Project management software for freelancers

Every client, one workspace, no seat for them.

Give each client a project of their own, invite them free, and get sign-off on the file instead of in a thread. The Free plan covers up to 5 users, and clients on a single project never count.

Start for free See how it works

A phone showing a review opened from an email. Tom Becker, the client, pins a comment on the homepage hero, “Logo a touch bigger?”, chooses Approve with changes and says what to change, and the request turns Approved with changes: Leo Ortiz has been told.

The problem

Five clients, five ways of working.

Every client brings their own threads, shared folders and idea of a deadline. The work is yours. Keeping track of where each client left their feedback shouldn't be.

  • "Did you see my email?" Feedback arrives in whichever thread the client replied to last, and the latest round is never the one you opened.
  • A "looks good" is not a sign-off A reply in a long thread is hard to find later, and harder to point to when a client remembers it differently.
  • Deadlines in five places Each client's dates sit in their own emails and tools, so a clash shows up the week it lands.
  • Paying a seat for every client A tool priced per person turns every client you invite into a line on your bill.

How it works

Three steps to calmer client work

  1. 1

    Give each client a project

    Take Ava, a freelance copywriter. Each client gets a project of their own, with its own board, files and conversation, and its columns renamed to match how Ava works. Every project is one click away in All projects.

  2. 2

    Invite the client, free

    Ava invites Tom from Northwind straight onto a job. Tom joins as a single-project guest: able to comment, upload and approve the work he's asked to approve on that project, with nothing else in view, and never a seat on the bill.

    The invite dialog on a job: tom@northwind.co typed into Email addresses, a line saying someone new joins as a free guest who sees that project only, a preview marking Tom as new with an invitation to send and no change to the paid seats, and a Send invitation button.

  3. 3

    Get the sign-off from the email

    Ava asks Tom to approve the draft by Friday. Tom opens it from the email without signing in, pins a comment where he means it, and approves or asks for changes with a note. Ava hears either way, and the decision stays on the job, not in an inbox.

Why it works

What you get, and what you don't

Sign-off you can point to

Each version shows who approved it or asked for changes, when, and the note they left.

Your week in one email

Opt in to the morning roundup: one email at 09:00 with what's overdue, due today and coming up on your jobs, across every client.

Deadlines on a calendar

Each project has a month calendar of its due dates. Drag a job to another day to move it, and schedule undated work from the Unscheduled tray.

Reminders that do the chasing

Skybase reminds people the day before a job is due, on the day, and once it's overdue.

Bring your Trello boards

Upload a board's JSON export and it arrives as a project: lists become columns, cards become jobs and checklists become tasks.

No timer, no invoices

Skybase doesn't track time or send invoices. Keep the tools you already use for hours and billing.

FAQ

What freelancers ask

Billing questions are on the pricing page. Anything else, email support@skybase.it.

Do my clients have to pay?
No. Invite each client to their own project as a single-project guest and they are never billed, on either plan. They don't count towards the 5 users the Free plan covers.
Does Skybase track time or send invoices?
No. Skybase has no timer, timesheets or client invoicing. It keeps each client's work, files, feedback and sign-off in one place, so keep the tools you already use for hours and billing.
What does the Free plan include?
Up to 5 users, 2 GB of file storage, unlimited projects and every feature, with no credit card. Anyone you bring in as a team member, such as another freelancer helping out, counts as one of those users. Pro is $3.99 per user per month when you need more people or 500 GB of storage.
What if a client needs more than one project?
Keep each client's work in one project and they stay a free single-project guest. If you add the same person to a second project, they become a multi-project guest and count as a user from then on.
Can my clients see each other?
No. A single-project guest sees the one project they were invited to and only the people on it, so your other clients, and their projects, jobs and files, stay out of sight. On their own project, a guest can change only the jobs they raised, are assigned to or were added to.
Can I keep notes the client can't see?
Yes. Every job has a Notes tab that only you can read. Comments are different: anyone who can see a job, the client included, sees its whole comment thread.
