Tend your people. Grow your work.
Kithwell runs your business like a small farm. Clients are neighbors, projects are crops, and every day starts with a few chores. It's simple, a little magical, and it remembers who you meant to check in with.
The check-in you meant to send
You meant to follow up on Monday. Then Monday filled up, and the week after that. Most CRMs are built for sales teams with pipelines and quotas. When you're running things mostly on your own, you need something smaller.
Kithwell shows you who to tend today, what's ready to harvest, and what can wait. Then it gets out of the way.
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. The people you work with are never livestock. Everyone in Kithwell is a neighbor. If there's someone you shouldn't work with again, 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.
-
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.
-
through the day
Work the fields
Bring in the crop on the projects that matter today. Everything else stays planted until its turn.
-
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.
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.
