Technical contractors, you have automated your build pipelines, your deployments and your infrastructure.
Why are you still opening a web browser to fill out manual timesheets like it is 2005?
Git for Your Working Day
Your work already leaves perfect traces. Every commit tells a story, your calendar shows meetings, and your code reviews are timestamped.
The Zipwire CLI `zw` is now live on NPM to fix this. It brings the mental model of Git straight to your admin workflow, meeting you exactly where you are most productive—in the terminal.
Stop Context-Switching. Start Automating.
Instead of navigating complex web dashboards, you can now manage it all natively.
— Log hours instantly using familiar syntax like `zw journal track "Got AI to write my product announcement" -d 1m`
— It works so well because Zipwire completely flips the model by separating tracking from presentation, link below.
Because the tool is terminal-first and machine-readable, coding agents like Claude Code and Cursor can now automate your contractor operations.
Imagine a world where your agent checks your git commits, generates journal entries, validates it all against hard billing rules, and prepares everything for submission. No manual data entry, no forgotten hours, and no invoice rework.
Seamless Invoicing and WhatsApp Approvals
Zipwire bridges the gap between technical contractors and non-technical managers. You stay in your development environment while your boss and agency get the frictionless experience they need.
— Set your company details, rates, and currency entirely via commands, or let your agency manage it.
— Connect directly to FreeAgent or generate clean PDF invoices.
— Onboard your manager or agency as approvers. They do not need to sit and log into a portal—they can approve your hours and process payments directly via Zipwire's other AI-native surfaces and bots.
Get Started in Seconds
You can onboard completely from the command line in under two minutes without ever opening a web browser.
— Use the NPM package globally via
npmjs.com/package/@zipwire/z…
— Sign up directly from your terminal using your WhatsApp number: zw auth signup --name "Your Name" --whatsapp " 1234567890"
Your API token will save automatically and the WhatsApp bot will guide you through the quick activation steps. It is completely free for indies and small agencies.
