Everything for the gig,
in one place.
THE MOTR TOOLKIT:
Gigs & Clients
Organize all of your work by gig and client. Every shift, expense, document, and task lives under the gig it belongs to.
Clients & Contacts
Keep a directory of your clients and their contacts. Link clients to gigs so invoices, rate schedules, and per diem policies carry over automatically.
Shifts & Billable Hours
Log your hours with precise start and end times. MOTR automatically calculates day rates, overtime, double time, and short turnaround penalties using your custom rate schedules.
Live Time Tracker
Start a timer the moment you're on the clock. MOTR tracks your session in real time and converts it directly into a billable shift — no manual entry needed.
Flexible Rate Schedules
Set up custom pricing tiers per client — day rates, overtime, double time, short turnaround penalties, and custom multipliers. MOTR applies the right rates automatically so every hour is billed correctly.
Expenses & Receipts
Track out-of-pocket expenses and per diems. Snap a photo of a receipt and AI extracts the merchant, amount, date, and category automatically.
Forward a receipt email and the assistant files it to the right gig.
Invoicing
Generate professional invoices directly from your tracked shifts and expenses. Export to QuickBooks or download as PDF.
Estimates & Deposits
Send a quote before the work starts. Build an estimate from the same line items as an invoice, then convert it to a deposit invoice in one click when the client signs off.
Travel & Per Diem
MOTR detects travel gigs automatically, adds travel days, and applies your per diem policies — lodging, meals, and travel-day rates flow straight onto the invoice. Search and book real-time flights right from the gig's logistics page — pay with a company or personal card without leaving MOTR.
Connected Email
Connect your Gmail inbox and let AI scan for gig-related emails — travel itineraries, schedules, and call sheets — and pull relevant info into context automatically.
The assistant reads your inbox so you don't have to dig through threads.
Forward to Your Assistant
Get a personal MOTR email address and forward — or CC — any message to it. The assistant reads it, files receipts, links it to the right gig, and pulls out the details — no need to connect your whole inbox.
CC your assistant on a booking email and it sets up the gig before you've finished reading it.
Cloud Folders
Link your Dropbox and Google Drive folders directly to a gig. Contracts, riders, tech specs — all accessible from the gig page.
Ask the assistant to find any file in your cloud storage by name or content, and watch Drive folders to auto-file new uploads to the right gig.
Tasks
Keep a running to-do list for each gig. Nothing falls through the cracks between load-in and wrap.
Tell the assistant to create tasks, set due dates, and link them to gigs — all from the chat.
Automations
Put the busywork on autopilot. When something happens in MOTR — a show gets booked, an invoice goes out, a shift wraps — or on a schedule you set, automatically create tasks and reminders, fire off notifications or emails, hand the job to your AI assistant, or call a webhook. Connect MOTR to n8n, Zapier, Make, or anything that speaks webhooks.
Crew Calendar
Share a public link to your schedule so booking agents and producers can check your availability — no account needed on their end. Only the shows you mark public ever appear.
Desktop & Mobile Apps
MOTR runs everywhere you do: in the browser, as a desktop app for Mac and Windows with a live shift timer in the system tray, and as a native app for iOS and Android.
