See the overload before you take the job
Every booking pours its editing hours into your calendar, so red weeks show up in advance. No competitor shows you the workload behind the dates — only the dates themselves.
See the overload before you take the job
Every booking pours its editing hours into your days, so the calendar shows how hot each week actually is. You spot the week that’s about to break you before you say yes to another job.
- Each booking adds its real editing hours to the week
- Weeks that tip into overload go red before you accept more work
- No competitor shows you the editing load, not just the diary
Workload, not just bookings
Week-by-week heat
Every booked job adds its editing hours to the week it lands in, so 'busy' becomes a number you can see.
Red weeks in advance
Overload builds up before you reach it — spot it at enquiry stage, not after the deposit is in.
Warned before you commit
A red week is where the smarter answer is 'hold out' or 'quote up', and heat makes that cost legible.
You keep the call
Heat informs; you decide. It never blocks a booking — it just shows what agreeing will cost.
A calendar that knows what 'busy' costs
HoneyBook and Dubsado will tell you a Saturday is booked. Neither tells you that Saturday also owes you six hours of editing before Thursday — you find that out the hard way, mid-week.
| How it stacks up | HoneyBook / Dubsado — the usual way | lemon.gallery |
|---|---|---|
| Shows the date is taken | Yes | Yes |
| Shows the editing hours behind it | No | Every booking adds its hours to the week |
| Warns you before you overbook | You find out later | The week turns red before you say yes |
| Where it lives | A separate booked-jobs list | On the calendar you already check |
The workload behind the dates, surfaced
Bookings feed the map
Each project carries its estimated edit hours, which pour into the week the work actually happens.
Weeks change colour
Mild weeks stay green; heavy weeks warm up; weeks past your capacity turn red before they're booked.
See it at enquiry time
When a new enquiry lands, the week's current heat sits right there to inform your answer.
Book accordingly
Quote up for a red week, hold a date, or bring in an editor — heat makes the trade-off deliberate.
Where heat changes the decision
Wedding season peaks
Three Saturdays in a row each with two days of editing behind them — the map shows the real cost before you sign.
Mini-session bursts
A mini-day is quick to shoot and fast to edit — heat shows exactly how many you can stack in one week.
Commercial turnarounds
Same-week deliveries need headroom. A red week is the honest 'no' that keeps the client happy long-term.
Hiring an editor
The exact overtime hours heat reveals are the numbers you use to justify bringing help on board.

Questions, answered honestly
Just what the product actually does today.
What is production heat?
A calendar view of how hot each week actually is for you. Every booking pours its editing hours into your days, so you can see an overload week before you take another job into it.
Why does no one else have this?
Most CRMs show you what's booked, not how much work a booking means. Heat shows the editing workload behind the dates, which is the thing that actually breaks you.
Does it change what I can book?
It warns you before you commit — red weeks are where you should hold out for more, or quote up. You keep the final say; heat just makes the cost of saying yes visible.
