Hey, Product Hunt! 👋 I’m excited to introduce Penpoint, a simple and lightweight CRM designed to help freelancers and design consultants stay organized and manage their client relationships effortlessly. As a freelancer myself, I’ve struggled with tools that are overly complex or packed with features I didn’t need. Penpoint is built to cut through the noise and focus on what truly matters—helping you track your clients and projects without the overwhelm. Here’s what Penpoint does right now: • Client & Project Tracking: Keep all your client information and project details organized in one intuitive dashboard. • Simple Organization: Quickly view and update client and project statuses without unnecessary steps. This is just the start! I’m looking for early adopters to try Penpoint and share feedback. Your input will directly shape future features and improvements.

Penpoint's approach to tailoring CRM for freelancers and consultants is fascinating. I'm curious about the design philosophy behind it—how do you balance simplicity with providing enough depth for complex client interactions? For instance, does it adapt to freelancers managing long-term client relationships versus one-off projects?
Jon Chaplin
@tonyabracadabra thanks and great question! I’m still finding the balance, but I’m sure I could learn a bunch from the people who use it and see the potential for themselves

Congratulations on the launch @jonathanjamesc. Suggestion: see if you can get a better teaser video. Something that can make users atleast try the product. The recent good one I've seen is

Congrats on the launch! Love the simple, intuitive design. How do you handle invoicing and payments within Penpoint?
Jon Chaplin
Appreciate it:) @ihuzaifashoukat invoicing isn’t included with this version but for now, I give users the chance to include their own stripe links that get sent to clients once the project is completed

Congrats on your launch! Is the CRM mainly for usage on mobile apps? Would you consider building an app for it in the future?
Jon Chaplin
@nick_tay I would say it’s a mobile first design for this web application, but I would love to make it native when it has some traction

Congrats on the launch! @jonathanjamesc Are you maybe planning also to add time tracking for working on specific task and for having calls/emails with the client?
Jon Chaplin
@edmundas_eddy 🙏 thanks:) and time tracking is great! definitely something I’m considering after a round of interviews with this version. There are some simple email workflows and comments in place that email update the client, though calls and something more personalized sounds fun
