rough Cut fires your templated payment reminder automatically. No more awkward follow-up emails.
How it works
UP AND RUNNING
IN THREE STEPS.
CONNECT GMAIL
OAuth in — 30 seconds. Rough Cut reads your project threads and nothing else.
WATCH YOUR PIPELINE APPEAR
Clients, budgets, revision counts, and deadlines are extracted and organised into a live deal board automatically.
GET PAID ON TIME
Set reminder schedules once. Rough Cut handles every follow-up so you can focus on the edit, not the invoice.
