Minuted

The idea

Most meeting tools assume your time is free. It isn't. A one-hour sync with four senior people can cost more than dinner for eight. Minuted turns that invisible cost into something you can feel — a number on your screen, climbing with every minute you stay in the room.

What it does

Designed around the live number.

Live cost, in dollars

The big number on your screen updates every frame. No watching a timer and doing math in your head — the cost is right there.

The background reacts

Start calm. A gradient shifts from cool blue through purple to urgent coral as the cost rises. Your phone knows when it's getting bad.

Alerts when it matters

Pick thresholds — say, $250 for a warning and $750 for an alarm. Minuted taps you on the wrist when a meeting crosses into "why are we still here" territory.

History worth reading

Every meeting, saved. Week over week you see where the money actually goes — which meetings are quick and useful, which are slowly bleeding you.

Home screen widgets

Keep this week's meeting spend where you can glance at it. Small and medium sizes; no need to open the app to know how much you've lost this week.

Shareable summaries

Finish a meeting, get a beautiful card with the total. Drop it into Slack, iMessage, a performance review — wherever the conversation needs to happen.

In practice

What it feels like to actually see the cost.

The app is quiet until it shouldn't be. Most meetings stay in the cool blue range and you barely notice it's there. Then something drags on, the gradient starts to warm, and you remember why you installed this in the first place.

$100 comes up faster than you'd think. Minuted taps you on the shoulder.

About the maker

Made by one person, on purpose.

Minuted is made by Kurt Klein — a person who sat in one too many meetings wondering what they were actually costing the company. The first version was a spreadsheet. This is what it grew into.

There's no team, no venture funding, no roadmap dictated by someone else. Just an app I built because I wanted it to exist, and thought maybe you would too.

Coming next: Subscription Tracker

A second app, same philosophy. Track your subscriptions and see the real annual cost before you click "start free trial." In development now.

Every meeting has a price tag.
