I've been freelancing and working with freelancers for years, and client management is still a mess for most of us. We end up juggling email, Google Drive, Slack, a separate invoicing tool, maybe a contract app, and still get the "hey, where's my file?" message every week.
I've been building a client portal specifically for freelancers one place where your clients log in and see their projects, pay invoices, sign contracts, download files, and message you. No more chasing.
Before I launch it here on Product Hunt, I wanted to ask:
What's the biggest time sink in how you currently manage clients?
If you use HoneyBook, Dubsado, or something similar what do you love and what drives you crazy?
Would you actually give clients a login to a portal, or does that feel like too much friction?

Love the focus on global accessibility and pricing transparency. The client login experience solves a real pain point that freelancers deal with constantly. One thing I'd be curious about: how are you thinking about helping freelancers track mentions of their brand or client feedback across the web, or do most users primarily rely on what comes through your portal.
@osakasaulΒ Thanks so much for the kind words! π Great question. Right now Frelvo keeps all client communication inside the portal (messages, contract feedback, invoice disputes), so nothing gets lost in email threads. Brand monitoring across the web is an interesting idea I haven't built yet. Honestly, most freelancers I've talked to care more about what their clients say TO them (in the portal) than about them (on the web). But if that's something you'd find useful, I'd love to hear more about your workflow. It could be a great future addition. For now, the CRM pipeline + AI nudges help surface when a client goes quiet, which is usually the signal freelancers care about most.
