Everything you need to know about a client, in one place.

Stop juggling spreadsheets and email threads. AncestorOS keeps every client detail organized and accessible.

Complete Client Profiles

Store contact information, relationship history, communication notes, and personal background — everything about a client in a single, well-organized profile.

Project Tracking

Each client can have multiple projects, each with its own status, scope, milestones, and deliverables. Know exactly what stage every engagement is at, at a glance.

Research Objective Management

Track exactly what you are trying to prove for each client — specific questions, hypotheses, and goals — so every research session stays focused and billable.

Complete Engagement History

Every invoice, every logged hour, and every note is automatically attached to the client record. Your full history with a client is always one tap away.

Up and running in minutes.

Add a Client

Enter your client's name, contact details, and any background notes. Import from a CSV or add manually — takes about 60 seconds.

2

Create a project for the engagement, define the research objectives, set a scope and deliverable expectations, and attach any reference documents.

3

Track Everything Automatically

As you log time, send invoices, and capture research notes, everything flows back to the client record. Your CRM stays current without extra data entry.
