For game and creative studios

Know who works on what, and where the hours really went.

Staffing plan, time tracking and leave in one tool you own. €9,500 once, no per-seat fees.

  • Runs in your own Cloudflare account
  • Data can stay in the EU
  • Full source code
  • No subscription
What you get

One loop instead of three tools

Plan, hours and leave share the same people and projects. Nothing is copied between tools.

  1. Plan: see who is free

    Every person on every project, months ahead, including roles you have not hired yet.

  2. Track: hours and leave

    A one-click timer or a weekly view. Leave requests, balances and holidays in the same place.

  3. Reconcile: catch drift

    Each month, see where the plan and the hours differ, and update the plan in one step.

Staffing

The whole studio on one timeline

  • Drag, drop and resize bars when a milestone moves
  • Split a person across projects in percent
  • Headcount per month, part-time aware
  • Plan in a private draft; producers never overwrite each other

FAQ

Questions studios ask

Can we see it before we buy?

Yes. Book a demo and we walk you through SAM on an invented studio of 25 people, with your questions.

Where is our data stored?

In your own Cloudflare account. Databases and files can be created in Cloudflare's EU jurisdiction. Sensitive personal data sits apart in the Vault.

What does it cost to run?

Your Cloudflare plan: free to start, $5 a month on Workers Paid. Email and backups have free tiers. Nothing recurring from us.

Are updates included?

No. You get SAM as delivered, with the full source code. Changes are yours to make, or ours at €90 per hour.

Can we change SAM to fit our studio?

Yes. The code comes with guides, tests and a sandbox of invented data, so a developer or an AI coding agent such as Claude Code can change it safely.

What does SAM not do?

No finance or payroll, no mobile app, no public API, English only. All limits
