Innovations by Timebars Ltd: Reinventing Management Software for the Web

Breaking the Mold: How We Reinvented Management Software

At the heart of Agilebars, Timebars, Costbars, and our Cloud Dashboard is a bold idea: management tools shouldn’t be clunky, device-specific, or tethered to outdated tech. We set out to rethink how software supports Agile, resource, and project managers—building something that’s not just functional but genuinely innovative. Here’s what we did differently.

A New Kind of Web-Based Powerhouse

We didn’t settle for desktop-only software or rigid cloud platforms. Instead, we built our tools from the ground up as web-native applications, leveraging open-source technologies like HTML5, JavaScript, and CSS. Why? Because the web is universal—our software runs on any device with a modern browser, from your iPad to your giant desktop monitor. No apps to install, no proprietary ecosystems—just a secure webpage that adapts to your screen, whether you’re tapping a touchscreen or clicking a mouse.

The bigger the screen, the more you see, but the experience stays smooth even on smaller devices. We pushed the boundaries of web tech to make this seamless, proving you don’t need a dedicated app to get desktop-level power.

Drag-and-Drop Data Freedom

Forget complex imports or locked-in formats. We innovated by making data movement effortless—drag a spreadsheet from Excel or LibreOffice Calc onto our canvas, and it’s instantly part of your project. Our tools speak JSON and CSV natively, so you can pull data in and push it back out without wrestling with clunky converters. This isn’t just convenience; it’s a new way to keep your workflow fluid and your existing data alive.

Security That’s Ahead of the Curve

We didn’t just slap encryption on and call it a day. Our tools use HTTPS/TLS end-to-end—bank-level protection baked into every interaction. But here’s where we went further: we ditched browser cookies entirely. Instead of storing login tokens locally (a hacker’s dream), we deliver JSON Web Tokens (JWT) securely on login, keeping them server-side and encrypted with your password. Your data? It stays in your browser unless you choose to publish it to our Cloud Dashboard. This isn’t standard security—it’s a rethink of how trust and control should work.

Cloud Dashboard: Publishing, Not Hosting

Our optional Cloud Dashboard isn’t a typical cloud service—it’s a publishing platform. We innovated by letting you push your data up securely with a single click, where it’s stored in a shared database isolated by your credentials. No one else gets in without your username and password. This isn’t about locking you into the cloud; it’s about giving you a flexible, optional hub for dashboards and insights, all while keeping the core experience offline-first.

Offline by Design

We flipped the script on cloud dependency. Our tools work fully offline, storing data locally in your browser’s cache—accessible anytime, anywhere, no internet required. This isn’t a backup plan; it’s a deliberate choice to prioritize flexibility and resilience in a world where connectivity isn’t guaranteed.

Tailored Innovation for Every Manager

• Agilebars: We reimagined sprint planning by blending Kanban and time-scaled views into a single, web-based tool. Switch modes instantly—no imports, no exports—just a fresh take on Agile workflows.
• Timebars: Traditional project management got a web-native overhaul. We crafted a scheduling engine that adapts to resource demands, all within a browser, breaking free from desktop-only constraints.
• Costbars: Pipeline management wasn’t enough—we added analytics and selection tools, turning a scheduler into a strategic weapon, all while keeping it lightweight and web-driven.

Pushing the Web’s Limits

We didn’t stop at functionality. Our dark mode cuts eye strain for late-night sessions, and accessibility features ensure everyone can use our tools, not just the tech-savvy. We even optimized for touch and mouse inputs across screen sizes, proving web software can rival native apps without compromise. It’s not perfect on every Apple device yet—web tech evolves fast—but we’re committed to staying ahead of the curve.

Why This Matters

We didn’t build another me-too tool. We harnessed the web’s openness, broke free from old-school software traps, and gave you control—over your data, your device, and your workflow. This is management software rethought for a connected, flexible, secure future. Ready to see what’s possible?
