Solo Freelancers

You switch clients ten times a day, and the context never survives the jump.

A freelancer carries every level of the organization in their head - the craft, the scheduling, the billing, the communication. Each client is a separate world, and every switch between them is a boundary crossing where something risks falling through.

Half your work lives in your head. The rest is scattered across apps, notebooks, and good intentions.

Five clients means five contexts, five communication styles, five sets of expectations. You're the only person holding all of it together, and every context switch is a chance for a deadline to slip, an invoice to be forgotten, or a client to wonder what's happening.

Context scattered across tools and memory
Every switch risks dropping something
Clients waiting on updates that live in your head
Every level of the organization, in one clear perspective.

All clients, one overview

Switch between projects instantly. The feed shows what needs attention across every engagement without opening five tabs.

No per-seat pricing trap

Invite clients without doing math. Collaboration should not have a price per head.

Depth on demand

Start with a board. Add time tracking, cost tracking, and deadlines when a project calls for it. Nothing is mandatory.

A week without the juggling, and nothing falls through.
1

New client onboard

Create a project, set up their workflow, invite them. Their world gets its own space - your dashboard gets another card.

2

Context switch

Your feed shows what matters across all clients. You check one place and know which deadlines are pressing, which conversations need a reply, and which invoices are overdue.

3

Deliver and bill

The work was tracked, the hours are logged, the client already saw progress. Invoicing is arithmetic, not archaeology.

4

Overview

At any moment, you can see the state of everything - five clients, one perspective, zero tab-switching.

One tool, every client

Each project is a separate space. Clients see their work, you see everything.

Built-in time tracking

Start a timer, do the work, stop. Billing-ready hours without a separate app.
