Free Tools for Freelancers & Agencies

Discover a curated collection of free tools to boost your productivity and streamline your workflow.

Being a freelancer myself, I know that it can be hard to find good tools for your business. You end up subscribing to a lot of products with bloated features you use at 10% of their capabilities. It's both frustrating and expensive. If you run a small business, you don't need a full-featured suite of complex apps with dozens of 3rd-party integrations. What you need are small, dead-simple, laser-focused utilities, tailored to your needs.

These tools are really simple, on purpose, so they stay easy to use. I don't want the tooling to get on my way. They are customisable –to some extent— and privacy-first. All of the data is stored on your computer, so you don't have to worry about someone stealing or selling your information. They require no account creation, and are, of course, free.

I've built these free apps mainly for myself, but I hope they'll help you too! Enjoy!

Kanban Board

A kanban board is a japanese method for task management. You move your tasks on a board, from "todo" to "done". It's really useful to keep track of your progress and keep an eye on what's next. This tool lets you create your own columns and assign them colors. You can then add tasks and easily move them through the columns by dragging them around.

Time Tracker

Tracking your time is an essential component of your job as a business owner. It lets you know how much time you spend on each task and each job. With this information, you'll be able to determine if you're on schedule and whether you're profitable or not. This tool lets you manually enter start and end times for a task, and it also comes with a timer. Once you've logged your tasks, you can export your logs in Excel format (XLS file) or visualize your time on a chart.

Client Onboarding Checklist

If you're a freelancer or run an agency, you know that when you get a new client, you need to collect info about them, set up their accounts, create a directory for them in your drive, update their profile in your CRM, whatever. In the rush, it's quite easy to forget something. You'll get frictions, lose time and look less professional. This checklist is customisable so you can make it fit your workflow and preferences.
