For freelancers and small studios

The workspace your clients can see.

Projects, tasks, and invoices in one place, plus a portal they can log into. They stop asking for updates. You stop writing them.

Awaiting client

Three tools, finally in one place

  • Your client directory
  • Your project board
  • Your invoice tracker

Same records underneath, so a task, an invoice, and a client are never out of step.

How it works

One engagement, start to paid.

Each step writes to the same record, which is why the client portal and the activity log are never out of date.

  1. 01

    Add the client

    Name, company, and email. The email is what lets them claim portal access later.

  2. 02

    Start the project

    Scope, budget, and a deadline in one record you can send them.

    Break it into tasks

    Drag work across To do, In progress, Review, and Done. Progress rolls up automatically.

    6/14
  4. 04

    Draft the update

    The assistant reads the tasks, invoices, and deadline, then writes the summary you would have written.

    Draft ready · read 14 tasks
  5. 05

    Raise the invoice

    Numbered from your own sequence, tracked from draft to paid, with the amount still owed on the overview.

What is different

Three things most tools in this space get wrong.

One workspace for the whole engagement

Client, project, tasks, and invoices are the same set of records. There is no syncing between them and no second app holding the truth.

A project's invoices, tasks, and conversation in one screen.

AI that has read the project

Drafts are grounded in your actual task list, budget, deadline, and invoice status — not a blank chat box guessing at your business.

Read before writing

  • 14 tasks
  • 3 invoices
  • $12,400 budget
  • 12-day deadline

An audit trail you can show a client

Every change is written to an append-only log with a timestamp. Nothing is edited out of it, which ends most scope arguments before they start.

Client portal

Your client gets a login, not another PDF.

They sign up with the email address already on their client record, and the work links itself. No invitations to send, no access to configure.

  • Progress on every project shared with them
  • Invoices addressed to them, with status
  • One button to approve a deliverable or ask for changes
  • A notification straight to you either way

Security

Built so that a mistake on the client is only a mistake on the client.

Client records are the most sensitive thing here. These are not aspirations; each one is visible in the running product.

01
Ownership checked on every action
Each of the server actions verifies the signed-in account against the record before it reads or writes.
02
Validated input, parameterised queries
Every mutation is parsed against a schema before it reaches the database, and every query is parameterised.
03
Deletes are reversible
Nothing is hard-deleted. Removing a record hides it immediately and the undo window brings it back.
04
Restrictive security headers
A content security policy, HSTS, and frame, referrer, and permissions policies ship on by default.

Pricing

Free, and everything is in it.

One tier. No trial that expires, no feature held back to upsell later, no card on file.

$0forever
  • Unlimited clients, projects, and tasks
  • Invoices numbered from your own sequence
  • Client portal access for everyone you work with
  • AI drafting and progress summaries
  • Full activity log and audit trail
Create your account

Invoices track status and what is owed. Taking payment online is not built yet, and neither is PDF export — so we do not claim them.

Questions

The things people ask before signing up.

What users say

Sample quotes

These are placeholder quotes kept for layout. They are not real customers, and they say so on the page.

Sample content — not real customers

“Replaced three tools I was juggling. Clients see progress and pay invoices from one place, and I stopped writing status emails entirely.”
?Sample quoteUX designer and consultant
“The overview tells me what is owed and what is late before I have to go looking. That alone was worth switching for.”
?Sample quoteIndependent developer
“My clients think I have an operations team. It is me, a laptop, and this.”
?Sample quoteBrand strategist

Free, everything included. Bring one client across and see whether your next status email is still necessary.
