The first ten copies of Millo are numbered.

0 of 10 claimed. 10 left.

This isn't a discount

Millo costs US$450 today and it will cost US$450 in December. There's no money off in this and there never will be — cutting the price at the start only teaches everyone to wait for the next sale, and the people buying first deserve better than being the ones who paid full.

So what a founding number gets you isn't cheaper software. It's a handful of things that can't be bought afterwards at any price.

What comes with a founding number

A number that's only issued once

Founding Builder No. 1 through No. 10. Your place is on your receipt the day you buy. It settles for good thirty days after the tenth licence sells — if someone ahead of you changes their mind inside their thirty days, you move up a place — and from then it sits in your copy of Millo under Settings → Advanced and is never given out again. Not to a bigger customer, not to a friend, not in a year when it would be convenient.

A tag for the gang box

Engraved aluminium with your number on it. Every other tool in your truck has a serial number on it; this one has a number that only ten of them have.

Your first job, set up before you open it

Send a job you're actually running — the budget lines, who's on it, what they're paid — and it's built into your copy before you ever see an empty screen. A photo of a handwritten list is fine. Most software hands you a blank program and a tutorial; this hands you your own job, already in it.

Your name inside the program

On this page, and — once all ten are spoken for — in Millo itself, in every copy sold after that, for as long as Millo exists. Only if you want it there; plenty won't, and that's fine.

It works that way for a reason worth knowing: Millo never phones home. No copy of it talks to a server of ours, which is why your jobs and your numbers stay on your computer — and why the ten names have to be built into the program rather than fetched from somewhere. Your name will be in the software, not in a database of ours, because we don't have a database of yours.

Millo 2, free

Not just updates to the Millo you bought — the next major version too. You never pay for Millo again.

Millo Link free for its first year, once it ships

Link is the switch that lets your crew clock in from a job site instead of the office Wi-Fi. It isn't built yet, which is why that sentence says "once it ships" — when it lands, your first year of it costs nothing.

You get asked first, and answered straight

Before anything gets built you hear about it and get asked, ahead of everyone else. You'll be told what was decided and why — including the times the answer is no, which will be most of the time, and you'll get a reason rather than silence.

And one thing you ask for that's genuinely small — a column you need, a figure missing off a report, a word that's wrong — gets built. If what you want is bigger than that I'll say so straight, rather than nodding and forgetting.

My mobile

Not a support queue and not a ticket form — my actual number, for texts. I can do that for ten people. I couldn't do it for a hundred, which is the whole reason this stops at ten.

Why ten

Because setting up your first job for you and answering your texts are things one builder can do for ten companies and cannot do for a hundred. If the number went to everyone who bought before Christmas it would mean nothing, and the promises behind it would quietly stop being kept. Ten is the number I can stand behind.

How you get one

You buy Millo the normal way. There's no code to enter and no separate thing to choose — the first ten orders are the ten. If you're one of them, your place is on your receipt and I'll be in touch the same day about setting up your first job.

The terms, in plain words

• The price is US$450, the same as every other copy, before tax where it applies.
• Ten means ten. When the tenth sells, that's the end of it — including for anyone who asks nicely afterwards.
• Your number is yours for as long as you keep your copy. If a founding order is refunded inside the thirty days, that number goes to the next buyer — ten numbers, ten holders, no gaps. Once the ten are settled, no number is ever issued again.
• Millo Link is free for its first year once it ships. It isn't built yet, and there's no date attached to that. If it takes longer than expected you still get its first year whenever it arrives.
• Millo 2 is included when it comes, at no cost to you.
• Your name goes on this page and into the program only if you say yes. You can change your mind before the ten are complete.
• Refunds are unchanged — thirty days, no questions, same as everyone else. Changing your mind costs you nothing here either.
• The ten are final thirty days after the tenth licence sells, when the last refund window closes. That's the day the names go into the program.
• It closes when the tenth licence sells or on 31 December 2026, whichever comes first.
• Everything else is the ordinary terms of sale from the business behind Millo.

These terms were last changed on September 22, 2026. Buying Millo while this offer is open records that date with your order, alongside the ordinary terms.

If you've landed here without knowing what Millo is

It's job costing and a crew time clock for small builders, running on one Mac in your office. Your crew clock in on their phones. Every job shows what it's worth, what's been billed, what's done but not billed yet, and what's left to bill. Change orders, hours and invoices live in one place, and everything it makes also lands in a plain folder on your computer.
